Magnesium supplementation helped me with my mood but not with my food compulsion/increased appetite, especially for chocolate

My Experience

Post Body

I’ve been taking a magnesium supplement for a month now and I actually saw great improvements in my mood. But I always read that “you crave chocolate because cocoa is magnesium rich. So what your body is actually craving for is magnesium, not chocolate” so I was hoping that my sweet tooth would calm down and it didn’t. I still crave for sweets, especially chocolate and I feel hungry all the time and I can’t stop eating. Does anyone have any theory on why chocolate is a thing for PMS and PMDD sufferers and apparently it’s not about the magnesium? It ruins my diet every single month (I’m an athlete).
