PMS Be Gone!

Today's Food:

Breakfast:
2 bananas with two heaping tablespoons raw crunchy almond butter, shredded coconut and cinnamon (after a nice 5 mile run)

32 ounces lemon water

Snacks:
1 cup "Go take a Hike!" raw trail mix with goji berries, mulberries, golden raisins, cashews and pistachios

32 ounces lemon water

Dinner:
garlic olives
salad with romaine, purple cabbage, daikon, carrot, 1/2 avocado and sprouts, with dulse, nutritional yeast and olive oil

Dessert:
2 rolled dates in coconut

12 ounces water

As a follow-up to yesterday's blog, increasing my water gave me the most energized run in a couple of weeks! And, goddess women, my menstrual cycle started today, so imagine that; all that speed and energy to run, just from water!
Speaking of cycles, the other component is how you eat. Would you like to eliminate symptoms of PMS; bloating, tenderness in the breasts, fatigue and huge emotional swings? OK, then start with eliminating these food categories two weeks before your period is due: Sugar, salt, processed food, white flour, dairy, caffeine and alchohol. Watch what happens. You may feel so good that it's a complete surprise when you actually do get it.
Please write in and tell me if you have experienced this or if you would like to try this experiment and write in with the results...
