🍫 Cravings suddenly louder before your period?

Estrogen drops and progesterone rises during the luteal phase. This can increase hunger and carbohydrate cravings — even if you're on tirzepatide.

• Stay hydrated
• Prioritize protein
• Manage sodium (to reduce water retention)
• Keep your injection schedule consistent

Most fluctuations settle after your cycle resets.
