Hello, all! I've recently been on a high raw diet, and I am transitioning into 100% raw. It's been really great and I love all of the food that I'm eating, but I have had some extreme cravings due to it being that time of the month for me. I completely caved. I blame this partially on having barely any raw food left in my fridge, and my mom buying soy ice cream, tortilla chips, and popcorn, my three most missed vegan cooked foods. To say the least, I completely binged. And i felt content for about 5 minutes. I feel horrible now, and it really isn't just mental. Though it was mentally comforting, physically i feel sluggish and gross now. My question for all the raw divas out there is : what are some of the things you go to when you're on your period? Some comforting foods that will satiate my severe carve cravings. Any help is greatly appreciated- Thank you!

cravings for chocolate are undeniable and so fun to fulfill in my opinion but they can also stem from a lack of magnesium so if you up your magnesium from supplements or seaweeds or greens this can help if you would rather not eat the chocolate. Do this before you know the cravings will start coming. Also some helpful tips during this time that i have learned is to be careful about eating broccoli during this time it can increase the bloating, eat parsley it can help with the emotions and water retention (which are connected) and although we all crave salty things try to stir clear of too much salt as it will add to the water retention. raw chips are very exciting and are great for this time bu without the salt I am soooo exciting to read all the other amazing suggestions!!
