I know im not the only one to suffer this, i get RAVENOUSLY hungry a few days before my period. Trying to snack on fruit doesn't cut it, I do like apples but after a couple of those I rumble like crazy. Anyone else get this and what do you do about it?
I'm not overweight, about 10st. for 5'7" tall but i think if this carries on i may well be!

I do this also, I get major munchies for chocolate, I will wake up at 6am and need to eat it. To tell you the truth I just give into it, I don't really eat "bad" food so those 2 days arn't going to do much damage to me.
I only noticed I did this when a rew years ago my gran pointed out that she used to get it as well.Work like you don't need money,Love like you've never been hurt,And dance like no one's watchingSave the cheerleader, save the world!0 -

I seem to remember a nutritionist saying Brazil nuts are really good for PMS and if you're gonna eat chocolate, then eat chocolate covered Brazil nuts!"Life is like a game of cards.

I get full on munchie attacks
Oh, and I'm not fussy - I just NEED FOOD
I've recently started eating mixed nuts & seeds with some raisins and a little bit of dried sweetened fruit to keep me off the chocolate Its probably just as bad as the chocolate but it makes me feel healthier anyway :rolleyes:
:rotfl: I love that term - fruity. I get that too :rotfl:Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...0 -

I get this too. I have been doing really well at Slimming World and yet the week before I just want to eat, eat, eat. Like you say, eating fruit just doesn't help and all I want is chocolate and rubbish. I have no idea how to stop it, so I just give into it so I don't feel deprived.Not buying unnecessary toiletries 2024 26/53 UU, 25 IN0 -
Phew! Sounds like i'm in good company then! I crave carbs, especially bread or bagels, and sometimes chocolate. Have tried to replace those with fruit or proteins (nuts, meat...) but i think i will just have to go with it by the sounds of things. Its only after my last (failed) pregnancy that I have had these symptoms, since i had a coil fitted. Is that a coincidence?Member no.1 of the 'I'm not in a clique' group :rotfl:
