    Edamame with salt. Pickles have a ton of sodium but I love them too!

    I always crave salt durin my TOM. I just give in and allow myself to eat some chips. It's only for one day outta the month. Plus I was told that if you are craving salt that your blood pressure may be low. So, I am thinkin that maybe since I am loosing blood and sometimes get light headed that it could be true and I may be having low blood pressure during my TOM. So no biggie give in a lil. Eat a lil extra salt. Don't stess it and drink ya water to help flush it back out.

    This is a great idea! Tastes so good. I believe they are soy beans still in their pod. Great source of protein.

    fight it, resist the temptation and before you know it, you will no longer have the cravings. The reason you have cravings is because you feed the craving. Just like a smoker needs a cigarette or an alcoholic needs a drink. Breaking old habits is not easy but worth it in the long run. good luck!
