My Experience
Hi Michelle,
Before LC-ing I rarely ever had any effects from TOM. Now (after 6 months of LC-ing) I find that I have a lot of water retention and some cramps and headaches every month. The weight gain is very temporary for me, all water weight.
Personally, I think that the increased symptoms are very much worth it. I kind of chalk it up to my body being much more responsive in general to all sorts of things than it used to be when I was a heavy carb-eater. I feel much more in touch with almost all aspects of my body now and even though that doesn't always feel great (when I'm a little dehydrated, etc.), I really feel it is better for me in the long run.
