ravenous during menstruation?

chicorychicory Raw Newbie

okay… I’ve seriously been eating non stop for the last two days. and it’s not just appetite either. My stomach is growling for food, no matter how much I eat or drink! it seems to have come out of nowhere. Could it have something to do with the start of my period?

    me too. New moon coming up… most of us raw foodies are connected with nature and therefore ovulate with the full moon. Cool, huh?! Women unite!!

  • Yes, you typically need more calories and fat during that time for your body to complete the menstruation preparation and processes. I’d be surprised if you weren’t like this before on a diet including cooked food….is this a new phenomenon for you?

    not really sure… I think since I started this way of eating, I have just become more thoughtful of what my body is going through. I used to get sugary cravings… just don’t remember my tummy feeling this empty!

  • Waves hand around I wonder how many of us are moonsynched

    I’ve been chomping away like mad… first month raw vegan (former veggie) and I could merrily sit in front of the fridge and plough my way through it all!

    I figured out why i was so hungry! I have about 25 pounds of peaches from a pick your own orchard, and have been trying to eat them before they go bad. I had no idea a peach is only about 40 calories! I’ve been mostly stuffing myself with like, 8 a day, Plus the last few days I haven’t really been eating as many nuts or seeds, so although I’ve been stuffing myself, my meals have been really low in calories.

  • I get the worst cooked food cravings when I am PMSing.. It is all I can do to make it through that week raw.. I am hoping as I heal, it will get better..

    I guess I am in sync with the Moon too.. as today was my start.. :) Very interesting.
