Everyone has cravings for something.
I find that I crave a certain kind of food which will then extended into cravings on a daily basis over a period of time.
I have started to refer to these times as ‘phood phases’.
Does anyone else notice this happening to them?
I realised this when I started craving and eating fish anytime I could get my hands on it. I would guess that my ‘phish phood phase’ lasted about a month. I then moved on to grilled cheese sandwiches which lasted about 2 weeks. Then it was baked potatoes into jalapeno poppers, milk, Jacks frozen pizza, yogurt, granola, bagels with strawberry cream cheese. I now find myself going through a cheese phase, but I always like cheese.
I do try to make sure that I am eating as healthy as possible and not just eating one thing for weeks at a time. So I am just wondering what kind of ‘phood phases’ you have all gone through.
first it was eggs, then it was rice(especially chilie cheese rice), and then it was tuna, and thats as far back as i can remember haha. im not too keen at remembering things.
but right now i really like peanuts, anything made with peanuts.
also, i put ranch dressing on almost everything.
yum
I am stuck in a noodle continuum. Dumplings, pot stickers, ramen, udon, farfalle, fusilli, linguini, it’s a cycle from one coast of EurAsia to the other and back.
yeah, like sometimes when I eat a certain kind of food a lot, I get tired of it…I switch between bananas and oranges a lot. Right now I’m eating like four oranges a day, and prolly one banana, but in a week or two that’ll reverse, because I’ll get tired of oranges.
yeah… case in point… cosmic brownies and banana chips…
banachips becuase i used to only get them like once a year at random places… then my mom started buying them so i ALWAYS ate them… now i cant eat more than a few at a time…
and cosmic brownies just cause i would eat like 3 in one sitting… it was gross so i stopped.
I crave food when I’m hungry, but usually nothing in particular. Sometimes I just arbitrarily pick a restaurant because I can’t make up my mind what I really want to eat.
There are things I eat often, but I wouldn’t say I crave them. I often eat a banana and drink OJ as part of my breakfast. I often make myself a bean and cheese burrito for lunch.
I’m going through a berry phase right now. Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries… Mmmmm… unfortunately they are not in season around here, so they cost quite a bit at the market. Oh well, I’m still looking for some pomegranate fruit at the store.
My fast food preference alternates in some kind of cycle (with different amounts of time spent at eat phase according to how nasty that particular food I’m craving actually is!).
I also have some sort of subconcious decision process that decides what food I want to eat. Sometimes it won’t tell me, so I have to figure out what I want by considering lots of things until I hit on the right one - jackpot. Sometimes I just have to guess. Weird.
I go through phases that I wouldn’t call cravings. I just have favorite foods that keep changing. And some that never change – homemade pizza, bacon, Taylor Ham (a fatty processed meat which is called pork roll).
Right now – due to research, not cravings – I eat lots of raw (not pasteurized and not homogenized) full-fat milk, raw cream, raw cheese, raw butter, homemade kefir made from raw milk, eggs (scrambled eggs with extra egg yolks), sprouted-grain breads (great for mini-pizzas), blueberries and strawberries with raw whipped cream, organic grass-fed (grass-finished) beef and other meats. I cook everything in butter, lard, or coconut oil. This reminds me, it’s time to go separate some cream and make butter. And check on my latest science project – I’ve been making curds and whey for the last several days by keeping raw milk at room temperature. I think it’s ready.
Basically, I’m rolling back the clock 100 years, to a time when people were healthy (I avoid modern processed foods and vegetable oils). And I’m trying to raise my cholesterol level – no joke – (or at least get more cholesterol), which is why I eat the extra egg yolks.
I wish I knew a 100-year-old person. I have a lot of questions.
