that time of the month for us women
- Thread starter Emmajoyce

My first week involved this too, but thankfully I think because I was so determined to see the scales move I got through it, I made some sugar free jelly, and jus made sure I had chicken cooked and ready to pick at 
Keep focused and this will help you beat it, although I did not suffer from the cravings as much as I normally would, last week seen my next one and I only lost 1lb but this week I lost 3lb which I think is great considering I am so near target

Hello everyone. Help! Newbie here. Day 4 and I just started with a very heavy period after 2 yrs of none with the Mirena Coil. Anybody else experienced doolally periods on this way of eating?

Ditto on Mirena but 2nd time around... last month was BAD. This is a bit better so not sure if its diet-related at all.
I can sympathise Mrs Joyce - I had a rough PMS week last week and it hasn't improved hugely this week except that the cravings have dissipated for the most part. Its that plus the STS or gains that kills (and discourage!) me.

I have had a quick look on internet and there is a theory that it seems that the fat cells do not just store fat, fat-soluble hormones like oestrogen lurk in there too. So when they deflate the body is flooded with a higher level of oestrogen than it's used to. Hence the erratic periods etc.
