My experience with Hot Flashes and the ITG Diet...

Several years ago I was on the ITG Diet.. The typical menopausal female.. Hot Flashes during the day, hot and cold sweats at night, irritability, lack of sleep… okay, maybe even a little “bitchy”… After three weeks of being on the program the hot flashes were basically Gone.. Wow.. That is when Dr. John explained what I was going through.. Fast forward several years… Now I notice that when I have too many carbs.. i.e… a couple glasses of wine, pizza, pasta or too many sweets.. that night I will have some mild hot flashes… So in my case what I have learned is that carbs and sugars are directly related to my hot flashes. For me, this is such a gift to be able to control them.. And yes, I did lose 20 pounds on the program and have maintained my weight. I do a tune up about twice a year.. As I say, Keep that line in the sand.. if I gain back just a few pounds I get back on Step 1 of the diet.. And it works.. I am happier and healthier.. Even though I’m on the back side of 55, I feel much younger.
