This is so funny! I just got done writing a private email back to someone on the forum and this was the subject!On your period you can gain up to 8 lbs in water weight.Most women dont know that! And of course you are hungrier, you just have to stock the house with things you can eat that are ready to eat at a moments notice.Thats how I came up with the spinach bread recipe,I crave spinach and steak during that time which makes sense, IRON!!I say those of you that havent sinned throw the first doughnut!!hahaha We all have our moments !Me,I don't drink so when my kids or family stress me out its a platter of french fries! I always regret it! It makes me sick as a dog! I just have to indulge at my pitty party!Which, thank god isn't that often!And by the way ladies you cant embarrass Doug, we have two daughters one 31 and one 24! There is nothing he hasnt talked to them about.
I think its important for all of us to educate ourselves on products that can help us during that time.Black Cohosh is a natural estrogen.Evening Primrose oil, Herbal Water Pills.These products are very cheap and taken properly can give you a ton of relief.But I think the best way we can help each other is to keep talking.
