Re: PMS cravings
Stay out of the kitchen!! Find something else to do~~~go for a walk, do some sit ups or push ups, run up & down a flight of stairs, clean out the closet, brush your teeth..."You always had it. You always had the power."~~ Glinda the Good Witch

Re: PMS cravings
Are you craving chocolate? I believe "they say" low magnesium causes this. Are you supplementing well?
Sometimes, I have this PMS where I want to eat everything in site. I just try to have good food around. I may over eat but it is all legal stuff.Comment

Re: PMS cravings
Brush your teeth? I actually lol'd at that because I really don't like to eat just after I brushed my teeth.Comment

Re: PMS cravings

I'm not a chocolate person at all.... I crave munchies.... chips, pretzels, etc. and just want to basically eat everything in sight!~Mary~

Re: PMS cravings
It's best to try to "walk it off" but if you have to eat something, make sure you have legal foods around. You are less likely to go get in the car and get something if you don't have it in the house.Comment

Re: PMS cravings
I really wish it was that easy but I do have to keep things in the house for hubby & son's lunches and I also won't deprive them... But I do generally have mostly legal foods in the house. I'll survive and just try to stay focused.~Mary~

Re: PMS cravings
I usually have my highest calorie days the day before and the first day of TOM. I just eat legal stuff till I'm satisfied, which sometimes is an obnoxious amount of food. however, unlike my low calorie days, this doesn't add ten pounds back on my arse, although some months, i have a couple days stall. I may be lucky in that I never gain weight during TOM.Comment

Re: PMS cravings
I always knew just when TOM was a day off coming to visit. I could eat and eat and never get full or find that magic food that would be the one I was looking for to stop the madness. After starting Atkins, I just made sure it was all legal food that I pigged out on and didn't try to stop eating for that one or two days. Fortunately for me, after I started, I would lose my appetite for a couple of days, so it evened out in the end.
Since you crave munchies, have plenty of pork rinds around and eat things with crunch like celery with cream cheese or jicama.
