The nurse is educating a woman diagnosed with premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). What is the best type of diet for the nurse to recommend?

A. High protein, low fat: A higher-protein, low-fat diet may support general health but is not the dietary pattern most associated with symptom relief for PMDD. B. High carbohydrate, high fiber: Increasing complex carbohydrates and fiber can help stabilize blood glucose and boost serotonin synthesis, which often reduces mood-related premenstrual symptoms. C. Low calorie, low fat: Calorie restriction and very low-fat diets do not specifically address PMDD symptoms and may worsen mood in some people. D. Low carbohydrate, high protein: Reducing carbohydrates could decrease serotonin precursors and may worsen mood symptoms for some individuals with PMDD.
