okay, to all the ladies out there.
when it's that time of month, i get the WORST cravings. i want to eat EVERYTHING. something salty, something sweet, something crunchy, something chewy. just- EVERYTHING. and when i want it, i want it --- i dont wanna replace anything with veggie sticks and healthy stuff. anyone else have this same problem? how do you deal with it?

    I went through this yesterday. I wanted chocolate SO bad. Instead, I had an apple and 2TBSP of Peanut Butter & Co chocolate wonder something peanut butter. It really helped the chocolate craving.

    I am the same way...I did that the other day and didn't even realize it until I stopped eating. I'm not sure how to change that...its really hard. I've heard people suggest eating dark chocolate because it will satisfy your sweet tooth.

    I had the stupid salt craving today, so I actually bought a small bag of Pirate's Booty Cheddar Puffs... Had some, shared with my dogs. Kept me from sticking my fingers back in the bag to eat more :-) (And they were soo happy!)

    Chocolate and chips. I avoid the chips altogether, but I will allow myself a serving of crispy minis when I have a craving. I keep a dark chocolate bar in my fridge and will have a few squares here and there. I don't replace it with anything, I just have the proper portion of what I want.

    For salty - I eat unsalted peanuts or walnuts
    For SWEET (that is what I usually what) - I make a protein smoothie
    Sometimes I just want LOL...I will walk into and out of the kitchen 30 times and look in the fridge and pantry like something new will appear. I guess I am burning calories w/ all the walking LOL

    Yesterday! I was craving pralines and cream ice cream like a mother trucker! Luckily one of my friends on here told me to drink a protein shake. I'm glad I listened to her, because oh the damage I woulda done....

    I work out harder so I can earn my snacks. And bonus, that helps with the cramps.

    I am craving a hot dog right now.! PMS is hard on my diet I try to stay full on the good stuff so the cravings eventually dissipate. I don't think one hot dog with ketchup and mustard and relish will kill my calorie day.
