I'm more than 2 weeks late on my period! And very confused by it. I know for sure I'm not preggers, but I have had bouts of pms throughout these past two weeks and just want to get the whole deal over with! I started the Whole30 July 22nd and am still going strong. Before starting Whole30 I was "basically Paleo" for about a year and a half, so I don't feel like my eating habits have changed that much during Whole30...at least compared to lots of people. Maybe I am eating more fat and having more square meals. And the main things that I ate sometimes were dairy and sugar. Could those have such a huge affect on things? It's pretty frustrating, especially when I never know what to contribute to pms or not. Have I been having random feelings of pms throughout the past 2 weeks or am I just tired sometimes and consequently less able to control my cravings?
Also, I used to have a pretty regular period that lasted 2-3 days (I know I'm lucky in that sense). However, since eating a more Paleo diet I feel like my pms has gotten a little worse. That could also just be being more in tune with things.
Anyway, I just wanted to get some feedback and vent out my frustrations to some folks who might understand. Thanks for reading my rant
And I will definitely be having sweet potatoes for dinner tonight.
I'm really glad to have read your post-- I was hoping to find someone like me who has been "pretty much Paleo" for a long time, but has experienced an actual worsening of cramps. Of course, I'm not happy about our misery, but I'm loving the company. But seriously, glad to know I'm not alone in this.
