A diet of acidic foods and lots of calcium and magnesium is recommended to help sway the odds in favour of conceiving a girl. These include:

Dairy products such as cheese, milk, yogurt

Eggs

Rice

Pasta

Fresh fruits in particular grapefruit, apples, plums, prunes and cranberries

Carrots, beans and corn

Fish

There are certain foods that need to be avoided if you are wanting to try and sway the odds in favour of conceiving a girl with diet. These are the foods that will create a more alkaline environment.

One of the main things to remember is to steeraway from salty foods. Others include:

Most fruit and vegetables, particularly bananas because of the high levels of potassium, potatoes, watermelon and spinach

Most nuts, in particular almonds

Tea and coffee

Orange juice

The girl diet is a lot harder than the boy diet. Having to stay away from coffee and tea can be difficult as many Moms (me included) rely on their caffiene fix. I have taken to drinking Tea now, one a day. A case of dunking the tea bag in and out! It doesnt look much like Tea but tastes OK. My hubby has cut down on coffee as too much coffee in either the man or woman can play a part in reducing the chances of getting pregnant altogether.

An alkaline based diet will make a male friendly sperm environment. The alkaline diet includes foods such as:

Meat - bacon, ham, sausages

Fish

White bread and pastries

Soups

Carbonated drinks

Processed foods

Salty foods

Go bananas, with bananas - these have a high levek of potassium which makes an excellent male friendly environment.

There are certain foods that are best avoided when wanting to sway the odds towards conceiving a boy, these are foods with a high PH level. Such as:

Dairy products such as cheese, milk and yogurt

Most fruits

Most meats

corn

I personally would not reccommend cutting out fruit all together as this is part of a healthy diet. An idea would be to cut back on fruit and replace it with vegetables.

Unfortunately, it's not as easy as eating a few bananas for a couple of days or drinking a couple of milkshakes.

The baby gender diet needs to be followed for at least 6 weeks prior to trying to conceive. This is how long it will take to change the PH level to being more acidic or alkaline.

If you are choosing to follow the Baby Gender Diet then you will need to continue with the diet until you are pregnant.
