DH and I are going grocery shopping tomorrow and it is crunch time for us with our sway. I want to get into a routine with what I am eating. Can anyone give me some tips on some boy friendly foods/snacks that they liked to use during their successful sway?
Oats, Almond milk, Frozen berries, Greek Yogurt, Bananas, Apples, Almonds/Any nuts, Peanut butter, Wholegrain Bread, Chicken, Salad Stuff, Crackers, Avocado, Tuna, Cottage Cheese, Lemons, Protein Powder, Lean Meat, Lots of Vegies, V8, Green Tea, Dark Chocolate
i can do all of that except the chicken. and will have to do gluten free whole grain breads! thanks so much! think if i am going to do doing a lot of frozen berries and yogurts i might just combine them and start making myself oatmeal fruit smoothies in the morning and some eggs on the side since i have been hearing eggs sway boy!Quote:

Cinss said some good ones I also ate dried apricots with nuts and coconut water
Bananas & potatoes!!
I have three boys and I love those foods.
Sending you ALL my blue dust!
The important thing is to get what you like and will actually eat!!!
So I don't need to eat a bunch of potassium rich foods and stuff? I just need to eat a lot basically? I am generally a pretty healthy eater so that's already in my favor. Because if pigging out and not going for runs is what I need to do I am down for that!!! Best. Summer. Ever.Quote:

You need food high in nutrition.. And that is a great list and makesure you get what you would like to eat, the last thing you want to do is eat stuff that make you wanna hurl!! Lol
Wish you all the best, trust me it may seem over whelming but I spent six months with this diet and it really is not at all bad..
Thanks Cinss! That's something I will have to get used to but I think I can handle it :) I'm still trying to get used to eating breakfast! Big adjustment for me. I'm hoping my body noticing the change of me never eating breakfast for YEARS and now all of a sudden I am will be in my favor!
Thanks! And congrats on your pregnancy!! Blue dust!!!!Quote:

I am also taking fish oil, prenatal vitamins, evening prime rose oil pills, will start using pre seed lub since its friendly for the Sperm and its alkaline in favor for a boy and will use organic egg white every other day to help conceive a boy since the egg white has a pH of 9 which is very alkaline and favorable for a boy! Anyone else has any other tips that I can use? Also consume a lot of almonds since they are high in alkaline along with dried prunes and peaches as well! I am also consuming a lot more bananas and hubby should take zinc or CoQ10 to help sperm be more mobile!
