So I gained 3.5 pounds in 6 hours with no food being ingested, and not a lot of liquids. Then I found myself snapping at my son for no real reason at all. Then I looked at the calendar, and knew what was coming.

I know how to deal with/combat the weight gain. But does anyone know of any foods that might help with the irritability and snippishness? I am not horrible with it. I mean, I'm not like a raving lunatic, but I do find myself with a much shorter temper and surly attitude for about 3 days or so. Is there anything that can fit into my calorie counting program that you guys have found helpful? I don't mean a comfort type of food, btw..I mean something that has a natural calming effect..herbs etc etc

I add in strawberries, apples, almonds (plain) to snack on and drink chamomile tea, for me these seem to help. My cubemate at work swears by black strap molasses. Good luck with finding what works best for you!
