The Girl Diet.......

We have 3 handsome, perfect baby boys, who we love with all our hearts. In our eyes there couldn't be 3 cuter kids in this world then our baby boys.
But my husband and I are still wanting a daughter. I found a web page a while back during my 3rd pregnancy called In-Gender.com. It has all these different ways to sway for a boy, or girl. I figured I'd post the "girl diet". I got this off the In-Gender forums. Brad told me we will do what ever it takes to have our baby girl. Of course the natural way, none of the High tech stuff that you have to pay for.
So, I am going to start this girl diet thing, and do it for a while. We aren't planning on having another baby for a while, but I figured I'd get used to that type of diet. Maybe it will work if I'm on it for a long time. It will be hard to get used to. Take a look:

UNDERSTANDING YOUR DIET
It is important that you understand the principles which form the basis of this diet. Essentially it requires you to eat foods that are rich in calcium & magnesium but low in potassium & sodium. This must be strictly adhered to if you are to gain maximum benefit from it.
Why are these restrictions necessary?
Tea,Coffee & Alcohol
Each cup of tea or coffee causes you to lose calcium from your body. Alcohol with its diuretic effect also causes the kidneys to excrete more calcium than they would normally
Chocolate: This is very high in potassium & contains oxalate's which bind with calcium & make it unusable
Wheat Bran: This contains phytates which also rob the body of calcium. For eg., for every 100g of bran that is eaten the body loses 350 mg calcium
Meat: Restricted because of its high protein content. If you eat more than 120g protein a day you begin to enter a dietary range where the protein will cause calcium loss.
Sugar: Heavy intake of sugar will cause you to lose calcium through excess excretion. It is recommended that you keep your sugar intake to less than 60 g per day
Important Facts To Note
Always drink 8-10 glasses of water per day. It is important to drink this amount as it will help the body to dissolve & to absorb the increased calcium that is being taken in, whether from food or supplements. Calcium cannot be absorbed well or excreted safely without water.
Do not attempt this diet if you suffer from poor kidney function .This could result in kidney stones due to the increased calcium intake.
Commence the diet & mineral supplements 6 -10 weeks before a planned conception.
It must be stressed that the diet should only be undertaken with careful medical or naturopath supervision. It is recommended to have a check up before starting & to continue regular check ups whilst on the diet to ensure that excessive electrolyte imbalance is avoided.
This diet was extracted from "the girl diet", an e-book purchased from Sue Roebuck, a natural fertility naturopath in Australia.

Well, thats it. I don't know how true any of it is. All I know is I plan on trying it. I've got nothing to lose. It sounds pretty healthy really. The hardest part will be cutting out sodium, and sugar. I sugar everything, and I mean everything down! My husband yells at me for it. Caffeine isn't a problem, since I already have no caffeine.
