food cravings

I have heard women friends talk about menopausal food cravings before and hadn't thought much about it, as I hadn't experienced such a thing. Now, however, I am going through menopause and I am experiencing the most overpowering food cravings I have ever had. To make it worse, the cravings are for things I don't usually eat - animal foods, sugar, etc. Are there any tricks to overcome this?? Please don't tell me the psychological stuff because that does not work! I do know that staying away from too much fat alleviates some of the sugar cravings and that works pretty well. What else? HELP!!

Hi sweterson
How about green smoothies?
They have helped me through cravings.
Fruit and greens, the best of both worlds!

Hello

Maybe some homeopathy or acupunture could help.

What kinds of foods are you cravings? If you have a desire to eat junk foods (pastries, cookies, ice cream, etc) try eating more fruit until you get full.

Hi, here's what helped me. Lots of sweet fruits. They keep you feel full and happy. I literally stopped bread, noodles, pasta etc after I started eating lots of sweet fruit.

Take care
