    During your cycle, your hormones are fluctuating, when on your period, your body is using more glucose (from sugar) to make energy to aid the process. This then makes you crave more sugary things.

    Try some dark chocolate! It's not as offensive to the waist line:happy:

    I haven't read through all of the replies, but OP it's totally ok and really in my case necessary to eat some chocolate - just go with super clean, organic dark chocolate and nibble a few pieces a day. I buy the Green & Black dark or dark/hazelnut bar, and eat 2-3 pieces a day during that TOM. Keeps my chocolate/sweets cravings at bay and helps me feel like I've had a treat.

    Now, as far as craving all the other junk - I do too! And I feel more hungry! Those are harder cravings to ignore. :grumble:

    Forgive me if this advice has already been posted!! :ohwell:

    if you're gonna cave and give in to the cravings, eat GOOD chocolate. dont get the cheap stuff. it'll hit the spot with a lot less calories. couple bites of godiva vs a whole hersey bar? you do the math. ;)

    I have no idea what the science is behind it, but you are not the only one who feels this way. My advice, find something chocolate, that isn't too bad in terms of fat/cals and just eat it. If you deny yourself, you are setting yourself up for failure.

    Wait until you enter into the perimenopausal phase of life, and TOM is paying you more then one visit a month. It sux!!!
