Atkins and PMS

[FreshTressa]

It was that time of month this week, and usually I gain a cup size and about 4 or so pounds of water weight.

Well I have been on induction just over 2 weeks now, and my little friend came without ANY symptoms. I wasn't crabby, didn't bloat, didn't gain weight.

Anyone else experience this??

Well, I don't get by with NO symptoms but they are certainly less when I'm strictly low-carbing!

Unfortunately, I still get the cravings for chocolate & junky carbs and if I give in, I get all those symptoms back!

I was on it for 5 days when I got my period - no soreness no cybil like behavior - another reason to stay LOW CARB

Dang it. Do you mean to tell me that for all those years I suffered with endometriosis, all I needed to do was follow Atkins? It figures...I didn't start this WOE until I was well into menopause

Nope - I was still cranky, craving & crying. Maybe next month!

but if i give in and cheat it all comes back
