Products we LOVE for TTC Pink

Nice! I LIKE that idea lindi!

Plus it has FIBER! And the calcium, by virtue of being added in a supplementary way, may be "better" for swaying purposes than calcium in dairy.

whats the deal with fiber and ttc a girl? i think i missed that some where?

[lindi]

it carries away cholesterol (lowering testosterone. High testosterone sways blue)

and helps with constipation (typical on a girl diet from refined carbs) A lack of dietary fiber slows down the binding of estrogen by fiber in the intestinal tract where the liver has sent the inactivated estrogen. High animal fat intake stimulates the growth of bacteria that can act on estrogen so it gets reabsorbed into the body. These animal fats also increase the production of Prostaglandin F 2, which decreases the amount of progesterone made in the ovary. (HIgh progesterone sways girl)

(The increased ability to deactivate and eliminate excess estrogen explains why women on high fiber vegetarian diets have much less PMS and less breast cancer than women on low fiber high animal fat diets.)

excess estrogen sways blue.

what what should we be taking or eating for fiber?

[atomic sagebrush]

They have fiber capsules in health food stores that you can buy - like Benefiber, Chitoslim, even Metamucil has capsules now instead of that gross drink. Make sure that the kind you get is not fortified with other vitamins because some of them are.

You can also get fiber from cucumbers, apples with the skin cut off, iceberg lettuce.

how much should i be taking?

[lindi]

I take the recommended dose on the bottle- 4 capsules.

[atomic sagebrush]

I think the dosages are different depending on what brand you get, so I would just take the normal amount as listed on the bottle.
