My french sister-in-laws exquisite baking did me in.

I read that grapefruit juice speeds up your metabolism so, I'm willing to give that a try. It tastes sort of puckery, but oh well. I am having the WORST pms I've had in years. Now it is obvious I have had WAY more: alchohol & wine & sugar this month than usual (By FAR!) My face broke out, I'm bloated & moody. They haven't been this heinous in a long time. I HAVE to believe it is diet related!!! Wow, it was fun eating like a Queen, but man am I PAYING for it!

CLEARLY, I did EVERYTHING WRONG!!!!!! *Blaaaaaaah*
Eat complex carbohydrates (such as whole grain breads, pasta and cereals), fiber and protein. Cut back on sugar and fat.
Avoid salt for the last few days before your period to reduce bloating and fluid retention.
Cut back on caffeine to feel less tense and irritable and to ease breast soreness.
Cut out alcohol. Drinking it before your period can make you feel more depressed.
Try eating up to 6 small meals a day instead of 3 larger ones.
Get aerobic exercise. Work up to 30 minutes, 4 to 6 times a week.
Get plenty of sleep--about 8 hours a night.
Keep to a regular schedule of meals, bedtime and exercise.
Try to schedule stressful events for the week after your period.
