Applying the Rosedale dietary strategy to maximizing fertility
To maximize fertility, should a woman diligently maintain the Rosedale diet to maximize insulin, leptin, & mtor sensitivity; followed by a period of increased carbohydrates to metabolically signal abundance, so her body thinks it's time to get pregnant?

Dear Andy,
This is a very good question and we love the way your mind thinks through different options. Following your idea will raise leptin for a few hours, but then if you keep doing it it will cause leptin resistance, but unlikely that those few hours would be the tipping point for conception. Keeping leptin low to be more leptin sensitive, but not so low that they cannot conceive at all, so they must at least eat fat. However, it has never been studied and we wonder if during that prime moment every month when the temperature is right and the time of the month is perfect would carb loading for the vent make a difference? as it would only be a carb load maybe once or twice a month.. it is an interesting thought and not sure if it has been tried at all.

Thanks for your insights, Fiona!
It appears that at the very least, women wanting to optimize fertility must have both optimized leptin sensitivity & a healthy amount of body fat. The Rosedale diet (with ample dietary fat) combined with the avoidance of excessive exercise would achieve this.
