I read that article earlier today. I wonder if it was the same people that said you will have boys if you have sex standing up?

They've also found that the ratio of boys to girls is the same in countries where there is severe malnutrition. In any case given that its the sperm that determine the sex of a baby, the mothers diet can't influence what baby she conceives, although it could make a difference in whether an embryo survives.
