Cruising along...

Been doing very well on my diet this week. Hitting 1400 consistantly, except yesterday. As usual, my period has me starving for at least one day. And I swear, I could eat 25,000 calories that day and still be hungry. I settled for 1800 worth of all good foods, but just too many meals to work out right.

I'm curious why that is... what purpose that would serve. I could see being more hungry when you're ovulating, in preparation for pregnancy perhaps. But during your period? What the heck? Is it to replace lost iron and minerals? Is it just a side-effect of hormones? I'll have to look that up I guess! Any ideas?
