High protein diet - which way would this sway?

MountainViews:

I have read that high protein and high fat sways boy and cutting calories/fat/protein sways girl.  Have other ladies read or heard the same?

That's what I've heard, too!

 Agree with PPs - boy.

 I was Atkin's dieting when I conceived my last 2 girls.  Dieting, from what I've heard = girl.  High protein may sway boy, I don't know, but losing weight does not.

That's very interesting, Norma...my sister was on Atkins when she conceived her first child a DD. She did undergo fertility treatments, but she had them with all 3 of her kids and her last 2 have been boys - but she wasn't doing Atkins when she conceived them.

Something to think about!

I think doing Atkins is a bit like not swaying at all ... you sway girl 50% (loosing weight, low calories), but you also sway boy 50% (high protein) ;)

 Something to think about...I am doing Atkins to lose a few last pounds...not really eating the high protein, but it is in there of course. I am really cut calories because there isn't much to eat LOL I don't snack but I drink lots....Now on top of that to adjust for the Girl diet is the biggie...eating what is required on that as well as Atkins will be the challenge..I plan on vinegar douching to help if need be....BUT Extra gum always increases acidity in me to the point that I can't chew it for weeks it gets so bad...no coffee either at that point it tears me up. This could be a good thing for girl swaying. Never thought of it until now TTC a girl. we will see this month.

i think Atkins must raise your testosterone like crazy which sways boy

Nini - I just noticed another blue bear on your signature.  Did you have and ultrasound and found out you are having a boy?  I haven't seen an update on your sway but maybe I missed it.  I thought you had a great sway, I have it saved in my best attempts document.  I know you were going for a girl but congrats on the baby boy.  Three boys is crazy but lots of fun!

well, just waiting for my 16 week scan to update, but its definitely a boy based on nub and potty shots at 12 and 13 weeks. I feel really happy now ;) My eldest will be 11 so its BGB in a row, which is lovely ;) Right now my dd is the one with the temper, my boys are so soft in comparison ;)
