Girl! Eat what you want. . .you are about to experience the most annoying function of a woman's body - treat yourself! I've never heard of anyone dying from eating too much chocolate or Ben & Jerry's before their period. It's only once a month. . .

I'm always fatigued before my periods. Try Midol or Pamprin usually works for me!

The only thing is to be able to bear it.  I have had to sacrifice chocolate to lose weight as well.  At the beginning, I was looking for anything to substitute it.  Then I realized that nothing was going to do it and I had to decide which I wanted more:  to lose weight or to have chocolate.  I decided for losing weight.  That was 35 pounds ago.  Now, I have chocolate but only once in a while and if I do get a craving, I can control it.

You may be low in potassium.  Have a chat with your GP.  Generally cravings are the body's way of getting you to up specific nutrients.  \n\nWhen I was anaemic I was craving chocolate - chocolate has iron and sugar which helped (a very little) with my iron and energy levels.  Since I've been on Iron Therapy, the cravings have eased.

Low carb ice creams with shaved or melted Asher chocolates on top.\n\nSugar free Jello with heavy cream on top.\n\nRaspberries with whipping cream made with heavy cream and Splenda.  Grate some Asher's chocolate over the top.  Yum!\n\nMy favorite: Russel Stover Net Carb French Mint chocolates!!\n\nAnd, I know this isn't sweet but it fills a craving, try browning crushed garlic in butter and tossing macadamia nuts in the pan with them until they begin to brown.  Add seasoned sea salt to taste.\n\nFind the net carb of different fruits.  Choose the low carb fruits such as raspberries and blueberries and crush them, add Splenda to taste, and spoon them over low carb ice creams.  Be absolutely sure to pay attention to the serving size.  You don't want to add carbs that you aren't aware of.\n\nEnjoy!

No clue maybe you like girls & guys??? This actually happend to me once also. What i did was focused on a guy I like, try to do everything you can to get him so now your mind is on him sexually. But since this happens to you before your period maybe you are a lesbian because during & before your period girls are more horny and you appear to be horny to the same sex. I would suggest thinking long & hard about girls sexually and than think about guys an find out wich appeal to you more. good luck with your journy to find yourself!

OK, everyone else is just saying eat it.  What I do instead of eating the chocolate bars or icecream is drink a cup of diet (sugar-free or low-fat) hot chocolate.  If you want a real treat, I love the swiss-miss French Vanilla, but those aren't diet.

My wife is a nurse for over 20 years and this is the first time she ever heard this, so she says it is fine to drink milk during your period.

It depends on what M&M's, I like Skittles but I have to be in the mood for it. Reeses Pieces are good for when you are on your period.

I would sure think so because your hormone levels are more unbalanced during menustration and right before it\n\nMy roommate especially finds herself wanting more sweets when she is on her period and hungrier all the time right before it\n\nSo based on experience with other people, I think it's normal - I'd still say try not to, but heck, it's a period - every girl's disdain.

you can't quit chocolate but you can reduce intake. only eat it in sundays and don't eat it in the rest of the week
