Appetite before periods

Does anyone else get super hungry with cravings for foods they would normally never have the week before their period? And any tips on reducing the cravings and appetite please?

yes its totally normal! it's your hormones going crazy. there's no way on reducing the cravings other than ignoring them or eating. you could try to control how much you eat or keep yourself busy so it'll take your mind off of it.
Snack on healthy foods, like fruits.
Whenever you crave something, drink water to fill yourself and reduce appetite

Yep, hormones definitely go wild! Like it's weird how my appetite is totally back to normal after starting my period whereas yesterday I was making past in the middle of the night because I was so hungry lol.

Fruit doesn't do it for me sadly :frown:
