Don't know if anyone else has noticed this amazing side effect of eating more, I doidnt even know I was getting TOM, as sually have about 4-5 hours of really bad cramps - but this month - nothing! :)

I feel so much stronger and fitter, and happier since eating more, my moods are so much more even too.

I don't know why I didn't do it a long time ago, but then I guess that is why the diet industry is worth so much - it makes money out of keeping people in that yo-yo cycle of misery! Down with diet pushers!
:)

    You're probably eating more foods high in magnesium and potassium.

    that is great. I am not due for Tom till my birthday. so I will have to see if that does it for me. I also get really bad cramps with Tom and have to take pamprin for it. if i can go without having to take anything my whole TOM I would be so pleased. I will have to make note to eat more potassium and magenism during TOM. thanks for the tip

    I have definitely noticed a difference. no more cramps for me and that makes me happy. Although I do know that I am retaining water longer. Stepped on the scale this morning and OMG.. cant wait to weigh again in a couple more days. whewwwwww!!

    For me my PMS vanished almost overnight! I'd been back and forth to the Docs with it and was almost at the point of trying somehthing hormonal and then I started this and off it went - HURRAH :happy:

    Isn't it all marvellous!!

    ever since eating More, I have no clue other than the calendar that my TOM is coming. No cramps, grumpiness or bumping into walls ( used to be such a klutz right before!).

    I sleep WAAAAY better now too!

    I think it's the hormone regulation that comes with healthy balanced eating and providing your body with enough calories.

    I just noticed that today when it started (so happy it will not be around on my b-day in 4 days) Yippee!! I also noticed it's way lighter I so love that and am happy not to have to take pamprin like I've had to before the whole time.
