Many women's biggest non physical side effect during their cycle is the fear of leakage that limits their fashion choices. Some opt to wear all black everything, while others dare to wear tan.  We sometimes go for comfort above all else, or sometimes we choose FASHION OVER EVERYTHING, we are women and we celebrate all of our choices ( food fashion or otherwise)  during the week we are reminded we are all grown up and in working order . Whats your cycle style ?

Food cravings, what do they really mean?

Most women crave a particular food group just before and during their cycle. The most stereotypical food group is junk food, chocolate to be more specific. But not every woman PMS's the same. Heres a quick break down of what different cravings for different foods mean and what your body is trying to tell you through your tastebuds!



Chocolate: 

If you often crave chocolate before your period, you may have a magnesium deficiency, although  some may argue its iron that your body needs. The good news is chocolate is one of the richest food sources of magnesium and iron, both hard to absorb minerals most women  can't seem to get enough of. If chocolate is the main dish for your Private Part-y, try  dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa to make sure your sugar intake  is low.  Whenever possible talk to your doctor/nutritionist about other foods that you can incorporate to keep you from OD'ing on  sugar filled chocolate during the rest of the month. 

Carbs: 

 Bagels, French fries, cookies, begets,  more cookies, croissants, soft drinks, cookies with coconut flakes,  biscuits, salt and vinegar chips, and oh yea cookies. Carbs are the drug of choice for some women, they literally feel happier once they've stuffed their face with the yeasty treats because breads are chalk full of  Serotonin. This sophisticated chemical is actually neurotransmitter your body produces from certain amino acids to help you feel relaxed. If you are lacking these amino acids you can't produce enough serotonin, meaning your PMS parties probably suck.  Although carbohydrates can  give you a temporarily pick me up, eating more carbohydrates to elevate your mood creates a vicious cycle of cravings. Try to Eat foods rich in tryptophan, found mainly in animal protein as well as nuts, to get your serotonin high, not your scale numbers.
