Menstrual cycle cravings

Dude...I'm about to start my cycle, and I majorly craving cookie dough!! Help!!! I'm at 3 months and have lost 42 pounds, 60 pre-op, and I feel like I'm falling into old habits again. What can I do?! PS, here's my 2 month before and after! :-D

Oh boy wish I could help you...I am newly out and had a cycle a week before my surgry and 2 weeks after and I had cravings also and couldn't have most of what I wanted...you look great

Syntrax has a couple cookie flavors that might help with your craving. They have double-stuffed cookie (tastes Oreo-ish), mint cookie (tastes like a thin mint), Peanut Butter cookie...I'm not sure how many different ones they had (those were the ones I got in my mixed sample. They might help your craving.

(just finished my visit from Aunt Flow...luckily I'm only 17 days out, so really, couldn't eat even if I did crave. I usually crave chocolate, and I got chocolate Calcium chewables to help alleviate any cravings in that direction.)

Good luck!

I keep sugar free chocolate frosting in refrig and if I need a fix I get a little spoonful !

Thanks for the great ideas, guys! I feel like when I'm on my period, all bets are off! Hahaha! :)

I found a cookie dough protein bar it has many carbs but yes I ate half one day and half the next !
