Sample girl diet menu for DH?

Hiya, does it matter if you choose a different diet for your OH than you are on? Obviously we will both avoid red meat and salt but OH is soo picky and loves his crisps, salty stuff and red meat!
He is also 6ft and eats alot and still moans he is hungry!
He also hates chicken, just cant see him participating too much - he would eat ice cream and cheese, doesnt like milk - only evaporated milk! But maybe could get him to have it mixed with strawberries and yoghurt as he loves yoghurts.

Hi chocolate and welcome! (chocolate is ALWAYS welcome in my world! )

I personally believe that diet is much less important for DH than it is for us. They don't need to follow the diets so strictly because in nature, most of the time, the male makes the deposit and then flees the scene but it's the mother's environment that a child will be born into, so it's her environment that matters to which gender child has a better chance of survival.

Aside from that, one of my main rules of swaying is, "If Daddy ain't happy, nobody's happy!" A lot of us have really had struggles with our husbands and swaying to the point where some guys have even refused to TTC any more. I think that we need to always remember to make our husband's comfort and wishes at least something of a priority, if for no other reason than they always have "veto" power over another baby and if we push them too far, we may end up not getting our chance to sway at all!!

FWIW, I think for DH to avoid red meat is far and away the most important thing that he can do anyway.

PS - I had bought Yoplait light yogurt for myself and my husband started eating it and he really likes it. He says its not as sicky-sweet as reg. yogurt and he never knew until I told him it was sweetened with aspartame. Now he eats it all the time, if only he would have been so cooperative when I was swaying pink instead of blue haha.

The thing I noticed is that the cartons are almost identical, so I wonder if it would be possible to make a switcheroo if your husband likes yogurt but won't eat aspartame. He might not even notice the difference and then if he did notice, you could always play dumb and say you got it on accident!

Junk food can actually reduce men's sperm count, which we believe would sway pink. http://blog.sfgate.com/gurley/2011/1...-less-fertile/

Hiya, thanks for the reply, I think ill look at the diets and choose the easiest for my OH and ill do the ig one. OH would eat a lot of the stuff he likes, like yoghurt etc. But will really miss red meat. Will have a look at the diets amd see what will fit the best. OH is under a lot of pressure at work right now, sleep deprived and has red hair so need to de-stress him lol! What is the most important time frame for changing his sperm? Is it full on 6 weeks or put the best in from abstinance? When he was tested a few yrs back he had a high sperm count

Sperm takes 72 days to form and ANYTIME in there things can go awry and end up swaing pink.
