Exclamation PMS Alert! Ladies.....

I want, no I NEEEEEEEEEED cheese right now. Happens every time I have my lovely aunt come to visit every month. Why is that? Who else craves stuff (bad stuff) and what do you crave?

Mmmmmmmm, cheese... One of my PMS faves, too! Luckily, I've discovered those tiny little Laughing Cow cubes. They're only 7 calories each, and they really do seem to help with the cheese craving. I just pop one whenever I'm feeling it, and I'm able to move on (for a little while, anyway!)

You actually burn more calories the week or so before your period. This and hormones are probably the culprit when it comes to cravings.

Cheese isn't so bad a craving to have though, if you can eat it in moderation. It's better then wanting to eat a pint of Ben & Jerry's.

Salty carbs...I caught myself skulking around the kitchen, eyeing my toddler's Goldfish crackers just this afternoon. To make matters worse, I always hit a weight plateau for like nine days before my period. It is sooo annoying! I know it is retained water and will go away, but it still urks me to see my scale shoot up a pound or two and just stay there no matter how hard I hit the bike.

mmmmmmmmm cheese.

for me it wavers back and forth between - cheese and chocolate. and anything savory that is bad for me- a burger, chips, any incarnation of the potato....

I tend to crave sweet and salty .e.g. cocolate dipped pretzels, honey roasted peanuts, kettle corn... it's gotta have that combo LOL

BUT I am also a sucker for cheese - anytime of the month LOL

I crave anything and everything. It's horrible. But I've noticed that chocolate actually tastes better when I have PMS.
