I ladies! I hope you can help shed some light and some advise. The week before I start my period I have this uncontrable urge to eat and eat everything in site. I have been weight training for 3 years now and starting to look really good but I feel like I am blowing 2 weeks worth when this time of the month hits. Are there any suggestions or things I can do to cut these cravings. I have a tendancey to gain about 3-4lbs in these 2 weeks (week before period and week of). Thanks

this mite be a bit off topic to ur question but i have been like that for the last 2 weeks too! im 16 so yerr bit different hehe :) its really making me loose focus because ill be thinkin healthy fitness stuff like what to do and what i shod do abbout it...then i see this junk food or somehting and i just start eating and eating! i dont evn realise im eating it though..its like i go into sum sorta daze haha and evn if im telling myslf u shodnt be doing this i don't stop! i hate it hate it hate it! ive put on actually alot more though...10 pnds (although its been over a longa space then the 2 weeks) ive heard about this hypnosis way of getting rid of the cravings but i havnt really bothered to try! you shod just try to stai stress free...if theres something on your mind thats confusing or stressing or making u upset normally we stop listenin to our minds wen theres food....cause u dont have to think wen u eat! its the easiest relaxingg thing thats why we do it i rekon! to stop thinking!

That is what we get stuck with............I get similar pms, some days eating everything in site, see any commercial on tv and I want that food........days I don't eat at all, days I am sooo tired I sleep tons, days I cannot sleep and am wide eyed all night.........10 lbs of water gains, feeling like an egg...........what I find works best is to be very regular with vitamins/minerals, attention to diet and training has to be focused on, avoid the sugars and caffiene and fats and you lessen the symptoms, WHAT A VICIOUS cycle hey??? You do your best and that is all you can do, sometimes you just cannot control the hormones but I do feel better when I am able to minimize the binging and bad foods and am able to stick with the eating and training schedules.

What about aches and pains? I get joint pains/aches during PMS...I get super super clumsy and super super tired during this time as well. Sometimes I am unable to finish a class/ workout sessions because I am so tired and my muscles are aching. Would tylenol help or something similiar?

Wow, you ladies have it tough! I'm glad I only have a slight chocolate craving the day before and the first day. No aches at all, although I used to have so much pain I'd spend the first day cuddled up in bed! Remedy: You'll laugh, but since I started on the Pill, no more pain, hardly any bloating (some, but not as much), no pms at all, and just that little bit of craving.
Since I don't want to blow 3 weeks' worth of training with that "detail", I make a healthy chocolate fudge (recipe by Mike Geary) and have a few squares of that. It's made form 100% cocoa cooking chocolate, sweetened only by a little liquid stevia and the handful of added raisins, has nuts and peanut butter, cocnut milk, bran ... yeah, I think that's all ... so it's actually impossible to eat more than 2 1-inch squares!
As for training, I'll either not have any energy and just do some basics, or I blow every personal record to pieces. Nothing in between :)
If you have too much of those cravings, consider a magnesium supplement, it normally helps.

omg i am so with you. I am 2 wks out from contest and cycle (I get 2 weeks of various pms stuff), the fatigue and cravings set in the past day or so, insomnia, before that........cramps. but being pre contest I am so tried................especially being my bloat would occur right at the contest day.
whats a bigger piss off for me is i do not want kids.............I suffer for nothing!
