Yeah, plenty of talk on the board about the week you want to eat all the food.

But the next week? Blah. Nothing tastes that great, not much appetite.

Last night I realized it was nearly 7 and I still had a lot of eating to do...cottage cheese, turkey burger, green beans, yogurt, and popcorn all in by 11. Sigh...

Anyone else?

    Yup, my appetite spikes downwards afterwards. I pay attention and eat less.

    I do not suffer from this glorious affliction. I want all the foods, all the time. :disappointed:

    If I'm not hungry, I don't eat. I don't see this as a problem. I'm certainly not underweight or malnourished!

    I don't lose my appetite but for at least a week around that time I get nauseous. Now that I have a ton of stomach problems, it is even worse. Right now I feel horrible.

    Yeah, I hear you, but I'm trying to at least hit a minimum daily protein goal. I was under 1300 with all that.

    Yes! My appetite usually increases for 2-3 days. And then suddenly, I'm back to being rational again.

    Same. I don't think my overweight body will suffer much ;)

    I'm the same way. There are 2 weeks a month when I'm just not very hungry. However, it's also the perfect time to fit those high calorie treats that I can never fit the rest of the time (bread, croissant etc), so I typically eat my calories anyway. But if I really don't have much of an appetite? I keep the big deficit. The bigger the deficit I can keep when I'm not PMSing, the better, lol.

    I have 1-2 days of increased appetite due to my period. A couple of hundred extra calories usually for thosedays andthe rest I am normal. I do not have low appetite days due to my period.

    This is me. (Well, I don't eat meat. But everything vegetarian? Yeah.)

    yep. I go from ALL THE FOOD to none of the food. I don't force myself to eat if I'm not hungry because it tends to even out from when I eat at maintenance during the week prior.

    LOL yes! I think it's the body's way of making up for the "eat all the food week" - especially if you ate all the food.

    I have about 3 - 5 days of being ravenous every month, and then it tapers off and I am back to normal. It's so normal for me that I can actually tell when it is coming because of the hunger spike! I don't really have a decrease in appetite after, though. I wish I did!
