Struggling to think of any girl friendly meals!

[Ramona]

I don’t know why, I’ve just always done it! It’s so easy for me, I never get the hunger pangs or anything until about 4pm and then I know I’ve got to start preparing my dinner, with a nice sweet treat afterwards!

Which leads me onto my next query:

Does dairy sway blue? I ask this as I’ve seen on various threads that a lot of pink swayers glug lots of milk though I’m sure I read a previous post of Atomics which said that she and her DH gave up dairy and they then conceived a DD (please correct me if I’m wrong!) I’ve cut out butter replacing with a vegetable oil spread (flora light) I’ve switched to semi-skimmed milk, I’ve also cut out cheese but I’m finding this hard! I’m also worried that cereal sways blue - I LOVE CEREAL! Almost as much as my DH! Especially the unhealthy sugary stuff! Are there any cereals you could recommend for me please? If not, I will consider switching to sweets (I love milky ways!) however I’m not really a big fan of sweets (chocolate on the other hand... yum!) I also love white toast (4 slices, crusts cut off) then followed by my cereal - I never eat at breakfast time nor lunch but I love breakfast things! Is the reason cereal sways blue because most people eat it in the morning??

Sorry for the long winded post, I promise I’ll leave you all alone soon!

That's a good question. I hope cereal doesn't say blue, because I practically have it every night as dessert. And I'm lactose intolerant. LOL. Waiting for Atomic to chime in.

Are you me? DH and I are talking about TTC in December-January. And I, too, do intermittent fasting and only eat dinner. I hope IF will push me into pink sway territory.

I was doing IF in the same fasting times as you before my DD

Meal wise, I'd make rice bowls (with an egg, veggies, but mostly rice), tomato and mozzarella balsamic panino, shakshuka with pita, etc. I ate eggs, pork, and chicken, but my protein counts overall were rarely over 50g.

Cereal is the only food shown in a study to have been eaten by women who then went on to conceive boys.

I ALWAYS ate cereal for dessert every night and got my 2nd and 3rd boy doing that!! I can't recommend it for pink swayers.

Yes, there's an old school sway diet where people ate lots of dairy but it makes no biological sense and many of us (msyelf included) got boys that way. If you MUST increase calcium intake for a sway (which did not work for me, like, at all LOL but everyone should do things the way they want) then please just take cal-mag supplements without Vit. D and not drink/eat lots of dairy foods.

This doesn't mean you have to completely stop eating dairy either and in fact it can be a very handy food for LE Diet since it has protein and fat and calories all in one.

I cannot and will not ever recommend cereal not only because of the study but because I personally got boys doing that. It's not only that most people eat it for breakfast (which I never do, I too always had it as a dessert/bedtime snack)but more importantly that it's highly fortified like a vitamin and nutrients = more boys.

That is crazy! I had no idea. Guess hubby and the boys will have to eat all my cereal. [emoji22]

Looks like I am going to have to pick another sweet treat/dessert...

Is milk chocolate okay? I don’t really eat sweets (jelly babies etc) and I need something good!

Thanks everyone!

I think I've seen Atomic talk about Silk and coconut water. It's not the same, but it's something. [emoji22]

So DH makes a delicious tuna salad, and I'm wondering if there's anything here that's not girl friendly? This is the bulk recipe:

4 cans small tuna
2.5 TBS mayo
1 tbs mustard
Half apple
1 Tbs honey
2 Tbs diced pickles
Onion powder tsp
Salt pepper

Sounds good to me however I’m completely ditching the eggs, meat and fish - not very difficult as I don’t really eat it anyway! I’m just hoping that my natural way of eating after 5pm will help my sway so much that I can maybe get away with some cheese! Bye bye cereal though
