It gets better. Your body is still adjusting, and IMHO I do think the carby foods are part of it as well. Going off plan with a sugary or starchy treat makes me feel like crud anyway, couple it with PMS, and LOOK OUT!

I haven't consciously upped my carbs during PMS. Personally, I'm afraid that would set me off with worse cravings than ever. I do find, though, that my appetite increases and I tend to overdo on "legal" things.

All I know for sure is it did seem my PMS was worse when I first started, but has returned to pretty close to normal.

You may want to check the supplements area of the forum and see if they have any advice for supplements that could help.
