LE diet with quality food - anyone?

[WantingPink]

I am a foodie as well. Organic chicken, grass fed beef, nitrite free everything, and organic veggies and fruit. I also am very "perfect" about everything. I use to run 30 minutes 5 times a week and did weight workouts or yoga 4-5 times a week. Gee, have no idea why I had two boys Well, I really wanted a girl so I threw all that out the window. I wanted a girl more than anything else so I went on a mission to destroy myself. I didn't work out anymore, ate what I call crap (bread, pasta, chocolate, etc.) and I started drinking a fair amount of alcohol too, 2-3 glasses of wine 5 days a week. I still ate organic/grass fed meat because I just CAN'T do crappy meat. I also can't do artificial sweeteners either. In the mean time I did find myself relaxing about what I ate. I did gain weight cause I too have a sensitivity to any kind of wheat and corn products. I usually detox twice a year too and I didn't do that either. However, I was still ovulating regularly so it must have been "okay". Well I do believe it is how I got my girl. I really think it made a difference.

Here is the deal... you are the only one who has to live with the decision. If you have a 3rd and it is a boy, and you didn't go all out, will you regret your decision? If they answer is no than do what you are comfortable with. In the end it is all about what you are comfortable with mentally and physically.

Our Internet has been wonky and I've been busy toddler chasing the past couple days - thanks so much for the amazing responses! I'm feeling great and so much less stressed - and I certainly enjoy some junky food now and then. I'm going to be purchasing a personalized plan soon (yay!) and I'm sure that we'll do all we can to get a healthy pregnancy, and if it's pink, so much the better . So grateful to have found this site and this support!

All of your info here has been extremely helpful and insightful, ladies! We live in a farm community, somewhat affluent town but really it's a semi-rural/resort area. We are not "rich", just typical middle class, personally. So it's an interesting mix of boys vs girls. The ladies who tend to eat like I do have the boys: grass fed meats, organic, whole foods, local fruits and veggies "support the farmers" eaters, I suppose. We are in cherry country, too and I know those are loaded with potassium and other nutrients. I have had days where I've only eaten cherries in the past on some hot summer days. I mean I ate loads of them! It's no wonder I've conceived four boys! There are many many women here who have multiple boys, though. Three seems to be the magic number. Every family on our son's hockey team was a family of three boys each!
I have noticed that those women who tend to appear unhealthy-either very heavy or very thin tend to have more girls, though. It's very interesting. The socioeconomic factor is what I see at work.
It's sort of opposite to the previous post about Silicon Valley here, too. The better off (money-wise) tend to have healthier diet that is boy friendly, in this local area, while the lower incomes have unhealthy and a lot of processed food diets...recipes posted on Pinterest by some friends and on Facebook are some interesting indicators, as well. The healthier women who do workout like me tend to average a healthy (several are more muscular, I suppose from doing riding bike, swimming, running, skiing, or a combo) size 10-14 or so and have plenty of boys. It's so fascinating to read all of your posts and notice what could help us all out in some way or another.

I am hoping that I can shift my normally healthy diet enough to make a change, but we will see. Skipping breakfast is tricky for me and the hardest part. At least with summer here, it will be easier to load up on healthy and more girl friendly veggies than in winter months.
