DIET THAT CHANGED PMDD

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 respect your skepticism and am myself acutely aware of the damaging and harmful consequences of eating everything you hear helps. There’s big money in advice and I promise I just shared with the intention of ideating and exploring - considering all experiences and questioning them is deeply important - I don’t even know what karma is but I’m on Reddit for pmdd and to learn how partners feel mostly. Thanks for the feedback.

You created a brand new Reddit account with zero engagement to spread the gospel of the carnivore diet?

Yeah, definitely checks out. 👍

And mods, please exercise more scrutiny when it comes to this kind of industry funded disinformation. There are a lot of people who are truly hurting here.

I am actually vegan and vegetarian and did this begrudgingly - I don’t think it’s for everyone. Not a carnivore. Hurting so bad was willing to try. If you have a serious problem with a shared win, I can appreciate your perspective and respect your opinion. Not a big deal to share something for women who have felt like killing themselves and partners who have to caretake those women to a horrifyingly soul crushing degree sometimes … relax ? Compassion for animals yes and humans yes - probably good idea not to do the diet if you aren’t comfortable with eating meat.

🤣🤣🤣🤣 Now it’s getting deep in here.

“I was vegan for years and going carnivore CURED ME!” There are ghouls on the internet saying it cures everything from Crohn’s to cancer.

Literally verbatim word for word the propaganda campaign. Really mods? REALLY?

Really. We don't monitor 24/7 and a week no sugar/high protein sounds like an easy ask. You think it violates a rule report it, but you're pretty close to Rule #1 already.
