There are some advocating cutting out sugars (and flour) completely. An informative book on this one is: Potatoes Not Prozac, and also Food Addiction, your body know. Perhaps during your menses your hormone levels drop and shift your response to glycemic foods. I noticed brief periods of depression following the onset of my menses and then it would pass. I attributed it to the dramatic drop in my hormones once the menses started. Pat Sonnenstuhl, ARNP,CNM AnnMarie wrote: > > I can't really offer advice, but I can maybe offer support.
