Best Answer

PMS may cause abnormalities in blood sugar levels and hence cause cravings for certain foods in particular high fats and high sugar foods. A study conducted by a PhD student at the university of Adelaide (1999) confirmed that there is a link between food cravings/increased appetite and PMS. The women who were part of the study noted that their appetite increased during PMS and cravings for high sugar and high fat foods increased, as well increasing the frequency at which food was consumed. Some women almost doubled their normal daily Kilojoules.
