    I don't have that problem anymore but I have found something that helps me and keeps my mouth busy. I like the Baskin Robbins Sugar Free hard candies. They are 10 calories per piece.

    I totally understand the cravings before this site I would eat all day long, (which would be why I weight so much) But I have found that like dum dums, I prefer candy canes. 1 will last me 2 days. they are about 55 cals for 1. I also found that if I am active ,more so that week than any other, I don't eat as much but everyone is different.

    We all get them it is so normal and we all have different ways of combatting them.
    I find that a dose of protein help, IE a spoon of peanut butter, a handful of plain walnuts,
    Or my fav. an apple with a tablespoon of Peanut butter on the side.
    I am sure that the cravings are natures little way of making sure me have all the nutrients we need to get through what we go through at that time of the month.
    You might also want to try vits but off the top of my head, the only one I can think of is brewers yeast DHEA (to keep your mood up. most b vits and maybe some Q E 10
    But research them to make sure that they are right for you.

    If you struggle with stress & chocolate cravings, than B-complex & Iron. Yep! You physically crave chocolate for the iron it contains and what you are loosing in blood! No worries of becoming anemic here, but that's the reason for that specific craving. So you can take a supplement, or just feel less guilty about enjoying that brownie or hershy kiss! :tongue:
