Like many of a lot of you, I used to feel frustrated if my hunger level skyrocketed ?during that time of the month. I also felt like I “shouldn’t need” the extra food. ?♀️But that’s a total lie. If you’re feeling extra hungry there is a reason. Here are two?:⠀
. ⠀
⭐️Estrogen is lower during your period, which suppresses your appetite. It increases as your period ends, when we might feel our hunger “leveling off”.⠀
. ⠀
⭐️Um, hello??, your body is kinda doing a lot of work! ?Makes sense to need some extra energy to fuel that.⠀
. ⠀
So, the next time you feel frustrated at the extra hunger remember that your body is a smart thang! ? If it’s asking for more energy, there is likely a reason. And there is NO need to feel guilty about that! ??Our hunger levels ebb and flow. It’s normal for them to not be the same every single day of our lives. Especially on our periods!⠀
