    I'm just mad because it makes me weigh more because I'm retaining water. I hate being all puffy and crappy feeling! :angry:

    I read it is during the Luteal (sp) phase that we rev up the hormones and burn more calories. So the two weeks after you ovulate to the day you start your period and supposed to be fat burning blockbusters for us. I can't say I have ever noticed this though.

    I didn't hear the number of calories but I heard the same as pichadilly2009, that during that phase we burn more calories which is why we deal with cravings but I wouldn't use it as an excuse to binge though it's tempting. :wink:
