During that time you lose a lot of blood, therefore you lose a lot of iron and other nutrients.. So your appetite increases so you can have enough energy.. That's why you crave sweet and salty things - they are very energetic. In my case, my appetite increases in the week before I have my period. However, during the time that I'm actually on my period, the cramps and nausea that I experience makes it very difficult for me to eat properly, and I tend to feel very weak (people in my circumstances are usually at risk of having anaemia, especially if they have a heavy flow)... So keep in mind that every person has a different way of 'coping' with this awful part of their lives, but the explanation is the same for everyone...Lol
Because your body REALLY does need extra calories at this time!! Honestly!! Just try not to get them in the form of rubbish food!!
That's because your metabolism increases in the week up to and during your period.
maybe because you're body's being drained of blood, so you're tired and you want to eat for energy
because you have lost your egg
well - i like black pudding but ...........................................
cause when ure on ure period u need an extra 500 calories a day
i think it got something to do with your iron levels.
because of blood loss and bodies increased temperature, im the very same i eat like a horse when TOM (time of month) visits!! chocolate chrisps you name it!! all because lf TOM the bollox
