I don't know if this will be of any help to you but I, too, suffer from the monthly "blow my diet out of the water" symptoms, too. Typically, it HAS to be chocolate, an ice cream sundae - the most decadent thing I can get my hands on. During the month of June, however, my husband and I were doing South Beach together. I gotta tell ya that while I was on that program, my PMS cravings went down to zero. I had no problem blowing through those tough first days of my period without anything chocolate or sweet. Fruit was enough to satisfy me. Fast forward to July, when I slowly started going back to my old evil ways and the cravings were back and there I was in front of the DQ drive- through, ordering a Brownie Volcano. I do have to say that it tasted sooo gooood! But that's the only thing I can thing of - going low or almost no carb might be the key to getting off the PMS merry-go-round. It's tough, though! x(
