Cycles, Carbs, Curiosity
I've been low carbing for over a year. I only have one problem with my low carbing and that's my cycle (TOM). I would skip a month or two and be very moody. My doctor suggested to me that I eat more carbs for it could be why I'm not regular (at all!).
So with careful journal tracking for a month I was low carb and on week 3 I had two days of eating about 40-50g of carbs (no sugar, no caffeine). And for two months my cycle was on target but was um.. light. So my doctor added carbs at the beginning of week 2 (Same like before) basically when I am to ovulate.
And sure enough, my cycles became regular again. In a nutshell, I would have 2 moderate carb days at the beginning of week 2
and 2 moderate carb days at the end of week 3.
Isn't this odd? Not only has my cycles become regular but I lost 18 lbs since July 1st.
Has anyone else had similar results?
