Dr. Potter,
How does a low carb diet effect quality. If there is a chromosome issue how could a low carb diet change that? Or does the low carb diet help eggs that have normal chromosomes survive to testing more efficiently?

Dr. Potter,

It helps quality by lowering insulin levels. I do not believe that it helps with aneuploidy rates though.Quote:

Good question, like to hear more about it!

And how many grams of carb is the goal?
Bump for Dr Potter, am interested to know.
Thanks.
I did extreme low carb under Dr Potter and got fantastic results. My quality massively improved. I did <20 g a day. Atkins induction. The key is to get your body into Ketosis. You can do urine dip sticks to see if you have ketones.
How did you know what to eat???? Any fav breakfasts, lunch or dinners?Quote:
