Girl sway attempt questions
We plan to sway one last time for a girl. I swayed for my last boy born this year in April. I did mostly the PCOS version of the girl diet but the month we got pregnant I veered off a little bit and gained a few pounds around O time so maybe that swayed boy for me. Not really sure.
So fast forward to now, we plan to start trying for #4 and our final attempt at a girl after the new year. I plan to eat healthy, skip breakfast when possible, limit meat.
I just have a few questions:
Does breastfeeding sway girl? I plan to nurse our son for as long as possible and into my next pregnancy if possible so dropping that isn’t really much of an option for me.
Also, I’m guessing here and trying to remember from before but losing weight is most important for sway and exercise? I didn’t exercise with last sway and plan to this time. I’ve been exercising since 5 weeks PP already.
Also, I don’t think I have PCOS but would like to get my carbs from healthy veggies. Is this still good for my sway if I’m losing weight? I don’t loose well when eating lots of white carbs.
Thank you in advance. I’m just hoping to tweak a few things this time as it’s our last chance.

Welcome back!
Yes breastfeeding sways pink. It's no magic potion but it certainly helps! Don't worry so much about trying to lose weight. Just focus on diet and exercise. If you do better eating whole grains/PCOS diet then stick with that. Really you could do everything the same you did last time and get a girl this time, you never know! I think doing the PCOS diet plus cardio is great so keep up the good work!
Good luck!

Stick with PCOS version of diet this time for sure. We are getting better results with it.
I also got a boy in a month I gained soem weight back. Others have gained some and still gotten girls of course
Yes I believe strongly that breastfeeding sways pink. It's not a guarantee but then again nothing is!
No, losing weight has not been that predictive of whose sways succeed and whose don't. Time on diet and exercise and one attempt hav ebeen best.
Yes yes yes like I said, stay on PCOS alt diet!!! veggies, fruit, whole grains, little to no white carbs

Thank you, atomic!
I’m excited to be back and try one last time for a girl. Do you have a link to the PCOS diet version? It’s been a while and I want to brush up and make sure I remember how to eat correctly.

I have one other question regarding exercise. My last sway I did the couch potato route so this time I want to make sure to do the exercise. But what is the best type of exercise to do or avoid? And how often?

Cardio is best for pink, avoid weightlifting. Exercising 4+ days a week for at least 60 minutes has gotten good results. For PCOS though even a moderate amount of cardio is good. It helps with blood sugar levels.

How many grams of protein should we be having at a meal? I don’t want to eat too many carbs and protein together and have blood sugars levels stay high for a long time.

Don't worry about mixing carbs and protein. That's for blue swayers, not pink. Just eat the foods that you want and need to eat at any given meal. The LE Diet takes care of all that stuff for you, your blood sugar WILL drop anyway because you're eating lower calories, higher carb, lower protein, and not snacking all day.

Ok so for the past month I really upped my cardio to 60+ minutes either running or stairclimber. Is this good cardio to do? Some days I will do stairclimber and then walk for 20 minutes though to up my time 60 stairs + walking. Is this intense enough exercise and not building muscle? I’m exercising 5 days a week right now but may try for 6 on weeks when I can.

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
