I understand this is to keep blood sugars low, but is this important mainly around the time if attempt and ovulation in that it should be low at the time if fertilisation, or is it important the whole month and our bodies react to the overall picture ready for ovulation time?
In the same way, is it terrible to have snacked around ovulation time and our blood levels to be stable at the time of conception, or would the overall picture of the months override this?
Overall pictute matters most.
It is the overall that matters and NOT just around ovulation. In fact it is very likely normal to eat a bit more around ovulation regardless of the gender baby you conceive - it is nature's way of making sure you have enough cals to pop out that egg.
I think there is some mechanism that takes note of whether you have mostly low blood sugar and then "helps" you conceive the gender of baby that has the best shot of survival.
Think about it this way - if you don't have enough cals for a boy to survive and thrive for 2-3 months before you get pregnant, would it make any sense for your body to ignore all that and allow a day's meals (even if at ovulation) to overrule that? No, of course not. All this swaying stuff is just trying to convince our bodies about which gender has the best chances of surviving to adulthood, competing for mates, and successfully passing down genes to future generations.
