I know it's extremely frustrating when the advice doesn't always mesh, but it's because different sites use different bodies of knowledge and no one really knows what works and what doesn't. Most sway sites all use this old outdated information from studies that were done 50+ years ago and ignore everything that has been done since. Those of us who made this site had opposites doing things that way and started doing research into more modern theories of gender swaying and that is why we diverge from those recommendations - because they didn't work for us and we know more modern evidence debunks them.
The best study ever done on maternal diet and gender conceived (and indeed, the ONLY one that wasn't done by someone selling mineral balancing diets) found that women who had more calcium and magnesium intake had more BOYS, not more girls. That having been said, I understand it's hard to give that up so I allow people to take cal-mag in supplement form but only without the Vitamin D. Vitamin D has been shown to improve fertility, condition, and raise testosterone, and likely sways blue. So I don't recommend calcium with Vit. D in it for anyone (I got my 3rd and 4th boys taking cal/mag/D and gave it up to get my girl). I would def. try to find one without Vitamin D, even if it means having to resort to Tums.
I like you guys to take more like 1200 mcg folic acid or folate. Unless you have reason to believe your egg quality is low I'd stick with 100 on the coq10.
Preseed is believed to sway blue so :agree: with giving that up. We have not found any of the jellies do much for pink sways, with the same number of people getting girls with and without them, but fine to use Sylk to start with if you'd like to. I have the full case against pH here:

Ions don't work, and the essay debunking them (with apologies as this is rather long, but it took that amount of time to investigate thoroughly) is here:

There are some people out there who try to sum up the Low Everything Diet (and unfortunately get it wrong sometimes). But this is my diet, I invented it, so I'm the one who's got it right on the recommendations. The losing weight and skipping breakfast are actually about the least important elements of the diet - it's the limits that matter (and many people don't have the weight to spare!) and spending more of your day without food coming in. Some do this by skipping breakfast, others skip dinner or just eat 3 meals spaced out over the course of the day. Whichever option will work best for you is fine as long as you're in the limits.
To track your food intake you'll need to Google the stuff you're eating or use food labels or some other nutrient tracking resource and then keep a loose tally. You can do this on a piece of paper, or online using an app of some sort like My Fitness Pal. It's actually much easier than it sounds at first and it only takes a few days till you get the hang of it. Once you have a sense of how much you can eat, many people even stop tracking all together (which is fine as long as you don't inadvertently start cutting back more and more).
Legumes you count protein and calories in them. And any fat you've added (in their natural state they're basically fat free) needs to be counted as well.
Gum is fine between meals. But aspartame likely does nothing to help your sway.
12 weeks on diet or more has gotten best results for us. 2-4 weeks was very poor results so I would give it at least 6.
