When you're on your period & in the time leading up to it your magnesium levels drop, & sugary foods like chocolate are rich in magnesium, so you start to crave them then. This "feel-good" hormone our brain produces called serotonin also drops around that time & that's one of the reasons we get cranky / have PMS. Sugary foods totally boost your serotonin levels, so that's why you get all blissed out when you have a brownie then.
So, it's not just that you're craving chocolate, you really have a biological need for it!!!!!! : )
Because you are a silly hormone driven female.
Your prostaglandins are going crazy! I always crave mexican food! Totally not fair but normal!
Yay for Maya, she's smart and she's everywhere.
