Hi there, I hope you are well. Hormonal fluctuations can happen due to various reasons - PCOS, uterine fibroids, thyroid, weight loss, weight loss, Strenuous workouts, lack of essential nutrients ( deficiencies), etc. - Hormonal fluctuations can affect your appetite. - With hormonal fluctuations, you are likely to crave certain foods very often, especially if your blood sugars aren't balanced.. you will crave for sugar-based foods often. - You are likely to overeat or undereat , based on how you are feeling. - You may avoid eating in case you feel bloated. - You may find it difficult to sleep, and hence, midnight cravings can be more common. You are likely to reach out for comfort foods ( pizza, burger, pastries, chocolates) Hence, in case you have symptoms like mood swings, hair -thinning, hair loss, acne, increased cravings, weight gain, sudden weight loss, it's best to see the doctor and get your blood work done. I hope this helps :) take care.
