Eliminate sugar = Eliminate PMT

I suffer from incredibly bad PMT, my doctors even suspect it may be PMDD.
Monday it started but I can't believe the difference not having sugar has made. It's stunned me...previous months of PMT have left me feeling:
depressed
insecure
low self esteem
angry
irritable
shortness of breath
crying
unable to focus
extremely tired with heavy legs
stressed
no patience
visual distortions
confused
mood swings
clumsiness
binge eating
feeling lost and alone

.....and a few more symptoms that just make that one week unbearable.
I've been known to eat half a box of crunchy nut or a whole pack of biscuits post-menstrual.

I really think it has got to be thanks to the sugar but this month I've only had the following symptoms:
unable to focus
heavy legs occassionally
slightly less patience

!!! That's it! I'm overjoyed. This is coming from someone who has taken various medications for it such as calcium, magnesium, 5htp etc.
Now I have been taking evening primrose oil, spirulina, vitamin b&d for a while now so I don't think it's anything to do with those, as I took them before but still felt awful.
I'd recommend to anyone who suffers from PMT or PMDD to eliminate sugar completely from their diet. The results are amazing. I feel normal!

I'm also finding it easier to sleep from cutting out sugar, plus I've not had any lower back/fingers/toes pain.
I'm in love with natural yoghurt with honey or maple syrup drizzled over with fruit...soo soo good! The yoghurt is doing wonders for my skin and hair.

PS. I've been avoiding wheat too and my stomach looks flatter than it has in ages for it! Try it!
