in Chit-Chat
off and on, i notice that i crave certain foods i would never have even considered eating before i started my weight loss journey, and i want to know if anyone else has had this happen..i have really been wanting to make stuffed peppers. there have been a few more i can't seem to think of at this very moment, but just now, i was looking thru some low sodium cookbooks from the library, and i found a recipe for fried green tomatoes, and i salivated all over myself:blushing: well, almost..i have tried them before, and never wanted to try them again, but now i really want some..i want to know if yall have had this happen, and what it is that you have that hankering for

    Nuts!!!!!

    I never use to eat any nuts (infact when I was pregnant I had an allergy) BUT since starting this it appears I can't get enough of them..... almonds, walnuts I am afraid to buy others am concerned that that will be ALL I eat!!

    Dt. Dr. Pepper!!! I want it ALLLLLLLL the time! As for foods in particular-not really. I'm also doing a study called Setting Captives Free--The Lords Table & it talks about those "cravings" and for some reason it's hitting me that most of my cravings are related to something emotional...now that I'm learning to deal with my emotions in a healthy way I don't really know what foods I like. Although last night & Monday night...if I seen a cow, I might have just begged someone to make it into a steak for me! So maybe...it's Dr. Dr. Pepper and Steak! Sounds like a good meal to me! :bigsmile:

    It seems as if the healthier I eat, the more my body craves those foods. Having started my Journey a year ago...I now crave the fresh
    fruits and Veggies which is a good thing. It gets easier to ignore the bad carbs and reach for healthier choices. I get amazed that I eat these things when I never use to. :smile:

    I never ate broccoli EVER until about two hours after my 2nd child was born. I hemorraged and lost a lot of blood. I craved broccoli and have eaten it cooked and raw every week since then. Broccoli is high in iron and after the blood loss my body told me that I needed it. Listen when you are hungry for healthy things. Your body is probably craving a nutrient.:happy:
    To those craving choc chip cookies salt etc. That is not a craving that is lust and we all know nothing good comes from lusting after that which we should not have. Be strong.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
