For Women: PMS Cravings...

This is probably not the best advice, but it works for me. Keep in mind I am not trying to lose a ton of weight, and I maintain a fairly healthy diet. However, this morning I treated myself to a white mocha because of PMS cravings. What I do is allow myself 1 treat for the entire 3-5 days of my period. I pick something that I usually never have (ie white mocha) and try to savor it. If your go-to is chips, limit yourself to a bowl. Or buy a small bag.

Hope that helps! Like I said, probably not the best advice, but I'm not on the extreme diet page; I believe in eating what you want as long as it's within reason (ie some chips or popcorn when hanging out with friends on Saturday night is fine if you stick to a handful, not 5 bags, and not every night).


Totally agree with this comment......everything in moderation.....otherwise if you deny yourself you will binge. i only eat chips now for example if my kids are around me so i only have a few and they down the rest.

I usually get cravings 2 days before. I try to manage them.
But today I almost binged on my major binge food - dads spaghetti. Oh how good they smelled. And I was hungry.
I managed to avoid it by spicing up my normal food with some onions...
Maybe take something healthy but try to make it more interesting...so that you dont eat junk food:)
