I'm beginning to get asked this question a lot as people begin to realize that there are some non technical ways that couples can influence their baby's gender at home.
Yes, what you eat can definitely be one of the things that determines whether you conceive a girl or a boy baby, although it's not the only thing to consider.
I will discuss this more in the following article.
Foods And Calorie Consumptions Can Make A Difference In Baby Gender: There are some indications that women who consume at least 2500 calories per day and who eat more cereals, grains, and breakfast foods are more likely to conceive sons.
However, the actual numbers on this show so small of an advantage that although loading up on cereals can't hurt, this alone will probably not be enough to get you a boy, unless you're very lucky in other areas.
And, it's not advisable to use this study as justification for dieting if you want a girl.
In order to be able to get pregnant and support a healthy pregnancy, you are going to need to take in enough calories to make this happen.
So, while calorie consumption might have slight implications as to gender, the numbers are so slight that in my opinion, you're better off focusing on what you eat rather than on how much of it you are eating, which leads me to my next point.
Why It's Important To Determine Which Foods Help With Acidity And Which Make You More Alkaline (Depending On Whether You Want A Boy Or A Girl): As I said, how much you eat and how many calories you take in are (at least in my opinion) not as important as whether the foods you are eating are metabolized as alkaline or acidic.
There's a reason that this is important.
An alkaline reproductive tract makes conceiving a boy more likely while an acidic reproductive tract is very difficult for the navigation of Y or boy producing sperm (which make this better for couples who want to conceive a girl.
) So now that we know that you want to be acidic if you're wanting to conceive a girl and alkaline if you're wanting to conceive a boy, let's discuss which foods are likely to make this happen.
If you want to be alkaline, then you'll want to steer clear of most meat and dairy as well as high acid fruits and vegetables like corn and cranberries.
The foods that you'll want to eat more of are most fruits and vegetables, particularly lemons, cucumbers, green beans, peas, cauliflower, asparagus, and kale.
Most nuts are also alkaline / neutral, including almonds, flax, and sesame seeds.
As I alluded to, most meats and dairy will read as acidic.
So if you want a girl, these are going to be fine.
Eggs are in this category also, as are most processed and fast foods.
You'll want to avoid, at least for a while, most fruits and vegetables (which are alkaline,) but there are some that are acidic which would be OK.
These include bananas, figs, watermelon, oranges and orange juice, and watermelon.
And although I said that most nuts were alkaline, peanuts are not.
Of course, it's never a good idea to exclude a certain category of foods from your diet from very long.
It's always advisable to resume a more balanced diet once you reach the levels where you need to be.
You can test yourself using PH litmus strips.
Once you're where you want to be, you then only need to maintain your levels.
Continuing to test daily can show you how you react to certain foods and when you need to tweak things a little more.
So, the short answer to the question is that yes, the foods you eat can affect your baby's gender.
But diet alone may not be enough, which is why I also advocate focusing equally on your timing and the sexual positions that you use when you are attempting to conceive.
