The ph of soda is 2.5 so it's very acidic. As far as I know, a caffeine free diet soda or 2 per day shouldn't hurt your sway, it could possibly help

Soda is a no from what I have read for TTC a girl if you are trying to increase your calcium level. The active ingredient in soda is phospheric acidic and studies have shown that phospheric acid depletes your bones of calcium. This depletion weakens bones and with less calcium available the bones become more porous and prone to fracture. This calcium deleption is also considered to be a major contributer to the rising increase in osteoporosis.

There is way more scientific data out there to back up the calcium claims than the pH data having an effect on gender.

[Coccinelle33]

Yes but if the calcium is coming out of our bones that means its coming out somewhere.....some in CM perhaps?

hmmm maybe?

Here are couple of my ideas for meals- Pasta w/ unsalted butter and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, green beans & rice w/ Mrs dash. White corn w/unsalted butter & side of green beans, cucumber(no peeling) & raspberry salad.

I've seen Atomic post a few times that the real issue is keeping calories low so that the body feels conditions are not optimal - that seems to generate more girls. Since I am insulin resistant, the girl diet is not a great idea for me, so I am following a low carb diet. I think whatever keeps your calories and glucose low is probably a good bet, but I haven't researches this as much as some other folks here.

Not to confuse you even more, but here's an article I read recently:

Yes, I need to write up a "swaying under special circumstances" and talk more about insulin resistance.

You can conceive a girl eating a side of beef if your caloric intake is low and you're losing weight.
