Weight Gain & Periods
Ms. PMS Dieter
Written by Sky Taylor, Diet Bites
The Moody Dieter
Mood swings, hot and cold issues, pain, bloating, headaches, depression, insomnia, breast tenderness, fatigue, nervousness and mental fog are just a few issues that accompany Ms. PMS Dieter.
Daily Diet plays heavily into all of these issues and may be of help in remedying, or at minimum, improving the Ms. PMS Dieter.
Due to pain, Ms. PMS Dieter may find exercise unappealing during Cycle Time, even if studies have shown that exercise works in relieving pain.
If you are the person in pain, it’s difficult to be convinced of such because all you really want to do is shut out the lights, crawl into bed and hold a pillow to your tummy.
Hormone imbalances may be a considerable culprit and may also be responsible for weight gain. To correct and remedy, Ms. PMS Dieter should run, not walk to their physician - holding the pillow in place while doing such if necessary.
The fortunate thing about Ms. PMS Dieter types is that there are reprieves between cycles. However, this is also a negative because medical attention may be procrastinated due to the brief reprieves.
