Why do I crave chocolate when I have my period?

Question

I eat normally during most of the month and not overweight, but as soon as it hits I have to binge on chocolate.

Answer 1

The reason for the craving of the chocolate when you have your period in part has to do with the rise in hormone levels at that time.  Also, sometimes when we crave something it can be an indication of being low on something vital to the body like a particular vitamin or mineral (an example only).

I would recommend checking with your doctor as well to see what they say.
