TOM & Maintenance - Question for the ladies

leoniemcdee

Hey guys, so Aunt Flo is in town and I am hungry, angry and tired. Was thinking to help alleviate some of the misery I'd go up to maintenance during TOM. It means I won't lose any weight for about 5 days a month but it might also help stop any binges. Is there anyone else who does this? Or do you power through?

Thanks!

I actually am the complete opposite, while my period i actually don't like eating at all. It's before my TOM that i have to power through all those cravings. But in short, no, i keep on my deficit. But if you want to, by all means take it easier. That's your own personal choice.

I go with the flow. If I feel hungrier, I will eat... otherwise I'll power through or just increase a couple hundred calories.
