So um, it's been like three days on the boy diet and I have massive heartburn, bloating and digestive problems, I feel like I must weight a thousand pounds.
This gets better, right? *hopeful look*

That is how I felt for the 9mths I was preg with my DS1... Did you take a preg test before dieting? You will get used to it but it may help to cut back a little on some foods and then increase to the req amount. I am doing this for the girl diet and it help the body adjust without the shock.
It might be red meat. If you are not used to eat it every day, it can give you serious heartburn, esp if you are A blood type. There was this lady on ig ( she got her boy btw :-) who had bad heartburns and digestive troubles caused by red meat so she switched her diet to alkaline forming foods ( you can find many lists of alkalizing/acidifying food online). Alkalizing food are basically boy-friendly, red meat is slightly acidic but it is supposed to raise your testosterone. I've learned here you can raise testosterone eating nuts:agree:
Or maybe you just have to get used to boy friendly foods. I hope that's the case :happy:
I haven't started swaying yet, but as I am getting prepared, I have been stocking up on boy friendly foods, etc. I have been eating more meat, nuts, potatoes, potato chips, etc, and I am feeling fat as a house. I guess it is worth it, right? We can lose weight nursing our baby boys! :):xy:
I love the way your mind works! Totally agree! LOL!Quote:

ARe you doing the baking soda drinks?? Baking soda can cause something called "rebound heartburn" because it is an antacid, so it lowers your stomach acid after you drink it and then your body tries to compensate by upping your stomach acid. Tomatoes are also big heartburn foods.Quote:

YOu can't take Tums because of the calcium but Zantac, Prevacid, Pepcid all sway blue by reducing acid.
I feel as big as a house! I am bloated for sure, but no heartburn. I have gained a couple of pounds since starting this diet, but I feel like I have gained so much more. I'm ready to DTD, get a BFP, so I can eat what I want! :) This boy diet is definitely not for me... lolQuote:

Juice can def. cause heartburn - is it better today??
Haha, if juice can cause heartburn that must explain it because I haven't had juice since I was a kid and my mom made me and now I'm drinking two V8 fusions and a big glass of apple juice every day. And yes, I think I'm getting better.Quote:
