When I get PMS and hormonal, I love eating any kind of
food smothered with hot sauce, ketchup and sour cream.
Usually, I'll make up one or two hotdogs and
indulge in those. After it's over, I don't usually
eat rich junk foods. I think they're just salt cravings.
Do you have any foods that you crave, when you get PMS
or hormone swings?
Please share.

French fries are probably my number one craving. My son loves it! lol It's about the only time that he gets to eat french fries, because I don't cook them any other time, and if we eat fast food, he always gets apples or yogurt. Sometimes I crave sweets, but not very often anymore. The last couple of times, I haven't craved anything, and in fact I don't even want to eat ANYTHING!

I get those emotional cravings too.
Sometimes I just cry or post online.
Then sometimes I cry and post! LOL!
I'm usually a big basket case or emotions
when I PMS.
Hey you know, a thought just occured to me.
I read that cravings for carbs like sweets, cake
flour based pastries is normal when a person
is under stress.
The carbs help the brain by secreting a hormone
that makes the body feel better.
So carbs are not a bad thing.
They help your body deal.
They mentioned eating a piece of sweet fruit
like an orange instead, because it has
good carbs or good sugar.
I might do that from now on.
I don't know why I didn't think of that before!
Be well.
Thanks for dropping by.

It's usually chocolate. It's just one of those things that I tend to really crave when my cycle is coming. That's usually how I notice my cycle may begin soon. Usually if I can survive the first few days it will go away and doesn't bother me anymore. I generally just crave lots of food period.

For me it's usually sweet things. I love Ice cream and chocolate, or fresh baked cookies. Once my sister bought one of those big tuns of cookie dough and baked them right when I was getting cravings, I had almost all of them! xD

Red licorice and rootbeer are my two main cravings on a regular basis, so it tends to increase during that time of the month.
Mm, I could go for some right now...
