Controlling hunger when AF is here
Any ideas?
I've trying to lose weight, and generally am doing pretty well with my plan to cut calories from my diet... until yesterday.
I'm hungry. Starving. All. Day. Long. And then it dawns on me. AF is due. In fact, she showed up this morning.
I'm not talking cravings, I'm talking actually feeling hungry. Stomach growling, if-you-don't-give-in-and-eat-your-stomach-hurts hunger.
I didn't really think about this when I planned my calorie count. But it's like this every month. I rarely get cravings, but for 3-4 days a month I am super-tired, and just starving all day long.
Any tips?
Are there any appetite control supplements that work? do you think it's worth taking one?
TIA!

Re: Controlling hunger when AF is here
I am sure you already know what I am about to say, but I will say it anyhow. When my AF is in town I am the same way, actually for me it's the week before she pays a visit. I just try to eat all day long so that I am never really feeling hungry. I eat oatmeal for breakfast because I can really tell that it stays with me longer than cereal or anything else. then I eat fruit or something a few hours later, then a lite lunch, a few snacks here and there throughout the work day and then my dinner and another snack before bed. When I say snack I mean some pretzels or some veggies or a 100 cal bag of popcorn and my favorite nite time snack is a FF fruit popsicle!
I know everything I said is common knowledge, but it really does help keep me from over eating, expecially when AF is visiting!
