Red Meat

I do not eat very much red meat. Never have, I can eat a couple bites of a stake, a hamburger as long as the pattie isn't very thick.

But once a month I get major cravings for red meat. I can eat, over the coarse of 3 to 4 days, 2 pounds of meat. I can down a whole 8 oz steak or a double bacon cheese burger in one setting.

It amazed Dave the first time I did this. Dave had been gone all day and hadn't eaten anything, so we went for a walk to Apollo Burger. Dave ordered a double bacon cheese burger meal. He eats the fries first, he loves the fries there. Meanwhile, (I had already eaten dinner), I ate half his burger. He just stared at me. " you said you wanted a bite, Not the whole thing, You don't eat meat."

So over the next couple of days I craved hamburgers, so Dave would go with me and we would eat a hamburger.

Fast forward 5-7 days and my period starts with no warning, no tiredness, no cramping. It was wonderful.

So the next month we tried it again. Same thing wonderful periods.

I skipped eating one month, the craving wasn't very strong and I just never went to get a hamburger. (I have given up on trying to make home made hamburgers they suck.)

Worse period I had had in 4 months. I was wasted, and cramped for 2 days. It sucked.

So My sister explained it to me when I told her about it. (I just hadn't thought about it.) I am anemic, have been all my life. Red meat is full of iron. Obviously, the lack of iron was causing problems during my periods.

If you put a Double bacon cheese burger in front of me right now I could probably eat 2 bites before it got to be to much for me.

It's quite funny.
