LisaLulu Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 I've been coasting through this second whole 30 effortlessly and today on day 20 I am suddenly ravenous, unsatisfied and kill all the things. I did the math and realized it's also day 23 of my cycle and I'm generally starving the week before my period. Anything compliant I can eat that will satisfy this insatiable hunger? It doesn't help that I'm also breastfeeding and have been exercising a lot more than usual the past few weeks. Link to comment

LisaLulu Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'm eating a giant bowl of spaghetti squash and sauce for breakfast and am going to head out and buy some sweet potatoes when I'm done! Link to comment
nycsarah Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I find I really crave red meat right before my period - and the grass fed beef that I've been sautéing is soooo good and deeply satisfying! When I feel like NOTHING will satisfy me that's what I go to these days. Link to comment
LisaLulu Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 I craved beef like crazy during my second pregnancy. I would lay awake at night wanting steak so badly I couldn't sleep. During my first pregnancy I craved strawberries, I had to go buy a pound of them every night and eat them. PMS week I want starch. Last night I grated and fried a sweet potato into hash with dinner and it was fabulous. I'm going to do it again today. Link to comment
