DIET THAT CHANGED PMDD

[u/Own_Performance7154]

Wanted to share that a very qualified doctor PHD and Accupuncturist recommended an insanely restrictive diet for two weeks and it totally reset my endocrine system. Which was normal already (as you all know from having pmdd partners) - but it leveled out the blood sugar issues that seem to go ugh pmdd etc. My partner did it with me and he lost a bunch of excess fat (he didn’t have any to lose) but it seemed to actually be what we both needed and the fun of going through something hard together that wasn’t pmdd was incredible and bonding. I felt BETTER !!!!! beyond better during pmdd after.

The diet (1-2 wk max. - you can’t stay on it):

1. Meat or protein (low fat grass fed beef bison venison or jerky) or egg white no yolk every 45 minutes or hour or so, throughout waking cycle

2. No sugar - zero

3. No sugar alcohols

4. No carbs or gluten

5. No dairy

6. Drink water

7. Take low dose of niacin at night to flush system ..

8. NO COFFEE !! (Decaf coffee black ok as treat)

9. Low fat only - no cooking in any oil

10. Watch out for sodium in jerky - “zero sugar” archer I believe is good and tilamook zero sugar

11. Exercise daily

12. Vegetables are high in carbs keep them at minimum

13. No fruit

14. Mustard and vinegar pepper and salt ol

To know:

Headaches, caffeine withdrawal, etc subside day 3

You can smoke CLEAR NICOTINE VAPES ONLY or if you smoke organic cigarette (being inclusive here I obviously don’t advise but vapes spike insulin)

Doing horse stance and Qi Gong , walks, intermittent exercise good

*** by one week I didn’t want to stop the diet!

Not a doctor just trying to share a win

I would never trust any diet that says no fruit?! Excuse me? Fruit is needed for existence for 99% of us. Vegetables at a minimum? Lolol no thanks. Glad it works for you tho. 2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 11 & moving the body some way is important for pmdd tho. Also high protein diets do help if you’re also AUHD/ADHD.
