I'm also on day 3 of a Ketogenic Diet, so I'm excited to see how the seeds help in conjunction.

There is also information in one of the articles for men.

Have not heard of this - thanks for the links. I add seeds and nuts to a smoothie every day.

@mntngirl the neat thing is how the seeds can help boost hormones at different phases in your cycle.

So where you would ingest two types of seeds (raw & ground), for the first half of your cycle, you would avoid them in the next half; and then switch to use two other types.

1 tbsp. Flax and 1 tbsp. pumpkin seeds support estrogen (starting from menses to ovulation)

1 tbsp. Sesame and 1 tbsp. sunflower seeds support progesterone peaks (ovulation to menses)

*it is also recommended to take 1500mg of high quality fish oil.

The men's cycling is according to the moon cycles (I know, it gets a little esoteric up in here, but I'm all about it)

(Full moon to new moon)

1 tbsp. ground flax

1 tbsp. ground pumpkin seeds

(New moon to full moon)

1 tbsp. ground sesame

1 tbsp. ground sunflower

My friend who is a naturopath recommended this awhile ago. I never got around to trying it but maybe I will at the start of my next cycle.
