Hi, although I've been reading through this site almost all the time, but I'm quite new with trying this diet, as I've only started 5 days ago. I've realised massive improvements with myself in just 2 days in terms of physique and overall health. Usually, I am quite hormonal when it comes to PMS ( one of my worst times ever) and I'd usually suffer from heavy migraines, obvious breakouts, red eyes (from low oxygen), mood swings, IBS and all sorts of unwanted things that you could ever imagine. One time, I even fainted from PMS - and doctors would usually tell me to stay away from fatty foods such as milk and cheese.

It was not until I saw Jimmy Moore's youtube video about PMS where he mentioned that " what your brain is really telling you is that it needs fats and not sugars" and that was when it really hit me and I told myself " I really gotta try this out, there is no way, this should work. If it does, then I will live like this for the rest of my life" and Jimmy was right. 2 days later, all my sufferings were gone. My stomach became flatter, my head became more alert and clear that i didn't need to chain smoke and sleep all the time. And I've realised I'm more satisfied with eating and sleeping less. I became less grouchy too. usually at this time, my migrained would be very frequent, and here I am anticipating for a headache. NOTHING! so JImmy, hats down to you.

Congratulations on your improvements and welcome to the board

A lot of us on this forum have found that cutting out the sugars and starches make incredible immediate changes in our health. For me, within 2 days I had increased energy, slept less and I felt as if a fog had been pulled from head. My only regret is it took me so long to make the changes that have improved (and probably saved) my life.

I, too was surprised at how quickly I felt better after I decided to stop eating all grains and starches (I had already stopped eating sugar and artificial sweeteners). I initially told myself I would do it for 2 weeks (I figure I can do anything for 2 weeks) but after 2 or 3 days it was very apparent that I would be doing it for the rest of my life. I felt fantastic! I was shocked. I had already been feeling really good, but still some joint inflammation issues, which have substantially declined.

I now just tell people who ask me about it ("What? You don't eat PIZZA???") that I have an allergy to wheat and it makes me sick. It is probably true. I don't have the money or need to be medically tested and wouldn't take the prescriptions they would likely force on me so I could continue to eat it. Much easier and more fun to eliminate it from my diet.
