My hormones are doing crazy things this month, and my appetite is definitely up. I want to eat everything in sight. I ate at maintenance yesterday, but I am trying to push through today. Ugg, this is rough!
You will be fine and proud of yourself in the end . Just keep that in mind

Depending on what the craving is for. When it is something like pizza I let myself have it in the smallest way or after a long period of time, say about a month. With other things I find a way to cave without it being over the top. For example whe I really want chocolate I have pudding or Enlightened icecream which comes in triple chocolate or chocolate brownie fudge. I also just really like Mint Chip icecream and halotop mint chip was disappointing so I switched to Enlightened. Game changer. Other things might be like a crunchy or salty kind of need so I'll eat 1-2 servings of white cheddar popcorn.0

i give in, in moderation off course. My cravings usually excist of sweet stuff so i make sure i plan in some sweets or go for maintenance for a few days. It's once a month so i'll be fine if i eat a (little) extra.
but i have also noticed i need fewer sweets now my body is used to eat less Sugar. My cravings have changed.

I'm always starving at that time (right now). I can usually restrain myself now a days, so when insatiable hunger hits and I find myself knee deep in a pack of Oreos I know it's PMS. I just shrug it off and don't let it get too out of control (ie thousands of extra calories for days). I generally just eat at maintenance if I'm hungry, and don't worry about overall macros for those days. I also get massive hormonal migraines, and upping to maintenance seems to help with that a bit.
That being said, I do make a conscious effort to drink a ton of water and cook healthier meals in between my junk fests. I eat lots of fruit and vegetables and try to be conscious of protein. I'll have a salad and beans for lunch because I know I'm having cake for dinner hahha. I, too, take magnesium and other supplements to try to help with the joys of lady time.0 -
I try to ignore it & stomp around the house angrily.1

For what it's worth, it's the ONE symptom the pill seems to have helped with. I'm a bit hungrier overall but I don't have those days when I can eat 4500 calories and still be hungry anymore.0

I've always struggled with it. I swear the cravings made me think I was pregnant for like 3 months in a row they were so strong.0
