The week before the period can be a real struggle. Flung between a teary outburst and a feeding frenzy you may not know how to get through each day. It is common to have cravings as hormones fluctuate pre-menstrually. Giving in to those cravings too regularly can impact your health.  

‍

Here are some snack hacks to cheat those cravings:

• Swap ice-cream for coconut yoghurt
• Swap chocolate for the 80% cacao kind
• Swap pasta for brown rice
• Swap lollies for home-made protein balls full of dates and nuts
• Swap chips for home-made popcorn For extreme mood changes before your period, it is important to ensure you are eating a wholefoods diet full of vegies and fibre. See your Naturopath to have an herbal and nutritional program developed that will put you back on track.
