I am all confused about the type of cereal to be consumed while ttc boy. Almost all cereals except rice crispies have lots of calciu,m and magnesium in them. In the studies also they have not published about the type of cereal eaten by the women who conceived boys. which brand you all have kelloggs / nestle what??
Please help!!!!!!
Hello wantason, which country are you in? I think the best cereals are the wheat based ones, so wheaties, shredded wheat, weetabix plus things like muesli and porridge/oatmeal.
If you read around the site you'll find that a few us swaying blue aren't doing the no calcium, magnesium option as there are more studies showing that they actually help with ttc blue!!! Hopefully someone with a few more suggestions will be along soon x
I eat high protein and high nutrient cereals like Kashi....but of course, I haven't gotten a boy.....YET!
When I TTC DS 3 I ate massive bowls of Wheaties with milk every night. And 1/2 cup magnesium-packed nuts for breakfast every morning. I'm not a big believer in the no calcium = blue idea because it's never worked for me and there is a very good study (the breakfast cereal one) that found moms of boys ate more nutrients across the board (including calcium). That having been said I TOTALLY understand wanting to hedge one's bets and avoid calcium/magnesium.
Rice Krispies/corn flakes/sugary cereals I do not think are good for blue regardless of their mineral content, because they are digested superfast, make your blood sugar rise sky high and then plummet. For blue you want nice even blood sugar that NEVER gets low.
I think oatmeal is best for blue because there is a chemical in oatmeal that helps raise testosterone. Yes, oatmeal does have some calcium and quite a lot of magnesium however, and it also has no sodium (but it can be added.) Shredded Wheat is very low in both calcium and magnesium and high in protein so a good choice, but has no sodium. Wheaties are also good because they are digested more slowly than other cereals and have a lot of salt, though they have some calcium and quite a bit of magnesium.
I have been having rice bubbles with this sway.
They are fine IF you have some protein along with them to slow down the digestion of the carbs.Quote:
