Ladies only!
Something curious but absolutely welcome -- I assume this is a "side effect" of LDL. My cycle started today, right on schedule. However, I had NONE -- let me repeat that, NONE -- of the normal PMS symptoms. No cramps, no backache, no crabbiness, no sore breasts, nothing. I thought maybe it was going to be delayed, but nope. Amazing.

Re: Ladies only!
My cycles are much less painful on LDL for sure. I still have the monthly "Give me chocolate or get out of my way" thing every month though. But, the golden raisins and roasted soynuts kills that craving dead.

Re: Ladies only!
On the rare occasions that I wasn't eating sugar, I would also get a surprise. It was great. Now I get a surprise about every 11 months. LOL. Not the kind of surprise I want, though.
Congratulations.
Congratulations.

Re: Ladies only!
Brand new here, altho I have been eating LDL for the past 3 weeks (and amazed to see the scales dropping). Love the message boards!
Since this is a woman's issue, I'm tagging it along under this previous discussion.
My latest period started the second week into my LDL journey--all was fine and well, other than it did not quit. After 2 weeks of this, I saw my OB/GYN yesterday. Triple whammy of bcp's to get it stopped.
My question is, is this coincidental? Just a fluke? I picked up a copy of Dr. John R Lee's What your Doctor May not tell you about Menopause[i][/i] and in scanning the book, this sentence jumped out at me:In an article titled "Oestrogen Overdose by Gail Vines in British Voge, Lyliane Rosetta, physiologist at the Universite' Rene' Descartes in Paris, found that estrogen and progesterone levels fell in women who switched to a low-fat, high-fiber, plant-based diet with more legumes....It would be very intersting to test hormone levels in women on a high-protein, high-vegetable, low-carbohydrate, and low-sugar diet
I'm 45, rather "irregular"; this diet change has not been all that drastic since I was eating beans/veggies and not a lot of sugar already. Wheat products are essentially what I've cut out, plus adding way more fruit to my diet.
Perhaps, I'm barking up the wrong tree and my need for answers isn't justified?
I'd be grateful to hear any discussion if you care to share such personal issues.

i really would say it's coincidental....as you said, your diet change is not that dramatic because you were essentially following the same diet.......if you were someone who ate a lot of protein and fat that would be another story.....NOT to mention that you've only been doing this a short time...diet changes and nutritional supplements tend to take a longer period of time to affect your body....
either way, i believe that high fat/protein diets are SO unhealthy for the human body..there might be a question as to why there are different communities of people in the world that are way healthier than americans...but, one thing is certain...americans eat more fat,protein and processed foods and are the unhealthiest people on the planet....and, with obesity gaining in numbers as a cause of death, we are literally eating ourselves to death........
life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...it's about learning to dance in the rain..

Re: Ladies only!
AH HA HA HA! I LOVE IT!approachin that MENTALpause state
Hi Capri! Mary is right, I had a horrendous few years before starting Let's Do Lunch. There were only 2-3 days of every month that I wasn't bleeding and passing clots the size of tennis balls. GYN said it was just heralding the onset of ...duhn duhn DUHN... the BIG "M". I don't know whether those terrible symptoms subsided because of menopause (I still have a period every 6 months or so) or because of LDL, or a combination of both.
I tend to believe the research is correct, Pearl, but that's just me. Welcome to the nonstop world of the never ending quest for knowledge of answers to unanswerable questions! All I know for sure, is that Let's Do Lunch and the healing power of the Lord are directly responsible for my return to vigorous good health.

Niki, you are so right. When I was in S.A. we walked to the market everyday to buy everything we needed to prepare our meals. They didn't have the convenience of a refrigerator like we have in this country. They had an ice box but everything had to be used that day.
Maybe that was a good thing...I weighed 103 lbs dripping wet.

Re: Ladies only!
eeks...thanks for your reply, Little Mary.
those bpc's don't seem to be doing too much at the moment just making me horridly nauseated and headachy.
oh well.
I have a follow up in a couple of weeks.
Meanwhile, there's LDL and I'm hooked!!!

Re: Ladies only!
Hey Scrapper,
I have nothing to add to this except WELCOME TO LDL!
I am so excited when someone new starts posting! It's like getting a new member of the family. I am so glad you are loving LDL. It will make your body as happy as it can be. So Keep it up and we hope to hear of your successes real soon.
I hope your other issue gets righted really soon! ;)

Re: Ladies only!
Hi Scrapper, I am 59. I went through Menopause way before LDL. I was 40 and was in Nursing school. I tried the BCP's which made me sick and did not help stop the bleeding. I did a lot of research and ended up using progesterone cream. This seemed to do the trip. Or at least after a while the bleeding stopped and I did nothing else.You might check with your GYN and see what they think. Do some research of your own also.
Welcome to LDL the best WOE. The most healthy WOE! Yeah,
