I think this is something Atomic has spoken about in her low-everything diet thread - that the simple carbs are a good idea because your blood sugar levels will be crashing shortly after each meal! I love carbs so I'm eating this way - today I had a sandwich at lunch time, pasta for dinner and I'll have a couple of pop tarts for supper!

Oh I read it wrong! I await other replies with interest :D

You might find this thread interesting:

Diabetics have more girls naturally, don't they??

Not all diabetics just the ones who have super high or super low blood sugar. the ones who have it under control tend to have boys (2 cuz and together they have 4 boys and 1 girl)

I have included a low glycemic diet for myself because I know I ate a lot of sugar type foods before and now I want it to stay low.

jjc3434 - that's really interesting! Would love to hear other people's thoughts on this!

I really think it depends on the person. For me I can't eat any refined carbs and even brown rice will cause me to get very sleepy after a meal and gaining a ton of weight. I haven't really been able to do the diet recommended here because of that. However, the diet that I have been on I believe has been lowering my testosterone and I can supplement Ca and Mg and avoid K and Na so I am hoping that will do the trick. I have been on this diet for a month now and lost 5 lbs (I am 5'1" and weigh 115). When I was in college I would eat the way that was described in the girl diet and even though I didn't eat a whole lot I couldn't lose any weight and I was about 30 lbs heavier than I am now.

I think everyone is different. For some reason I am sensitive to refined carbs and sugar (even fruit) so I tend to avoid it and feel much better and weigh less even though I eat more.

I am on metformin for pcos due to insulin resistance. I have high testosterone for this reason. My RE told me to cut back on the carbs to regulate my insulin (which is what the metformin helps me to do), which will affect my andriods, which in turn will lower my testosterone and I will be able to ovulate on my own, without the help of clomid. Based on what I just read in OP and what my RE told me it would make since to limit carbs to sway girl IF testosterone is a huge factor.
Atomic also told me that metformin will make my cm hostile, thus sway girl as well. Not sure if these tie together.
