I think ...Vickie, thank you for sharing your story. I think it's so helpful for people like me so I know that if I'm still having migraines to keep searching for a food connection. Deep down, I saw the migraines decrease, so I could really see that getting down to the last few foods would be key. <br /><br />It could be a also combo thing- both hormonal (fewer big estrogen drops) and foods. Glad I can control it with food. So much better than taking Motrin Migraine. Too many days lost with headaches. Glad to put a lid on those 30 years. <br /><br />Thanks again, Vickie! :) Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-89138521133441351552014-03-08T05:22:23.270-08:002014-03-08T05:22:23.270-08:00Anna, I've had so many women tell me that they...Anna, I've had so many women tell me that they've had fewer symptoms eating less processed food. I'm just really pleased that the timing of the two worked out so well and in parallel. <br /><br />Good luck and eating well is a great thing. :) Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-4149916967785086852014-03-08T05:20:55.970-08:002014-03-08T05:20:55.970-08:00Gwen, thanks!

I "picked" the lower BMI because my small bone structure and decreasing the visceral fat so I would have the best chance of avoiding type two diabetes.<br /><br />And the other reason was an emotional thing. Both of my 2 times at "goal weight" at Weight Watchers were right at my 24 BMI cut off. Bad memories of trying to "make weight" so I wouldn't have to pay. Doctors tsk, tsking me. My health insurance would go up by $40 a month!!! <br /><br />Now I would be okay being higher BMI as long as I wasn't binge eating, or moderate eating junk food. And I could still get my insurance discount.<br /><br />Good luck whatever you decide. I do feel better mid-range with my BMI than I did right at the cut off. I 'll bet you can find your happy space.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454945489632370863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-92136432826352119012014-03-07T17:22:18.035-08:002014-03-07T17:22:18.035-08:00I thought I was in menopause for several years in ...I thought I was in menopause for several years in my 40's as I had night sweats, sleep trouble, hot flashes, etc. All of that was caused by processed foods. I am now 52 (turning 53 in a couple weeks) and still having a cycle with NONE of those symptoms. It was all food related.<br /><br />I used to have constant migraines. They were also food related. I very rarely have one now (a few times a year and usually weird weather related). I could eat in such a way that I would have a migraine every day. And honestly when I read MigraineBlogger posts, I always have the same thought - they are very sure what they eat does not cause their constant migraines, but if I ate what they eat, I would have a migraine every day. My opinion is they do not get their food clean enough and do not give it long enough to work. As you said, it takes time and thoroughness.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8334630318757421721.post-15094020943625685192014-03-07T14:34:52.224-08:002014-03-07T14:34:52.224-08:00I've read that eliminating grains makes menopa...I've read that eliminating grains makes menopause less symptomatic, so I hope that's true. At 50 I have not yet begun that transition (mom said she did at 55) but I would love to avoid the worst of it.
