People of loseit who menstruate - how do you handle PMS and a calorie deficit?

Hey all. So, I’ve been doing really well overall in maintaining a calorie deficit day to day and have lost 16kgs since January but one thing always derails my progress every month without fail; PMS week. I know it doesn’t effect everyone the same way but I get INSANELY hungry during the week before my period and I can’t fight it. I just shove in carb after carb. Usually at night, even after a reasonable day of two solid meals. I’ve tried upping my calorie limit to allow for some extra food but I alllways go over. I’m exercising regularly, if that’s relevant- gym 4 - 5 times a week.

So my question is, for people who get effected by PMS in the same way, how do you control your stupid urges and insane hunger so your progress isn’t super effected??
