I love the "cycle diet" sooo much. It is the only "diet" where I feel full. I am not waiting for my next meal. It is not designed to be a weight-loss diet. It is designed to be a diet for people who have PMS and PMDD. I have PMDD. This means that I get really mean and want to tear people's eyes out when I am having my period!
A lady named Debra Hope-Reisedel is a nutrtionist/dietician and she designed a diet to help people like me to not tear out the eyes of others during our periods (wasn't that nice of her?)!!!!!
She has 2 phases to her diet. It's broken up into the 2 parts of the month where you are finishing or starting your menstrual cycle (the luteal phase and the follicular phase). During the short time that I followed her diet last year, I followed strictly the luteal phase, which is the more strict phase, but I really like it.

Today for lunch, I had 1/2 cup of egg beater, 1 packet of oatmeal, 1/2 cup blackberries with splenda on them, 1/2 cup corn, and about 6 or 7 okra spears. I am STUFFED! Debra wants people to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner plus 2 snacks. I am really having a hard time eating so much right now, so...I know she wouldn't whole-heartedly approve, but for breakfast I have a cup of decaf coffee with soy milk in it and a whole-wheat bagel. Then I eat my other 2 meals just like she has it written down. I just can't really eat all 3 meals and the snacks.
I feel great after lunch.
