Hormones. Don't ya love em? Maybe yours dropped a lot this month....or increased a lot. More than usual. Each month there's a increase and a decrease in hormones. This is what causes cravings, headaches, body aches, bloating.....\n\nHope you start to feel better soon.

Try drinking a bottle of water and waiting about 15 mins.  Lots of times our bodies are actually only thirsty, but trick us into thinking we are hungry, especially when craving sweets.

Drink a glass of water.  Throw them out and then if you are still hungry try eating something good for you, like carrots or if that doesn't work, eat a few.  If you can just eat like 2 or 3 chips and throw it out, you can get the taste but not all the fat!

Hormones.... metabolism..... biorhythms..... all connected.\nPart of a natural cycle, but could be a sign that your diet is lacking something. Sugar is quick-fix energy. Try eating healthy lots of brown rice, vegies, wholesome food the week Before the week before your period.......... or get tested by a natropath. I used to take a Pharma Foods supplement that balanced my blood glucose so i didn't feel flat and eat sugar in the afternoon. Worked like a charm, along with balanced meals and eating healthy.

It's the sugar.  Try cutting out processed sugar from your diet.  The first week or two is tough, but then you'll find you don't crave it any longer.  \n\nOr...try having a small amount of dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.  It's a lot healthier for you, and your body will be happier with smaller amounts.

IF you are trying to loose weight, then yes its very taboo!  Drink a lot of water to curb the craving.  IF that doesn't work, then pick something lite-like a bowl of cereal.  You don't want to eat anything high fat late at night, your body won't burn it off.

Try to eliminate all sugar to beat the sugar cravings.\nSomething I saw on Oprah which makes a lot of sense....\nYou need to be comfortable with that uncomfortable nagging feeling you get when you want to nibble.  That is when people sabotage their diet.  When you get that feeling, don't eat - that is when your body is losing weight.  \nI am trying to lose my pregnancy weight now too - I joined a gym with a daycare, and am trying to make better choices.  You can have snacks when you hit your goal weight. Your weight loss should motivate you to keep going, I love it when I fit into jeans I haven't worn in a while.  I lost 23 lbs and have 40 left to go.

you need to give yourself a little bit of what you want otherwise you'll keep craving it and then you'll binge, just cut down slowly but you dont ever have to cut it out completely, just eat in moderation, also try lollipops coz you get the sweet taste that should take the edge off the cravings

I assume you mean hungry? \n\nIts 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.\n\nThe food insulin tucks in cells is blood glucose.  If insulin tucks in too much glucose (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.  \n\nThat is why you may be hungry before your period.\n\nTo find out whys and what to do, visit www.hufa.org

I have cravings for sweets all the time, but when that happens, the best thing to do is to go for low-fat yogurt, your favorite fruit, or maybe whip up a smoothie. Try to stick to healthy foods. I'm not saying don't eat anything sweet, but try not to have it all the time. Having a sweet treat once in a while is okay, but have fruits and other good foods, too. Also, you can have a glass of water when you're craving something sugary. Water satisfies your stomach for a little while. Which will give you time to think of your next snack, or maybe even give you time to make dinner/lunch/breakfast! Hope this helps!!\n Email me back

its not that simple, you have to be overlating, usually mid cycle 10 days after period

If you like coffee or tea try a cup with some sweetener added. Or try a cup of sugar-free hot chocolate.  Or just brush you teeth, sometimes the fresh taste of toothpaste will squash the craving.

the more sweets you eat the more you want. so try not to eat any. the secret to getting rid of the crave for it is drink a lot of water.

This is a big problem with me, when you're trying to cut out the sweets or any food in general. Just make sure you have a bag of those baby carrots in your fridge at all times, and munch on those when a craving hits. They're also convenient to carry with you too. Just stick some in a baggy when you go out and stay away from restaurants like McDonald's or KFC if possible. You'll be drooling just smelling the food from outside.LOL! Good Luck!

With the colder weather and exercising, you are perhaps getting low sugar levels. The most natural response is to turn to a chocolate bar or sweets. However, it is these sugar lows and then highs that increase the cravings for more sugar.\n\nEat pasta, chicken and rice and loads of vegetables. These are full of complex carbohydrates- good sugars. Your cravings for junk sugar - called simple sugars such as fizzy drinks and choc bars and sweet puddings should go. avoid alcohol; that totally messes with your sugar levels.\n\nAlternatively, try one of those athlete drinks or chews to keep your body sugar levels intact.
