2ww munchies

bumpuser9524622 · January 2014

Every cycle after O, I get ravenously hungry. There is never.enough.food. I realize that this has to do with progesterone (and my suppositories probably aren't helping), but please tell me I'm not the only one who eats all.day.long! I made a batch of (paleo) cookies and they were gone within 2 days (maybe that has more to do with willpower than my cycle though :P). Anyone else gets the 2ww munchies?

This is my first cycle on progesterone suppositories and I've definitely been more hungry than other cycles. I'm trying so hard to be good, but have been munching more than I should. The joys of hormones!

Interestingly, women burn more calories (and eat more) during the LP than during the follicular phase. I don't know the mechanism, but it could very well be progesterone-related. So it's not just you, it's a scientific fact!

@redtwizzelers that's really interesting!

@sunnydaysarehere hmmm I'm interested in this paleo cookie recipe!

Haha I get the same way! I'm starting progesterone next cycle so I'll have to make sure I have extra healthy snacks on hand. My dr said cut back on carbs & sugar yet that's what I want during my 2ww & AF.

Me! It is unreal. I made a pan of apple cinnamon muffins, nothing healthy about them, and had them gone within 2 days. Got groceries on Monday, and getting groceries while wanting to eat everything is a terrible idea! Needless to say, I came home with a lot of snacks that I am devouring so far. I haven't stepped on the scale in a couple weeks and I don't plan too now:p In my defense though, we have been living in a polar vortex since last week Tuesday. Which has caused the salon to close giving me the opportunity to be snowed in and eat all day. Winter isn't good for anyone!

I'm glad I'm not the only one!

@redtwizzlers - Good to know I'm burning at least some extra calories to balance out my binge eating!

@tvandewi - Here's the recipe. They're amazing!

Yep, I feel this way too. It's worse when I'm taking progesterone supplements.
