I'm currently dealing with extreme pre period-related hunger and I wanna cryyyyyy

[@aphrodite2736]

same sis

[@LinTree25]

Eat it girl

[@x251]

I am currently on a diet my period came and I gained all the weight I lost 😭💔

[@mayuk3055]

same gurl same

[@milkmarie5120]

Straight up. I’m only good for two weeks a month

[@lazycat8946]

Same here

[@sangeetha281]

Me too 😭

[@sweetheart7743]

My body does the same thing. I think it's water weight which is totally normal. I use to weight myself everyday and I would notice that my weight would increase a week before my period. Just drink enough water and take good care of yourself, water weight goes away a few days after your period.

Eating before my period brought me to your comment

[@olivia-oz3qe]

Me: I’m gonna start eating healthy and exercising daily. Also me the next day: *Craves sugary foods for no reason*.. *Checks period tracker*.. “I’ll start eating healthy next week!”

Watching this as I’m currently drinking coffee and eating chocolate chip cookies 2 days before my period starts

[@SnowFoxParty]

I ignore the cravings and keep losing weight

[@sarahjafar6320]

You are strong!

[@anetoma3792]

[@sweetheart7743]

My pre-period cravings change every month. Right now I am craving pumpkin pie and it's the middle of summer so....yeah
Update: now I am craving bread, sushi, and yogurt.

I can't believe this woman has an MD. This just shows how little MDs know about nutrition. Please get a licensed Dietitian on the show. I can't believe how many times this woman said "causes" on here, and how much pseudo science she spoke on here. Rachael's reflections are probably more accurate than what this woman said.

Currently craving potato chips,chocolate cookies,a loaded baked potato

[@joanna.5371]

[@AmiAki]

[@christinacatalano]

Yep. One month I gained 8 lbs of water weight.

[@Chris-gm2hn]

[@ivyliu8104]

The cravings feel like something's taken over my body. “ walks to the fridge and opens it 100x per day”

[@cwsing7230]

I just want a frisking something to stop my huge appetite, I love the other 2 WKS of the month from the day I have period my hunger goes away

[@CoCo-eu1hg]

I could eat a house right before my period. I crave burgers and cheesesteaks though. Not really sweets. It's so hard. I just want to eat all the time non stop three to four days before hand. Then when I get my period, I throw up the first few days and everything returns to normal. I feel cursed. 😪

[@mercedesjaiden7688]

@@CoCo-eu1hg girl same 🥺, girl same !

[@christinacatalano]

Sorry ladies but one or two nights of some red wine and cape cod chips is worth it lol

[@michellesmith1328]

Salt and vinegar cape cod chips

[@HHAKitty]

I suddenly started craving mash potatoes while watching laurenzside 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@jordanboteler8978]

I’m a boy and all sudden a couple days ago I just wanted chocolate I think I’m having a craving of chocolate I have cravings for pickles all the time

[@collarmole1819]

Ok

[@ventalexandria7727]

When you crave pickles your body might be looking for extra vitamin A. Test it out..Buy some Vit A and take it for a month daily and watch what your cravings are like during that month and if your body feels better.

[@MariaBunn444]

I crave sm coffee and chocolate

[@brandinshaeffer8970]

As a carnivore, reliant on depleted soils & water so filthy it must be distilled before I can drink it...I am forced to drink electrolytes on the daily. I take in far more than the RDA for sodium and never put on an oz of water weight. Carbs are the reason you gain water weight from sodium. Carbo-loading, which athletes do, fills muscles with glycogen, a storage form of sugar, which holds more water. Cutting back on salt is meaningless if you're still eating a bunch of carbs. The girl in this clip looks like she loves a carb or two.

I have PMDD so I'm more emotional before my period. Dr. Sherry Ross is amazing, there's another great book called "The Vagina Bible" by.
Dr. Jen Gunter.

[@Ohkeh640]
