How do I control my food cravings and binge eating before my period?

Answer 1

try chromium, you buy it health food shops, it stops your blood sugars dropping, which causes the craving, i use all the time

Answer 2

I read it in a few different magazines and tried it for myself. That our bodies need more calcium during that time of the month. Possibly that's why we crave sweets and ice cream because they contain milk.
I usually drink a lot more milk during those days before my period, and feel much better. There is also conflicting advice on this to avoid milk - but it works for me. Also, I recommend organic milk (straus brand is my favorite).
I also find that eating some red meat gets rid of some cravings too.

Good Luck!

Answer 3

Maybe drink lots of herbal tea/water and just be calm. Don't raid the cupboard in a big binge cos you'll only feel worst for it. Have fresh fruit or make a filling salad instead.

Answer 4

Is very hard ..for every women i think...
But from my own experience...i saw that is better to eat some sweets that period,to drink water and milk
Then you have to have the will...to ovecome your body and not eat to many sweets.
But usualy........i think that for a few days.....a piece of chocolate...does no harm.
