Paleo IF and TTC Boy

[BZ88]

Anyone have thoughts on doing Paleo and IF (intermittent fasting) and TTC boy. I thought there was a gal who fasted a couple days a week on here and was trying for a boy. The reason for the paleo is high nutrition and the reason for IF is for later age factor.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks!

I think paleo sways boy because of the high nutritional value and meat. You will lose weight on the paleo diet though, so keep that in mind, you will however get healthier (I try to eat paleo a smuch as possible, but I'm a vegetarian and am not swaying atm, I would def not eat this sway if I want to sway for a girl) Fasting would sway pink I guess, so would leave that out. But ask Atomic to be sure.

The fasting Increases HGH which is important for later moms. Not doing paleo to lose weight but for high nutritional status.

HI BZ!!! Haven't seen you around in so long, welcome back!

I think the paleo would sway boy. Fasting usually sways girl, the girl swayers are skipping breakfast in the morning.

Can you tell me where you found the IF for mature mommas info? I'm 41 myself and looking for ANYTHING that will help...

How long are you wanting to IF and what if anything will you be eating during that time?

Thanks for the welcome back. You and I are on the same road ttc as a later mom. I've read a lot of information regarding IF and how it may extend the fertile years via increase in insulin receptivity and hormone balance and HGH. The reason I'm thinking there's a valid point is I read an obscure study a long time ago which mentioned mice that were given a low caloric diet had increased fertile years. Now I get that some may think this sways girl however if this was combined with eating during the eating window of IF (8 hour window and a 16 hour window of fasting) a paleo diet rich with fats proteins and veggies this word sway boy. Also for as exercise to sway boy on top of this approach doing HIIT twice a week ( which this type of exercise had been shown to increase HGH as well). Thoughts anyone?

I wouldn't do IF for a boy.

Paleo is ok for a boy, but I like the Perfect Health Diet form of Paleo much better than the ones that cut out carbs all together. I have a modified form of the PHD that can be modified to improve odds of conception for blue or pink here in this thread (about 5 from the top, the "atomic fertility diet")http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...rt-3-pcos.html

If you're talking about fasting in an overnight sense then that is ok for blue. I would try to do more like 14/10 instead of 16/8 tho. Sorry I thought you meant the kinds where people fast for 1-2 days per week.

THe mouse study I read on VLC diets showed that they lived a long time but stopped having babies, not that they were infertile but just that they weren't coming into season. May be a different study but I would use the fasting supersparingly when TTC a boy.
