Cravings, Comfort & Control đŤ
Â

The Emotional Truth About Food and Your Cycle
We donât talk enough about cravings. The late-night chocolate, the salty snacks, the sudden urge for carbs. Most of the time we joke about it, or worse â we judge ourselves for it.
But cravings arenât weakness. Theyâre information. Theyâre your bodyâs way of saying, somethingâs shifting, I need more support.
đ¸ Cravings as Signals
When your hormones fluctuate, serotonin drops, and your body looks for ways to bring balance. Thatâs why sugar, carbs, and comfort foods suddenly feel irresistible.
đ Cravings arenât loss of control.
⨠Theyâre biological signals.
đ¸ Theyâre your cycle talking to you.
đ Comfort Without Shame
The guilt spiral is what really hurts â not the chocolate itself. We beat ourselves up, label cravings as âbad,â and turn them into something heavier than they need to be.
But food is comfort. Food is connection. And during PMS, comfort isnât indulgence â itâs self-care.
⨠Rituals That Reframe Cravings
Instead of resisting or judging, cravings can be woven into rituals:
-
đŤ Honour them â enjoy what youâre craving without guilt.
-
đ¸ Balance them â pair sweet with protein or fibre to keep energy stable.
-
đ Add support â magnesium-rich foods, hydration, and two capsules to help steady mood and hormones.
-
đŤ Make it mindful â savour the moment instead of rushing through it.
đ¸ Control Without Control
The secret is this: control doesnât mean restriction. Control means listening. It means giving your body what itâs asking for, while offering it the balance it needs.
đ Cravings arenât the enemy.
⨠Theyâre the reminder that your body has rhythms.
đ¸ And when you listen, you find balance â without shame.
đŤ Cravings, Comfort & Control
Your body knows what it needs. Sometimes thatâs greens and water. Sometimes itâs chocolate at midnight. Both are valid. Both are part of your rhythm.
The power isnât in resisting cravings. The power is in listening to them, and giving yourself permission to find comfort without guilt.
