Ladies...PMS...food...

Around that time of the month, I have this horrible urge to eat whatever is around me. All the junk (food, that is) I can see, I will eat. I mean i will eat whatever but after a couple of weeks when it shows on my scale, thats when I hate myself :frowning:

Is there a remedy to it? How many of the guppans experience this? Anything that helps?

Re: Ladies...PMS...food...

I drink loads and loads of herbal tea...but sometimes you have to give in, Id die if i didnt eat chocolate :(

I usually crave fruit when its my time of the month...Pineapples and Watermelons

Re: Ladies...PMS...food...

Fresh fruits and veggies supposedly ease symptoms of PMS. Thats what "the literature" says.

Mama says. Chocolate - preferably friendly's "forbidden chocolate" ice cream with a tower of whipped cream on top. Steak, lots of it. Medium and juicy. Baked potatoes with butter and sour cream. Anything with gravy. Pasta. Throw in a roast beef hero with gobs of mayo, salt and pepper, some fried chicken and everything will be right with the world.

Apparantely taking certain supplements like evening primrose oil can help control cravings.

MM: YOu are so lucky to crave food: i crave JUNK: chocs, sweets, fried stuff etc. :( I drink tea as it is but that doesnt really help either. I am doomed :(

Mamaof3: I am sure veggies are good for me all month long, and I do eat them as salads, sabzi salan etc. But a week before that time of the month, I will eat my usual meals PLUS loads of choc, junk snacks etc. I like it how you make fun of your eating habits :D I wish i could do the same.

Desi churail: Yep chocolate it is! I ate a huge bar of cadbury's choc. with hazelnuts for breakfast on thursday!

Devoted2Allah: I think we are going to suffer from this forever.

Shahreen: You say apparently. Has it helped you?anyone else that you know?

Re: Ladies...PMS...food...

ok lets get honest here gals....there are a couple of cures for PMS...chocolate, meat, gravy. Once we accept this as a fact of life, we can move on...

Re: Ladies...PMS...food...

I eat like a pif the day before...I feel so hungry, but when my p actually starts I always feel hot and bothered and drink lots of water.
