    As I'm lactose intolerant, I find that making myself sick with an ounce of cheese kills my TOM cravings. It's weird, but it works. Basically when my body decides to get all batshit crazy on me, I get a bit crazy back.

    I also find that upping protien helps me, so whenever I have steak 3 nights in a row, it's a safe bet that I'm on my period.

    Find whatever works for you. You may just have to back an extra 200 calories a day the week before your period, so that you can eat an extra 200 calories a day on your period. It'll average out in the end.

    I tried having a huge lunch that day, with like 3 burger patties, so lots of fat and lots of protein, but it still doesn't do the trick. Lately I've been overeating by 1000(!) calories EVERY day of this crazy hunger streak so 200 extra calories for a week won't save me. I'm thinking I just need to suffer through it. The problem is that I become completely non-functional if I do that as I don't have any energy or focus left for anything else, like my job and responsibilities :(.
