Eat to Balance Insulin

Another way to naturally raise progesterone is to balance the hormone insulin. You can do this by eating a diet consisting of low glycemic foods, or foods that slowly convert into blood sugar. Eliminate refined flours and sugars from your diet, which convert into blood glucose very rapidly. A diet that consists of too many sugary and starchy foods will lead to insulin resistance, which causes an imbalance with progesterone and PMS symptoms will follow. To prevent this from occurring, eat a lean protein – chicken, turkey, fish, beans, nuts – and a complex carbohydrate – a vegetable or high fiber fruit – every 2-3 hours.”
