I don't know for sure, but my own dietary expliots seem to have stopped "night sweats" for me. I don't think mine were what you call hot flashes though.
Asian women, it is said, do not get hot flashes. Some people attribute this to soy, but I basically think the Asian diet makes the whole metabolism work differently, in somewhat the same way Fast-5 does. I basically am doing both: my diet is more Asian than American, and that jump-started my weight loss again. (I don't do soy much though, so I don't think soy is the issue. Soy doesn't have much effect on me one way or the other).
The thing about "carbs" though is that there are a whole lot of issues with them, besides the "carbs". For instance:
Potatoes: Contain solanine, which is basically a toxin. Some people handle it better than others.
Wheat: About 1/4 of the population has an immune reaction to it, some worse than others.
Packaged bread/cookies: Contain a ton of additives, all of which have effects. In the US, iron is added, and the added iron might have something to do with hot flashes.
Fruit: contains a fair bit of Vitamin C, which causes iron to be absorbed better (again, may affect hot flashes). Fruit also contains fructose, which is not handled well by a surprisingly large number of people.
I'm not on a low carb diet, but most of my carbs come from non-enriched white rice, honey, or fruit (but I don't eat fruit with meat). This works nicely. I don't know why honey would work better than sugar, but it seems to. Plus it tastes better.

Hi gys
Im on f5 for about 9 months or so.I started lowcarb high fat last sunday
because I just wanted to try it.I was curious how this works for me.
And now all my hotflashes just vanished!?
Well, I never expected this and now I wonder if it will last or if this
is just momentary.
Anyone out there got a clue?
I do love the lowcarb highfat food and I stay on it to see whats happening.
Lots of greetings from Switzerland
