Ladies trying to get fit how do you handle period cravings?

[overana]

The week of my period is always an off or walking week for me. I have fallen prey to the days where I wake up with no cramps, work out and end up rolling in pain. With this drop in activity the logical decision is to eat healthy, sadly I do not. I do not go on a junk food binge either but a few cookies and waffles with too much syrup are my best friends on the first day. How do you handle your period cravings?

I drink water.

I noticed I have crazy cravings when I search up recipes. So I only do it while fasting (religious purposes) or before it's time to eat.

Drinking water helps.

I started to drink more water after I read that it is recommended to drink cold water in sips.

When I am hungry , I try to see what actually I am hungry for and eat that in moderation.

I don't like to be strict with my diet. I don't even like calling my eating habit as a diet since that makes me feel as if I am tied down.

Eating healthy (and I am tryin to follow Muhammad (SAW) diet , ) is what keeps my body in shape and I think it helps my skin as well.

you drink cold water when you have cramps?

[YaBaba]

Not ice cold but not warm either

Keep very hydrated. I eat things like croissants so they are not so bad but fill me. You can eat a lot of food just make sure it's good for you. Worst case if you want chocolate or something, do chocolate covered strawberries. Don't drive yourself insane. Give in a tiny bit in the right way and it will get easier each time. Good luck.

If a woman is on her period I bring her chocolate and then I want to have sex with her to relieve her stress and cramps.

When I had a period I drank lots of water and if you're craving junk food eat healthier versions of it. Pancake batter has some substitutes to make it healthier, or you could just eat a bunch of nuts to fill you up so you don't want to eat.

Drink a lot of water and keep busy otherwise ill go from not craving anything to eating a pint of ice cream fast.

If I want it, I have it. Then I walk and jog it off. Eat all the chocolate you want
