hey ladies!

It's that time of the month and I'm just wanting to eat every cake, chocolate, bread and fatty thing I see.

Any tips on healthy substitutes that can curb those cravings?

Any help would be appreciated :)

    Why not just allow yourself to have small amounts of those items and try to fit them into your day?

    If you've got a Costco near you they have something called Brownie Brittle. It's probably sold in other stores - it's not their proprietary brand. I got chocolate/salted caramel. So good! 120 calories for a good portion (28 g maybe?).

    So good, totally satisfied my craving!

    me too

    I find I carb crave during PMS .. which is OK because I never cut my carbs down - so I just keep on eating my 300-400g carbs a day

    I find rice with a big healthy chicken stew or with a chunky vegetable stew and cheese and toast with egg white and cheese to be good satieting foods

    I just had chicken and noodles in a chilli sauce with coriander and green beans

    I eat a lot of crisps (chips)

    I fit them into my calories

    i give into temptation and allow myself one day per week to eat the food i am craving. if i restrict too much i find myself being depressed about it. this week it was ben and jerrys peanut butter cup. last week it was pizza week before chinese chicken wings etc. as long as i am weighing everything else in between and track my activity i find i am still losing
