I can...Okay, that's an interesting question. I can't think of why a healthier diet would increase estrogen/progesterone -- got a mechanism? Also, does E or P cause acne, or is that just testosterone? (Maybe I'm making more T due to diet? But why?)<br /><br />Thinking about the hormone hypothesis: I have not noticed a change in menstrual cycle EXCEPT... that now that I think of it, I have been grumpy 1-3 days before start of menses during both Whole30s... and I NEVER have PMS type symptoms other times. Literally never. I was chalking it up to reduced carb intake (again no mechanism, but sometimes people with PMS crave carbs, right? so something something hormones something carbs...), but maybe it's something related to hormone levels.<br /><br />Do you think your acne could be due to increased consumption of some other common allergen? Eggs, shellfish, citrus, tomatoes? Just making wild guesses now.<br /><br />I'll be very interested to hear how the Whole30 goes for you guys. One of the keys to it (esp when starting out) is eating ENOUGH. You shouldn't feel deprived. I was surprised by how much lunch I need to pack!Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14582049406998358870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542189740662270002.post-23424847239011795222014-01-20T14:16:50.325-08:002014-01-20T14:16:50.325-08:00You totally rock!

But OMG-- I ALSO have an acne outbreak and can't figure out why less simple sugars equals more acne either. I don't eat almonds so that is not the explanation in my case. Do you think it is increased estrogen or progesterone due to a healthier diet? sea legs girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782712411873234071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8542189740662270002.post-52257795893228386992014-01-20T12:13:20.082-08:002014-01-20T12:13:20.082-08:00Yummmmm!Yummmmm!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11953219113268563542noreply@blogger.com
