Soda, Fun with pH testing??

[mis2ninos]

The research shows that the people who have an extremely high sugar diet or a fake sugar diet are more likely to have girls... I normally had what I felt was a lot of sugar (1/3 of my high calorie diet) and I have boys. But I know from my family history that my body takes longer to break down the sugar levels. I have a meter and in the morning glucose is extremely low and after my normal sugars through out the day my night glucose is almost dangerously high.

I chose to do fake sugar in my diet to help me loose weight but I am also trying to get my body used to lower amounts of sugar. In Feb I started with 8 packets of aspartame in each of my 2 cps of coffee, as of today I am down to 4 packets. When I get a BFP I will only drink 1 cp a day and I hope to be at no sugar or very little.... I have lost 40.5 lbs and I am very proud of it.

40 pounds thats incredible!! I'm going to try to drop 20 and that will put me at about my lowest adult weight. How fast did you lose it? I bet its so hard :| But keep your eye on the prize, right??

I have been loosing it since March... I could loose more. If I don't get my BFP in a few weeks I will skip TTC in August to loose more weight and then TTC in Sept and Dec and Jan.

I would love to be down to 130... with muslces. I am building a bike trailer so I can ride everyday after baby.

how did they get such accurate results from paper?

so should you go for the least or most acidic? wouldn't it be the least acidic?

But it's not the pH of the food/drink itself that is the most important, it's the pH of what it does in your body (allegedly.) So some things that are alkaline react in your body to turn more acidic and vice versa, which is why blue swayers drink lemon water even though it's acidic.

thanks pp, so do you think most acidic is better or most acidic that also contains aspartame? So diet soda? I would prefer the diet, I looked at a bottle of regular coke at the gas station today and it had 240 calories!!! wth

Reg sugar pop can help lower your blood sugar in addition to making you more acidic though, because your body releases insulin to digest the sugar and you end up with a blood sugar "crash" after drinking it. (that is, if you don't drink or eat anything else afterwards for a few hours!!!)

[atomic sagebrush]

Only drink diet soda... keeps blood sugar low, less calories, and turns you acidic. It is the fake chemical sugars that turn everything acidic and that is what you want. Real sugar, honey, agave, and one fake sugar I forgot the name of or for boys diets. I am drinking things with aspartame and splenda, can't wait to have real sugar again.

The best things to drink are crystal light, diet caff free sodas, and reverse osmosis water.

Where in AZ are you?

Sugar is ok for both pink and blue sways and the reason why is in this essay: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/show...-pink-and-blue

oh we were just in Flagstaff I love northern Arizona!! Its so green! We love taking the kids to Phx too, much better waterparks than what we have. Plus we are northern Tucson so its only about an hour drive. Not bad. Phx is so big!!! Fashion square is nice

Yeah we don't drink the water here, usually drink the walmart brand, what brands are RO? Aquafina? Dasani?

hi all,just putting myin,but as a mum of 3,i would only drink really sugary coke(cant stand the sugar free)has to be really sweet,then not eating much and not as regular.wouldnt that make your bs levels go up and down etc making it better for girl sway????? im only talking from my own experience though as i dont know much about what diet you are meant to be following.sorry for butting in but i just had to say!pink dut to you all.

Yes that is exactly right Jane and thank you so much for your input. It means the world to me that you guys are so wonderful about helping out when I can't be here.

Hi Jane! thanks for sharing! You have 3 girls? With regular coke? See I conceived my only DD on regular coke too I'm really struggling with which is best.....

Yes 3 girls.and I would say I had a very high sugary diet,some days I would just eat sweets most part of the day,never brekky and always sugary drinks!very unhealthy:-(

[mis2ninos]

Ok Atomic so what do you think about this? Drinking regular Coke alone and then drinking diet coke with meals so that I can avoid any problems with mixing the sugar and other food together? I'm not ttc until 2012 so I'm trying to get my plan to 100% so I'm not stressing these things when ttc! Need to be confident about my plan. Tks again!
