I really need some suggestions for what I can do to curb your appetitie during PMS. I am hungry 100% of the day for the 5 days before I get my cycle. Help!!!

    eat the souls and pride of every man around you. it seems to work for others, and it's is a low calorie solution.

    Try increasing complex carbs. Research shows that carbs are the preferred food but don't gobble junk carbs. Try oatmeal with fresh fruit for breakfast, sandwiches on whole grain bread at lunch and brown rice pasta dishes for dinner. If you watch portion sizes you'll be ok.

    Someone posted that eating meat helps that your body wants iron and that is why we run to the chocolate.

    Your metabolism rises a bit, so let yourself eat a little more. Better happy than miserable. Oats are good.

    Souls and pride, huh? Hiiiilllarious...

    I just try to eat low-cal things like baby carrots, cut up veggies--things that require a lot of chewing and feel like you're eating something substantial, you know? It's a rough several days, for sure. Oh, also, chocolate protein shakes help with chocolate cravings AND make you feel full.
