A question- does anyone else get really hungry during/before/after their period? I just started mine today, and I can't stop eating. I'm not certain why, but I'm worried it might be a problem with not getting enough nutrients, especially because I've wanted meat all day. Any advice? Should I be worried?

I totally do, especially before or on the first day. I cannot get enough junk food. So I don't think it's nutrient-related, at least for me. It's sodium- and sugar-related. But then, when I crave meat, which is rare (I'm a vegetarian except for sushi = a bad vegetarian) it's always for the sodium content. I have a salt problem.

Meat has a lot of protein and iron in it. Since you're losing some blood, your body could be looking at iron deficiencies just around your period. You might want to consider catering to that craving.

I don't eat meat. I feel okay most of the time. But sometimes during my period, I REALLY crave it, and so I listen, and typically feel better. That's what's worked for me. :)
