So what did you come up with? What is one food you can have during each phase of your cycle? Here's mine! 1. Menstrual (Iron🩸) - Lentils & spinach. I will probably make spinach and lentil curry for this! 2. Follicular (Fiber-rich Carbs🍓) - Fruit smoothies! 3. Ovulatory (Protein🥜) - Tofu 4. Luteal (Fat🥑) - A side of avocado with every meal
1. Menstrual - lentils, greens, maybe grass fed & finished beef 2. Follicular - beans, apples, greens 3. Ovulatory - lentils/beans, tofu, salmon, eggs, maybe a grass fed & finished meat 4. Luteal - avocado, almonds/pecans/walnuts I’ve also heard that for perimenopausal women who have a lower carb lifestyle, it’s important to increase healthy (not junk) carbs the week before our period is due to help increase progesterone to help our period arrive
