* Can I Eat Fish With Low Carb Snacks?

The advice on fish is often quite confusing. Fish is a very good food to eat especially for low carb snacks and fertility, it’s low in saturated fat and a good source of protein, iodine and selenium. However, all fish are affected to some degree by the pollutants in rivers, lakes and oceans but oily fish more so, because of these chemicals – PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), dioxins – and heavy metals like mercury, concentrate in the fatty parts of fish like tuna, salmon, mackerel, sardines, marlin, swordfish and shark.

Some other fish are also affected like sea bream, sea bass, turbot, halibut, rock salmon (aka dogfish) and brown crab. Canned tuna is not counted as a good source of oily fish because the canning process removes most of the omega 3 fats, but it is lower in mercury than fresh tuna. It’s okay to eat low carb snacks such as this a few times a week, and intensively farmed salmon is also low in omega 3 because they are fed diets high in omega 6, not their usual low carb snacks or omega 3-rich plankton, and wild salmon is also becoming extinct.

Go here to see exactly what you can eat as low carb snacks. Don’t eat shark, swordfish or marlin.. apart from these, we would advise that one portion from the above list is fine, tuna (one fresh, one tinned or two tinned) a week is fine, and otherwise well farmed, sustainable white fish and shell fish two to four times a week.

* What About Dairy?

We recommend a moderate intake of dairy foods as long as you have no known intolerance’s. Many women cut all dairy from their diet, thereby depleting the body of valuable protein, calcium, riboflavin and iodine. Of course, if you are lactose intolerant you need to avoid dairy foods, although many people tolerate goat’s milk, buffalo mozzarella and live yogurt. Low-fat products of any kind are not great for fertility as, to take fat out, something else has to go in its place and full-fat dairy products contain important vitamins like vitamin D that are only absorbed with fat.

A lot of the new information on dietary changes has originated from a leading Nurses’ Health Study. This is a huge study of 238,000 nurse participants, which investigates factors influencing general health. The prime focus of the study is cancer prevention, but it has also produced many invaluable insights into diet and low carb snacks, physical activity and other lifestyle factors that promote improved health.

* What about Low Carb Snacks and Pregnancy.

Some research has suggested that consuming soya is detrimental to fertility. However, in many cultures soya is a staple food and any levels of infertility are no higher than our own. The research was conducted in-vitro, and also on animals who consumed nothing but soya. In a normal mixed diet, including a small amount of soaked or fermented soya like tofu, three to four times a week is helpful especially for vegetarians, as soya provides protein, calcium and some iron. Ensure it is organic and GM free.
