How To Deal With INCREASED HUNGER & CRAVINGS before your period.

Hey everyone! Thank you for watching. I hope you learned why you experience increased hunger and cravings before your period and what you can do to support your body. As always, if you have any questions let me know. Please remember to be kind to yourself and that food is not your enemy! As our hormones fluctuate, we may feel hungrier and there is nothing wrong with that. If you are experiencing binge/compulsive eating please seek professional help.

Periods always detrack me from my Daily routine of workouts & diet 😢 but its ok its life 😉

I’m here because I ate 5 pieces of toast, 1 cup of ramen, 2 glasses of milk and rice after I already drink 3L of water 😒😒😒

[Carcarfranklin]

This actually helps, bc I feel crazy how much I can eat- and then other days I’m barely hungry at all.

[michellebee]

So that’s why I eat double the food I usually eat before my period and then I go back to eating normally...

I’ll binge eat a week before my period then get really bloated the week of. During my period I’m barely hungry or thirsty. This video helps a lot because now I don’t feel as bad when my weight fluctuates & my stomach isn’t as flat as I want it to be.

OMG I seriously started crying because I've been so hard on myself about my eating and it never dawned on me that I only get extremely hungry around the time of my cycle! Thank you so much! This was so helpful!

It happens 10 days before my period. I get hungry even when I’m not hungry? If that makes sense. I get mega bloating all over my body so it looks like I’ve gained weight. Then I get my period and my appetite is normal again and everything. It’s honestly such an annoying cycle

[cgriley]

watching as i'm happily stuffing my face

[SS-ints]

I gain5-10 lbs every month. Luteal phase is ruining my life. Thank you for your video.

[VivaLaShay]

I’m here because I had a breakfast sandwich, two donuts, fruit, chips, and candy. I never usually binge like this so your video definitely helped me feel less guilty lol

[MrsMMcG]

So interesting to know that it’s 2 weeks of tired/hungry/cravings. I had my 20 year old daughter watch this so she can better understand her body. I wish I knew this back in the day because it would have helped a lot. Thanks Crystal! ♥️

Whenever I'm eating medjool dates with peanut butter people around me know what's up 😂

Hey everyone! So I’m 2 days before my period and for breakfast I had tons of cereal with milk then went to bed and then I had tartiflette (French dish) with bread, cheese, side plates and 2 slices of toast with lots of biscoff.
I’m currently feeling sleepy, bloated and of course I feel bad…

[MaryMargaretteWhite-ektn]

Not only being more hungry…..I feel completely fatigued on top of “other” stuff.

[helenabivar]

I was super confused! I've been tracking my diet on cronometer for the past few days to be sure I'm making balanced meals, but yesterday and today around 4pm I had already eaten enough for the whole day and was again very hungry in the evening... Period is in about 5 days! Thank you for these videos on menstrual health and congratulations on your channel! You're a natural on camera 😎

[Aneesa.Zahra]

I'm here because I'm 5 days in after ovulation and I'm dang hungry af but I already ate, I hate feeling like this before my period.

[birgit.sowhat]

A "little" bit ... ha ha, that's funny, I can't stop eating during this time ;-) Really love your videos, thank's for the information, wasn't aware of it. Have a nice weekend

[sthembileamandapreciousdla]
