Me biggest downfall is the week before TOM. I want to EAT and EAT and EAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!! And usually I NEED something greasy (well at least my hormones think so hahahaha) Is there anything I can eat that is healthy low cal to curb this craving??? Any suggestions (besides water :P)

    I've never tried this tip, but I remember someone telling me that a baked potato with some lowfat cheese was a good snack for PMS cravings. Maybe the cheesiness will satisfy that grease hunger? LOL - try it and let me know what happens!

    Its funny you should mention this, I was watching Rachel Ray today part of her show was about this very topic!!! She had a specialist on who basically said that you crave certain foods because of the hormone spike/change your body goes through.

    She did recommend indulging in some calcium (i.e. low-fat cheese, ice cream, yogurt) or Spaghetti, she pointed out that the carbs are what you're brain needs to replenish serotonin levels that are lacking that time of the month.

    So maybe try a small serving of whole wheat pasta with homemade spaghetti sauce and some low fat mozzarella cheese? :)
