That's OK! Yes, it's a Shettles method thing, and it is a specific diet, although I am doing a general one because I can't find my Shettles book, nor can I find specific info online.
Fish is actually OK in the girl-baby diet, or at least certain kinds are. *shrug*
When I was fruitlessly searching for specifics on the web yesterday, I found a couple of studies done on cows and mice... when they were fed a high-calcium, high-magnesium, low-potassium diet (the one I'm vaguely trying to follow) they had 80-90% female babies. Weird, huh?
Honestly we don't care THAT much about the sex of the next baby, we'd much rather have a boy than none at all. It's kindof just for fun. And it's a good way to get myself motivated to be vegetarian again. I've gone through many veg phases in my life. Devout practitioners of my religion are vegetarian, actually, so they don't serve meat at their gatherings or in their facilities. Therefore, when I went to boarding school for high school and college, I ate no meat (at least on campus) and then I worked in an Adventist hospital or two, so the cafeterias were veg too. Yay!
Are you vegetarian for ethical reasons, or for health?
