Wow never thought about it being related to PMS. It does make some sense since it's every 4 - 6 weeks. Although I don't think TOM is due for another week or so. Guess I'll see what happens.

But Ok, if it IS related to PMS, how can I fix and prevent this? This is screwing me big time. I'll never lose weight this way. I know I can eat more carbs, but won't that throw me out of ketosis and result in yo-yo ing? There is no way more vegetables will give me an energy boost. I need a sugar high to get through it. Today I ate cookies and drank chocolate milk

I was thinking of buying the Atkins Advantage bars for when I feel like this, but I think they stall me and I've heard a lot of horror stories with the "fake foods" So I don't really want to trust it.

I don't think doing good for 3 weeks and then eating Atkins bars will be any better for me then the cookies I ate today.
