Sugar craving, fatigue and headaches signify a different type of PMS. In addition to sugar, women may crave chocolate, white bread, white rice, pastries, and noodles. These food cravings may be caused by the increased responsiveness to insulin related to increased hormone levels before menstruation. In this circumstance, women may experience symptoms of low blood sugar; their brains are signaling a need for fuel. A consistent diet that includes complex carbohydrates will provide a steady flow of energy to the brain and counter the ups and downs of blood sugar variations.
Women's bodies scream for chocolate when premenstrual food cravings surface. Researchers argue that this craving is because chocolate contains high levels of magnesium. For you see that women's bodies experience magnesium deficiency prior to menstruation.

Your blood sugar level drops at this time, and if it drops to a low level you will crave sugar, this often comes in the form of chocolate. for me it comes in the form of a can of coke, yet I can't even stand the taste of the stuff and I drink just this one can a month, as my blood sugar drops so low I get a headache that no amount of paracetamol will shift, but a can of coke will get rid of it within 30 minutes.

women don't need it. It's just a craving that some women have. Personally I don't like chocolate and I never crave it. Actually the smell of it makes me nauseous

Some hormone/nutrient deficiency (May be zinc but don't have a clue to be honest.)
I find that I need choccy as well! Or 3 packets of crisps a day.
