It's a metabolism thing. Studies have found that women actually do burn more calories right before TOM.
So it's not in your head.
The problem is, you burn like 300 more calories, but you EAT like 3,000! (Just kidding. But this study did find that women ate more than what they were burning.)
I handle it by eating very low carb things, like some extra bacon and eggs, or a steak, or a big salad. I stay away from treats, and as long as my hunger is satisfied, I don't think of treats.
Some people make low carb treats, and find that satisfies them.
You have to find out what works for you.
