(That is, it is not a commitee, isn't made up of physicians, and doesn't give a damn about responsible medicine. It's a front for a vegtetarian activist group.) http://www.consumerfreedom.com/activ....cfm?ORG_ID=23 About half way down the page you'll find what the AMA has to say about PCRM. Oh, and Dr. Barnard, who founded the 'committee', is a psychiatrist. "In a study conducted by Barnard". I'd like to see the actual study. revek used to be afflicted with severe PMS. Used to be. Hehe. Maybe we should take a poll. I will say that my own mood is basically better, but in ways I feel sort-of PMS-y/perimenopaus-y. Eeeek. Now I remember that I had a dream that I was in early stage Alzheimer's, which frequently brings mood changes. Ack! -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |

Dr. Barnard (good buddy of Dr. Ornish) is doing his best to sell his new book! I KNEW I recognized the name. Haven't looked at Ornish lately, so I wonder whether he has at least recognized that there are good fats and that it is not good to have an extremely LF WOE. -- Jean B., 12 miles west of Boston, Massachusetts, USA |

Atkins Diet Makes PMS Worse?
I might be the exception to the rule, but my PMS is not better. I had heard
all these great stories from ladies that said their breast tenderness had gone away, the moodiness was gone and the cramps were almost nothing. Since starting low carbing last November, my breast tenderness is about the same, sometimes worse, the moodiness is gone, I have no energy for at least a week right before it hits, and the cramps now last two days instead of one. I eat ibuprofin like it's candy. On the plus side, the period itself lasts only 4 days instead of 7-10 days :-) I've bought some extra supplements that I've researched about, (progestrone cream, chasteberry, and dong quai) and I'm going to experiment with them next month to see if they'll help the symptoms. ~Carrie 185/141/130 miette wrote in 1: Jim Marnott wrote in : http://tinyurl.com/ot90 *rolls eyes* I wonder why my PMS is virtually gone and has been for quite some time. I never have to pop painkillers for menstrual cramps, either. I don't intend on ever going back to those painful days. Ouch. Anyhow, he's a vegan. If he wants to eat his eggless cupcake, more power to him. ~miette |

God no. When I'm low carbing I have NO PMS symptoms. -Sharon Me, neither. Not only that, my periods are shorter, and the time between them is longer.
