Why do women crave fattening foods before our period?!


Question: Right now I am eating a semi-healthy dinner: 5-cheese lasagna, & salad & I'm going to have a fat slice of chocolate cake afterwards. Earlier today I had a cheeseburger, I am also PMS-ing & I'm just wondering why we women experience heightened cravings for fattening foods/high carb foods?

It varies. Sometimes, I don't crave anything at all. Sometimes, it's sugary junk. And sometimes, it's cheeseburgers (which actually does make some sense -- red meat has iron, which I'm about to lose a lot of).
