Estrogen levels drop---makes us feel moody, hungry, etc. (estrogen is a 'feel good' hormone).
Because we don't feel as happy, the brain wants more serotonin (the main brain chemical for happiness/well-being), and eating helps achieve that---especially high-carb foods and chocolate.

Its hormonal. Estrogen fades as you get ready to start a period. Estrogen helps keep insulin under control. Insulin, thus, can go wild. The purpose of insulin is to open the "cell's mouths" to let food and water in. Thus, right before your period, insulin is madly tucking food and water in cells, causing bloating and weight gain.
The food insulin tucks in cells is blood glucose. If there is too much insulin (a condition known as hyperinsulinemia), it can result in there being too little blood glucose in the blood stream for the rest of the body to use during the day (a condition known as hypoglycemia). If the brain senses a low blood sugar condition, it requests food, lots of it, high carb food like chocolate and potato chips and french fries and such.
That is why you may have binges before your period.

hormones have weird effects on your body. it will cause you to crave salty or sweet foods where during your non menstrating times during the month you would find yourself not eating that kind of stuff.

Ask your gyno, maybe he can prescribe you something which will make you much less nauseous. edit: regardless of you do, do no longer pass on delivery administration, there are maximum of hazards with that crap, first of them is subject getting pregnant once you're older.

Maybe it's to compensate for the loss of blood or something with hormones. I don't know but that would be my guess.
