Does anybody else have this problem?

[sillygurl18]

Whenever I am mentsrating my metabolism speeds up. I am always hungry. I'll eat and then 2 hours later I'm hungry again. If you have this problem, how do you curb your appetite?

I definitely do! I get cravings for anything chocolate, sweet, and full of carbs!
I normally just cave in, because I am not strong!

I have the same problem this week. I fight that strong urge to no avail. Lately, I've been taking a multivitamin and I noticed that the urge to eat everything on site has subdued abit. I also have a venti cafe latte with vanilla free syrup with whipped cream at starbucks in the morning. That takes cares of my cravings for the day. I know it's bad for you but a girl has got to indulge http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

I'm always hungry anyway. I really can't seem to curb my appetite.

Same here, If I try to curb my appetite around that time, I just wind up completely irritable...So I keep deshelled sunflower seeds and raisins to help me. They fill me up. I figure it will at least give me good fats and proteins, and what ever health benifits raisins have to offer.

I usually feel this way BEFORE Aunt Rosie from Redbank comes to visit. I give in to the urges. Once she comes to town, I actually eat a lot less because I have no "taste" for anything....plus, Id rather sleep than eat during that time.

I have that same problem, but unfortunately I don't think that there is anything that you can do about it. I crave chocolate, carbs, and other things that are bad for me. I just give in to the cravings http://www.longhaircareforum.com/forums/images/graemlins/lick.gif

I usually get hungry the week before as well. I used to crave sweet things, but after eating foods with natural sugars (fruits...) I noticed that the cravings subsided, and the cramps subdued as well. I believe our bodies tell us many things, if we just listen to them and stay in tune with them

I wonder, does it also seem like your energy increases too? I remember writing a post on one of cathe's forums, just delighting in the fact that I had had a blast the last three or four days working out because I felt I could push myself so hard, my heaviest weights were feeling so light, I was stepping for more than an hour at a time and wasn't getting too tired. Somebody responded asking me if I were due for my monthly visit. I thought that was strange, but it turned out to be true the next month. I never noticed it before. So take advantage of the increased metabolism.

yup - I have soooo much energy and want to eat myself out of house and home...my cravgins usually come th eweek leading up to it...my cramps kinda keep me from fulfilling the cravings once the period is started though

I resign myself to the fact that one week of every month my eating habits are going to be a bit beyond the norm. So, I just go with it, and then resume my normal eating patterns when my cycle ends.
