    I was craving Little Debbie zebra cakes yesterday because of my period! Which I have never enjoyed eating. Even as a kid I hated those cakes! What can I say, cravings are weird when we're menstrual!

    I crave food 24/7 for at least a day or two when I'm on the rag. It's unavoidable for me. I just have been letting it happen, no good making yourself even more grouchy by not allowing yourself to indulge every now and then. I had a zebra cake yesterday...the first one hit the spot, after that, I was good.
    Oh man, zebra cakes!! I LOVE those things!!! I used to eat them constantly as a kid. It's been ages since I had one.

    I'm really bad with TOM, I crave salty one minute and then sugar the next. It's like my cravings are bipolar. Lol!

    Eat dark chocolate. It is good for you - in moderation. I lost over 45 pounds eating dark chocolate chips almost every day last year. Check out the Flat Belly Diet - you can eat chocolate, nuts and avocado!

    Good luck! We all have our bad days, so don't beat yourself up.

    Sometimes when my monthly visitor comes I feel more anxious. Usually when I'm anxious I eat more because I'm seeking grounding, and heavy, salty, chocolately foods are grounding.
    I used to suffer from horrible migraines and started taking a magnesium supplement. Along with that and diet changes, yoga and accupuncture I've been migraine free for over 2 years (knocking profusely on wood right now!) I still take "Natural Calm" magnesium supplement and that seems to work well.

    really... you have NEVER heard of anyone having cravings on their period? really? also, why are men so sensitive that they can't happen across a thread about menstruation?

    on that note... if I say I am PMSing, is the tone of this reply more acceptable?

    Could also be your body preparing for the possibility of feeding new life. Storing up those fats and such. Once your body figures out that you aren't, the cravings should stop.

    That is an almost scary way of thinking about it. #fingersinears La la la la la la la la!

    I guess Im lucky, I have an advantage- cause I've had over 200 periods, I know what to expect now. I couldnt imagine just experiencing this for the first time. tugs on the heartstrings you know?

    Dont worry, once you've had it a few times, you will also know what to expect :flowerforyou:

    I don't get cravings, but do become very hungry a day or so before - like I need to eat every 2 hours rather than every 4-5. I just try to eat higher protein, higher fat. Keeps me satisfied a little longer. If I manage to stay under maintenance, great, but I'm out of calories at the end of the day and I'm hungry I'm still going to grab that last snack.

    It doesn't set me back enough to be worth obsessing over it.

    I have never heard of a woman having period cravings.

    It's true. It's usually the semi-colon or exclamation point that we crave.

    When I did still have a period (TY "no off week" birth control), I actually craved beans. All the time. Kidney beans. Refried beans. Whatever.
