Who else gets them? And what's your favorite?

So far I've craved chocolate, pickles, sprinkles (just sprinkles--I think there was something in the cornstarch), and sour cream doughnuts. My favorite was the sour cream doughnuts.

What about you ladies?

None. Body craves foods because it's lacking in something, e.g. chocolate is due to need for magnesium - I take multivitamins etc. pre-menstruation to help prevent any problems like cramps or heavy flow. But damn I now want some sour cream doughnuts!

When I have PMS, I crave foods with a lot of sodium or sugar in them.

Yes, I tend to crave for carbohydrates and sugars. Unfortunately, being on the gluten/corn free diet (Gluten/corn makes my traits worse) the crave is sometimes tricky to satisfy.

I like chocolate anytime, but when THAT time comes around I am a beast! :twisted:

I'm on a strict diet but dayum it's soooo hard especially now that I'm PMSing. Went out to eat with my sis and here was all this delicious food on the list, so I choose the salad. Then I get to the store, there's all this chocolate this and chocolate that. I avoid and get green tea. I'm still fighting the battle, I can't get CHOCOLATE off my mind. I wish there was a support group for this.

I crave carbohydrates. Potatoes, rice, pasta, and sugary food are common. If I notice that I am starting to eat spaghetti every day, and I make ongirii (Japanese rice balls) more than twice a week, I know my period is imminent. My mom notices that I am grumpy and I have mood swings, but as I am not as aware of my emotions, I do not notice that stuff unless someone points it out to me.

I typically crave sugar, but at that time of month, I crave salt, mostly on the form of potato chips. I will eat the whole bag if I am not careful.

sugar seems to be a theme here, why alter the trend? i really need sweets. like a lot. i am not 100% sure it is PMS though. especially chocolate and lebanese sweets. i try not to eat them because i worry about diabetes but i am weak, so weak... and i dont have one or two pieces or have it in moderation- i eat like an animal.
