So happy that my appetite is getting back to normal. Hormones are so incredible! I'm fascinated by my body, EVERDAY! At what it's capable of, how it works, how it looks, the way it moves, the various functions...AMAZING! On another note, I used to suffer from pretty bad menstrual cramps and PMS and noticed that when I cleaned up my diet, the cramps were more bearable and the PMS less aggressive in the past year. For two cycles now I decided to do an"experiment." No sugars (except from an occasional piece of fruit) the week before my period. None, not even that chocolate that women crave so much before it comes. Not only did I not experience those cravings, but I didn't feel a single cramp or an imbalance of hormones. No PMS, no NOTHING. It came and went without any disturbances at all. I'm cured!!!! :)
P.S. I'm sure exercise, sleep, and tons of water drinking played their parts too!
