your weight loss sabortaged
Sonia Jones ND from the Haven Spa and Health Clinic
For a lot of women PMS (pre-menstrual syndrome) seems to be a big stumbling block to permanent weight-loss and health gain. All good intentions and even some well established healthy routines go out the window when their period is due.
You may be one of these women who suffer one or multiple symptoms. A few days before a period is due, you become bloated, get even more fluid retention, irritable, tired and anxious turning to foods full of processed fats, and/or refined carbohydrates like sugar, cookies, chocolate, or lots of bread, only to feel even more miserable as blood sugar levels yo-yo. Then the guilt and frustration sets in!
Generally, during this time women choose to eat more drug like foods, the very foods that make things worse
Here are 4 of the most common symptoms suffered before and during a period.
1) Anxiety can be due to imbalances between estrogen and progesterone, which become more pronounced during this time.
2) Depression can be due to a low thyroid function or to excess metals like lead, chlorine, arsenic, aluminum, fluoride etc. This program will help to eliminate them from your diet and body.
3) Cravings are so common at this time for some women, due to low blood sugar levels plus low levels of magnesium, chromium and so many other nutrients. For so many people ‘low blood sugar levels’ is a really big problem. Before and during a period the problem is magnified and all good intentions are sabotaged. Due to years of poor food choices your blood sugar levels keep you a prisoner.
4) Fluid retention can be due to high sodium, low potassium and magnesium levels, low levels of amino acids, or a toxic over-load. If you eat a lot of foods that are processed/manufactured they will contain much higher levels of salt (sodium) and extremely low levels of potassium and magnesium.
What do I mean by manufactured foods – biscuits, cakes, bread, cheese, crisps (chips), the average chocolate, canned products, roasted peanuts, bacon, deli meats, sauces, sports bars, or breakfast cereals etc.
