The Ink-Pot and the Palette

I've used Starflower oil for a long time for PMT. My husband now recognizes the symptoms enough so that if I'm weepy/angry/irritable/anxious for no reason he knows to hand me the pills, and it really does change my mood within about 20 minutes of taking it.

So I knew it worked for that, but I noticed that on weeks where I took it, I lost dramatic amounts of weight - up to 4lb a go. On weeks that I didn't take it, I'd lose within a range of 0.5 to 1.5 pounds. If hormones affect the way our bodies process food - and I think that's a known fact - then it makes sense that something that can alter your hormones can alter your weight loss too.

Glad to hear that you're over it too! It really was very disheartening, but at least if there's a next time we'll be much more sanguine about what's going on, and be able to persevere without all the doubt :)
