| You certainly learn a lot about your body and your eating habits on this diet! Having just gone thru my 2nd TOM on the Beach, I think I have discovered that the day before and day of my period I am starving!!!!! Nothing really seems to satisfy my hunger. Does anyone else experience this? And if so does anyone have any solutions? |

| I get very hungry about 3 days before my TOM, and during the entire week of it. How ever, I only seem to want carbs, so I eat veggies. Cruncy veggies with salad dressing as a constant snack, are like eating chips to me. I eat nuts to. Most of the time more than allowed, but it keeps me from eating things that I shouldn't (like chips, candy, pretzels, etc). |

This happens to me, too. This is the most reliable indication that my period is about to start. I usually just eat more, maybe 25% more than usual, and drink more caffeine-free tea. It's only one or maybe two days for me.
If someone has some ideas though I would love to hear them.

TOM is over for me now and my appetite is returning to normal. I lasts the entire time for me. |

| I definatly am more hungry during TOM. Must be hormonal or something but i'm craving sweets and i'm hungry all the time! TOM is my weakness, I can reach out for anything, good or bad! :evil: |

Have you tried the SBD friendly cocoa? I've used it before when dieting and it pushes the CHOCOLATE button too.
1c skim milk-roughly
1 c boiling hot water-roughly
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (the unsweetened stuff you bake with)
1 or 2 packets sweetener
__
mix the cold milk with powders, it'll be lumpy and sticky. Slowly add boiling water and keep stirring to mix.
My TOM month is coming too, and I'm hoping I don't get the usual cravings and inability to push the I'M FULL button. Good luck, if you/me/us can make it thru without cheating, man, what a wonderful thing! |

Tell me about it! I eat everything that's in site during the TOM!
You ladies have to check out this website I found-- daretowearwhite.com. It is GREAT. Funny and it gives a hilarious spin on our period.

| I have been nothing but hungry for the past few days. I want to eat constantly. I have been eating WAY too many nuts then allowed but it is better then chips or candy so...I believe my TOM is less then a week away. This will be my first since starting SB so I am hoping that is why I have been eating like a hog. |

| I am the same way. I came to the Health and Medical Issues thread looking for this topic even. I'm starting Phase 1 tomorrow and I hope my TOM doesn't throw it all off for me. I don't know how true this is but I have heard that your metabolism speeds up during your time and maybe that is why we get so hungry? |

| I think I read somewhere that many women need anywhere from 300-500 calories more during their TOM - now, whether that is PER DAY, or for the entire 3-7 days (however long it lasts for you!), I'm not sure...but yes, I read a snippet somewhere stating that caloric needs to go up somewhat. Geez, I should bookmark these things! |
