    I think its okay and it makes it much easier in my opinion. I used to eat the wrong foods all the time just give into craving and buy into the beliefs that you want chocolate during your period or that you crave more starches during that time...that would be my excuse to just PIG out on chips and candy....but I can honestly say that since I am cleansing, that I feel better....Actually, I've never had any physical things like cramps or moodiness...that never was an issue with me, the only thing I noticed is being bloated and that I would always gain 3or 4 pounds right before the period and then lose it right after....since I have been cleansing on a regular basis now I don't have the bloating........

    I would think so...the cycle is to detox and cleanse yourself. If you're fasting it may make the cycle heavier due to more concentrated detox, but it won't remain that way. In my opinion I think it would be a good idea actually. It also may be harder if someone had cravings during PMS and stuff.
