Ladies! I have questions..

Do you eat any certain foods before you get your period?

Mine is bread, I had 4 english muffins today because my period is coming soon. Teehee, I had 1,650 calories today about 500 from english muffins!

What do you all eat or crave??

I pretty much crave absolutely everything... no food is safe from me! haha... ESPECIALLY not cheesecake! ;)

I always want to go out for a Jack and Coke a day or two before mine. I've realized, however, that my chemicals must be all messed up at that time because one drink will make me drunk whereas other times it takes quite a few more!

necessary items for me during that time:

• carbs
• cheese
• chocolate
• salty things
• beer (honey brown, sam adams cherry wheat)

and LOTS of each :-P

Yeah, my entire cupboard! Mostly comfort foods though, like breads and cereals (muffins-esp!).

Ooh! A coffee cake muffin sounds good right about now, haha.

Chocolate, ice cream, cheesecake, potato chips, and beer.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who craves beer---I thought I was crazy!

I pretty much like anything with a lot of flavor, sweetness and/or saltiness....mmmm

I don't crave beer, but I can see it as being a comfort food. Like going to the pub with your friends for chips and ale sort of thing.

Salty foods like potato chips with dip.  Thats why I don't buy them any more.  I would eat the whole bag in one sitting.

all things sweet and all things salty and sometimes those two mixed together

mmmm, yep, poqadot

chocolate dipped pretzels.

Chocolate and salt 

cheese! and chocolate. and potato chips.

KETTLE CORN!!!! 100 calorie packs save my life

Dark chocolate.. Lindt makes some 30 calories a square...

:o interesting ... i never noticed any monthly craving. For food at least. ~.^

I get ravenous that time of month, and I'll eat just about anything.  I just try to direct myself more towards the fruits and veggies than the sweets, so I'm less likely to damage my diet.  If I could allow myself to pig out on anything that time of month, it would be Pretzel Flipz!  I swear that's like the best period food ever, since it's chocolatey, crunchy, and salty all at once!  I try not to keep things like that in the house, if I can help it, especially when I know it's near that time.

Pizza and hot wings . . . and, oh yeah -- chocolate!!

I crave ice cream around my period time.

Oh man!!  I will binge on sugary-carby goodness...and tonnes of it...all my daughter's cereals and snacks for school...and wheat thins....love wheat thins.  I have been known to consume over 2000 calories in just over an hour _ I know...impossible you say?  MWUAHAHAHA!! Behold the power of the period.

I am trying to be good though...I have had to stop eating after dark because it triggers my binging, so I have a diet soda and a cigarette....yes I know smoking is evil, but it's maybe 3 nights a month, so I think I can handle that LOL and it's way better than all those calories and most of it sugar!!

The only thing I consume more of during that time of the month is painkillers...  If the pain wasn't there, I wouldn't know anything was going on :)
