Post subject: Its the progesterone falling and Oestrogen rising that triggers it, for most women they either crave carbs or sugar ,so pizza,crisps and chocolate would be normal cravings
The best way to try and stave it off is supposed to be eating complex carbs that fill you up more , so lots of wholegrains and avoid the chocolate (easier said than done) as the sugars can make the cravings worse because it causes sharp rises and falls in blood sugars 
Saying all that i have been known to eat a full family size bar of dairy milk to myself just before AF so i just make sure I don't have stuff like that in now so I can't eat it xx Posted: Tue Jan 22, 2013 9:36 am
Post subject: Haha I am exactly the same, I always know I am due on because I will be roaming around the kitchen opening all of the cupboards looking for something to eat but never really knowing what I want!!

Post subject: Knowing what causes it doesn't help me not do it either
thats why I just don't buy stuff I know I will eat now
I'll have a bowl of cereal if I get the sugar cravings and that calms it down for a coule of hours , if I gave in to my cravings some months I'd put about 5 or 6 lbs on and then have to starve myself the other 3 weeks to lose it again xx
