I know it sways boy to eat out because of high sodium. Just curious what others have conceived. This pregnancy was a surprise and we were eating out a lot around that time. However I ate really small meals, if that makes a difference. I also never ate breakfast.
I was wondering about this earlier - going to do my best to stick to the LE diet, but wondering what the best options are if DH and I go out to eat (family occasions, etc).
I ate out all the time when I got 2 and 3 and they are boys
I hardly ever eat out and my sodium levels have pretty much always been low as I'm not a fan and don't add extra to food. I'm expecting my third boy!
I love salt always have...my food has a white coat i also eat foods that are salty to begin with........only difference when i swayed boy i used sea salt rather than regular table saltt
I ate often and have 6 boys!
We on GD don't really believe that sodium sways either way, but it's kept in for health reasons as it's good to eat less anyway. I wouldn't have thought eating out regularly as it's all about your overall pattern of eating, not any one particular meal. :)

That makes me feel better, thanks! I have 2 boys and I'm hoping for a girl. My diet was waaay different than when I conceived them. With my current pregnancy, I was eating tiny meals and only 2X a day tops... and never any snacking.
I am not at all convinced that high sodium sways blue, and I got my DD eating a ton of sodium after my failed IG sway where I was trying to limit it.
I did get a boy when I was eating a lot of fast food but it was because I ate red meat at lunch and dinner all the time!! Not the sodium. I would have a roast beef sandwich for lunch and dinner and one milkshake every day LOL. I also had cereal for breakfast every day.
Vegetarian when you can and don't worry about the rest of it. Cheating is not only encouraged on LE Diet, it's MANDATORY because it helps you stick to the diet the rest of the time. It's the overall diet that counts, not any one meal.Quote:

I know this is old but I figured I would add my 2 cents. I am a constant snacker and have 2 boys. The LE Diet so far is a big change for me but I'm loving it!
Before, I ate out often, ate in often, just loved to eat and snack. In fact the ovulation where DS was conceived, I had been out for massive meals every day for about a week, pretty much my entire fertile window. It was the week before Xmas though. Personally I don't think it had anything to do with sodium (although I guess you will consume more when not eating at home as other people will add to the cooking), but even if eating a smaller meal it will be higher in calories and fat. I would always eat what I wanted. I went to the gym and ate healthily most of the time in my mind so if I wanted to eat a 3 course meal plus wine when out, that's what I would do.
I agree I don't think it has anything to do with sodium at all! :)
That's exactly what my diet was. A lot of fast food, milkshakes, and cereal at least twice a day. I have 3 boys.Quote:
