[quote=Anonymous]I think as women we are biologically wired to have food noise. “Women often experience increased carbohydrate cravings during the luteal phase (pre-period) due to plummeting progesterone and estrogen, which lowers serotonin and dopamine levels. The brain craves carbs to boost these "feel-good" neurotransmitters, often leading to increased consumption of sweets, starches, and sugary foods to stabilize mood and energy” “Many women experience increased hunger, cravings, or metabolic changes around ovulation (typically days 10–14 of a cycle). This is primarily driven by a surge in estrogen followed by a rise in progesterone, which can increase calorie needs and trigger cravings for carbohydrates or salty foods. Some may also feel hungrier due to a slightly higher metabolic rate“[/quote]
