Here is a note from a friend of mine, who has been going through menopause
for several years now. This is not the first person with whom I have spoken
who has gotten good results with this kind of diet.
As for progesterone cream or progesterone oil, I have read about and watched
a video on the benefits of it. For some women, it may be very helpful,
provided that what is used is natural (rather than synthetic) progesterone.
Ray Peat sells a pure progesterone oil, which is not the same as wild yam
creams sold in natural foods stores. You can do a web search for Ray Peat;
he has written a lot of articles on diet, hormones, and coconut butter/oil.
Cheers,
Rachel
-Hi Rachel,
I've read most of "Life Without Bread". Thank you very much for telling me
about this book. It makes a lot of sense to me, and my own experiences with
a low carb diet have been very positive and seems to bear out the
information in this book. I have reduced my carbs since first reading this
book--at or below 72 grams per day. I've noticed that my hair has been
growing faster.
I have absolutely none of the negative symptoms usually associated with
menopause. I began to have "warm" flashes last summer, but after I quit
eating wheat in July, they ceased. Then, in August, we took a two week
vacation during which time we often ate potatoes because they were so
available when we ate in restaurants. After we got home, I again had warm
flashes for less than two weeks; they ceased once I had been back on my low
carb diet.> >
