The menstrual cramps became almost non existent as did the PMS. It’s now been 16 months 100% PMS free, and since adding magnesium to my supplements 100% menstrual cramp free. This was the missing link, when i cut these foods out completely, I got complete relief. While the Zone diet reduced these foods considerably and fixed my blood sugar and weight issues, it was not the full picture. Food quality matters, a point Robb Wolf has noted again and again when I wrote to him of my experience.

Ribbs,a nd veggies does not sound particularly restrictive to me, but hey, I just like eating this way. Similarly, I just pester people to try it for a month, figure out if i;s worth it for them, then modify from there. It should not be viewed as a religious conversion! Just a month long experiment to see what it can really provide. Adrian-

A real quick question. Will the book have anything about Irritable Bowel Syndrome in it, success stories etc? Personal interest I guess. I've definitely seen some improvement but still not at 100% - Maybe I'm not strict enough yet.. Really, really looking forward to the book/s anyway. Hope they're coming along well. Just as a sidenote - I'm amazed at how many people at my affiliate aren't all that interested in going paleo. I think they see it as being way too restrictive. thanks again, adrian Hi Robb,

From what I've read about 100 IU sustains 1ng/mL, and you want about 50ng/mL optimally so 5,000 IU maintenance is approximately right (depending on weight of course). So yeah.

Back at the Boston Nutrition Cert. you said that if a client is failing to lean out then try and remove cheese sticks for example from their diet and they should lean out. Is it a combo of the sodium and potential bloating that dairy can bring (if one can't digest it well)? Thanks again. Sounds good, one more question if I may.

I noticed in her description that she removed grains and legumes but did not mention dairy specifically. I agree with the grains and legumes removal as this past weekend was full of parties and unfortunately I broke down and had chili, pizza, and one beer. I haven't felt that gross in awhile and I swear I'm still coming off the wheat as I've had a constant headache and I'm convinced it's my body craving wheat. Anyways, back to dairy. While I know you recommend the "try it out" approach, I doubt that you would recommend anyone consuming legumes and/or wheat for any amount of time. What about dairy? I'm of the position that as long as you don't consume wheat or legumes, dairy doesn't pose any problems. I know strict Paleo takes it out but I wanted to get your opinion on it. Akin to eating corn tortillas, is some dairy everyday ok (like lactose free milk, cream, some cheese and maybe ice cream here and there)? Thanks Robb. I think this is an area around Paleo where people have a lot of questions. Great stuff! I noticed in her description that she removed grains and legumes but did not mention dairy specifically.
