Peace of mind Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hello everybody! Today I'am feeling so hungry and I can't stop eating. I'am craving sugar so bad. I don't know why is this happening and I'm so worried that I might gain weight because my body tends to do that very easily. I usually experience this king of hunger one or two weeks before my periods but it's been two weeks that my periods are over. I don't know what to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiseman2 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Eat a salad and some lean protein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustlovedogs Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 If it's two weeks since they were over, it's also two weeks until they start. So right on schedule! Drink more water. Have some fruit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsallgrand Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I really like kettle corn for munchies. It takes a long time to eat, it's sweet, it's salty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WombatShadow Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Your post just cleared something up for me. I was in the same boat earlier this week. I had like three donuts, a sub, chips, a pop, a cupcake, two cookies, and almost had more chips...and that was just at work. I got home and made myself a pizza, and ate almost the whole thing. It was so confusing, because I normally don't just binge eat for no reason and I wasn't stressed or upset that day in the slightest. The hunger has faded slightly, but it's still intense. A little bit of math tells me that my period should be coming soon. This will be the first period since going off birth control, and I guess I forgot what PMSing is like lol. Thanks for the clarification, and I hope your ravenousness tapers off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jujusamples Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 It could be ovulation time for you, sometimes it's the same cravings you get when you are menstruating. Try to eat some fruit, that usually helps me with sugar cravings. Drink lots and lots of water as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParisPaulette Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Do you starve yourself or are you on a very limited calorie intake? Also how old are you? If I know those two things it might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charity Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 My PMS causes a savage hunger. Only eating to the point of discomfort satisfies me. Every month I try to fight it, most months I lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boltnrun Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I never keep the weight I gain from PMS eating. So, eat on! But try to include things like tuna, chicken, spinach, broccoli and fruit. Those things will help with the extreme fatigue that some women (like me) get from PMS or ovulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfeeder Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Add greens. I saute kale or spinach in the oil of minced garlic and add some peppers and onions. I let them cool down, throw them in a container and take half to work, leave half in the fridge. I eat a serving after EVERYthing I put in my mouth. It helps to fill me, aids digestion, and 'finishes' my meals or snacks. If I can't stop eating, I stick to the greens. Given the garlic and desire to clear all greens from my teeth, I brush afterward, which tends to prevent me from more snacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
