Can we talk about mood for a minute? I’ve been on the program since Nov. 4th and have noticed that my mood is getting worse. The only thing that has changed is this diet so I know it’s related. Is there anyone else that has noticed this? For me I am just extremely irritable and feel like I’m raging over the littlest things. I’m willing to suffer through until I’m done but does anyone know if it goes away once you phase off? I only have a few more months left if all goes as planned. Is it from my hormones and losing weight?!

Hormones are stored in fat and released as you burn your stored fat. They flood the body and affect emotions and women's cycles. They also make women extra fertile and require non-hormonal back up birth control! (IP babies are a real phenomenon! ) Every time you feel moody, just envision your fat . BRNING P,

Did not know about the fertility. No problem for me though anymore.

We store our emotions in our fat. so when things are changing with your body and fat your emotions come up in extreme ways. and yes hormones are kinda the same. cortisol is our stress hormone . your body gives you an extra shot when your stressed like weekends and holidays . youll be fine when this is over . even sooner than that as your organs clean up. wont be long and youll be saying that you feel great. just a little bump in the road.
