Anyone have any success with supplements to control the increased hunger and cravings 7 - 10 days PRIOR to that TOM (time of month)?? Those 7-10 days sabbotage all the work and control I've had all month and always has. :cry: :agree: :agree: :cry: :cry:

If it's sweet things you crave, try some L-glutamine. Many people report it manages the cravings for them. If it's just hunger, then you ARE allowed to eat. Just choose protein and fat but not carbs. A tin of tuna with mayo is often effective then.

Sweet cravings really don't last if you eat protein instead. And you will still be on plan and lose weight.

Magnesium - take a cal/mag combo - and magnesium rich foods are supposed to help. I like having a can of tuna with a large blob of mayonnaise. :)
