Conceiving Baby Boy With Boy Diet

E-mail Print PDF
Conceive baby boy by changing your diet before you conceive, and maintaining a certain kind of diet during your pregnancy!Sounds like one of those outlandish old wives' tales?Not quite!
Scientists now seem to agree that there is a possible link between what you eat and which gender you’ll conceive.

Pregnant women on high calorie diet are more likely to have a baby boy!
Also, eating food rich in nutrients such as potassium and calcium, and vitamins C, D and B12 – seems to upper your chance of conceiving a baby boy!

Where those conclusions came from? Actually, it’s from a new research done at the universities of Exeter and Oxford. The scientists examined the diets of a large number of first-time mothers and found that those who ate a higher number of calories were more likely to conceive with a boy!

Among women with the highest calorie intake before pregnancy - 56 percent had boys.

Women who had boys also ate an additional 300 mg of potassium daily!

Don’t you have an urge now to go and eat a banana?:)

It has been speculated for the last 30 years in the scientistic world that the diet of a mother could predict the gender of a baby. There has been enough evidence that diet in mammals can affect the sex of their offspring. Namely, a lot of mammals when well fed produce more boys, while in starvation situation there are more girls than boys being born.

Seems like there are more nutrients needed to conceive a boy rather than a girl… In any case: now you have one more reason not to skip breakfast!:) Especially when you hear this next piece of statistics:
Eat at least one bowl of breakfast cereal daily and you will have a 87 percent more chance that you’ll conceive a baby boy!

So, treat yourself with an additional serving of steak with potatoes and have a piece of cake:)

But… don’t overdo it! Never forget that proper nutrition is essentially important for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
Whatever gender that baby will be!

I did not eat any differently when I conceived my two children. I have a boy and a girl. This seems like silly nonsense to me.

We followed the boy diet. I am now 7 weeks pregnant and CAN'T wait to find out the gender. I was on the boy gender diet: www.boygirldiet.com. I really, really hope this baby is a boy, but of course healthy is the most important.

I have been reading all of these blogs about trying to concieve a girl. I understand having a preference but what happened to just being happy to be pregnant. Not having sex on the days you think you may concieve a boy is crazy, you may miss you window of opportunity and not concieve at all. Maybe I feel this way because my husband and I have been trying for so long. I was finally pregnant in August and lost the baby to misscarriage 2 months later. I would be happy to have any child as long as it was healthy. I wish you all the best of luck and hope that you will not be disappointed but grateful if you have a little boy.
