How to tell why i crave so much junk food before i'm due two weeks before my period?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormone drop: Two weeks before coming on the next menstrual is when an egg has matured and is popping. With the maturation a steady rise in estrogen levels is going along. When the egg pops, the estradiol levels dip, while at the same time the part of the ovary that held the egg starts to put out progesterone. This temporary "upheaval" in hormone production could make you crave junk food.
