Why Do You Get Hungry Before Your Period?

May 25, 2009

in General Health

Studies show that food intake (and presumably hunger) increases in the days before menstruation. Metabolism can jump as well, up to 16 per cent. Why? The hormone progesterone that’s released before menstruation causes the body to heat up and expend more energy, resulting in a need for more fuel. If you’re like the average women, you consume an extra 300 calories a day in the week before your period. And you may need every morsel, so don’t hold back make meals full ad snacks substantial. As for that chocolate craving? Also take care of your skin using anti aging products like tripeptinon. Go ahead and down a couple of squares, because you’ll probably burn them off. PMS meltdown, averted.

Ok.  So I wasn't just imagining things…

Whew!  I was beginning to think that I was just a pig!  Glad to know that getting that hungry a week before my period is the norm!
