It's nearing that time of the month, and I have a hunger like you wouldn't believe. I am not talking about cravings or being peckish - those I can control - I am talking about stomach growling, ravenous, I-will-cook-a-full-meal, a litre- of-water-is-not-helping hunger.
I am on careful diet as I'd like to shed some stress-related weight, and these three days are always a hard struggle, not to mention the headache that comes along with it. I know that blood sugar drops in the second half of my cycle, so as someone who already has low-blood sugar, it's even lower.
Anyone with useful advice that won't pack on the calories, or personal tips? Google tells me the ins and out of the hunger, but aside from complex carbs, nothing much. I just would like not be starving any longer.
Thank you
ETA: I've received some PMs that seems to think I have lots to lose, so just to clarify, we are talking about 10 pounds. I do amply fine outside of those 3 days where I am truly, honestly, really hungry. All. The. Damn. Time.
Also, although I did mention it in later posts, I do have hypothyroidism (not hyper). It's very much under control - at least it was 2 weeks ago when I went for my complete blood-work.
