Food Phases of Food

[jennalovesbags]

Ever since I can remember, I'd go through phases where I'd mainly eat one thing and one thing only for lunch for an extended period of time. When I was little, years alternated between tuna and cheese sandwiches. I changed it up during college more but mainly it was taco salad. Now that I live on my own, it's grilled cheese sandwiches as of late. When I first moved in it was chicken quesadillas all the time.

Anyone else have weird habits like mine?

I have phases too. Mostly with breakfast. I can have yoghurt for a week and then get really tired of it and then I have to move on to something else.

ABSOLUTELY! The worst was when I was pregnant...I had to have lasagna every day for months. Then I moved on to crab salad...the restaurants I used to go to always knew my order in advance :shame:

Now I get into ethnic food kicks, where I want nothing but Vietnamese for weeks...then it switches to Korean...then Thai...then Mexican...yup, my friends and family think I'm weird, lol.

I do the same thing. I was on a salmon kick last year, then couldn't stand the smell of it for a few months. Now, I'm craving salmon every night again! I have hamburger cravings that last for a month, then wear off. The week before my wedding, I had hamburger cravings and ate one everyday. I was worried that my dress wouldn't fit, but I nixed the hamburger buns (I was seriously just craving the meat, bacon, and cheese) and actually lost weight. I think that it's a good idea to eat what your body wants. I find that listening to my body keeps my weight from fluctuating.

Yep - unfortunately, so does my DH, so on occasion we get in these periods when I'm on Thai, and he's deep in the heart of the SW or some such thing.

I do this too, and I think it's more common than one would think! A good friend of mine was obsessed with carrots and turned orange!

YES! I know what you mean! It's due to brain chemistry, which is affected by so many things.

I do this as well, then I get tired of it and move on to the next delicious thing lol!

 

[Eponineslove]

I do this all the time. I'm on a pasta kick right now- I can't have enough of it!

Haha, I'm worried that when I get pregnant I will be like this, or worse!

If I eat the same thing three times in a row, I will keep eating it for months

There is this one little Italian restaurant that we go to that I order fried calamari and zuppa de pesce with chianti EVERY SINGLE time we go there.

And another place where I only order oysters.

I go through phases - I'll want the same thing almost every day for a few weeks, then get sick of it.

 

[claireZk]

Yes! Last week I ate a plum and a green salad with chicken every day for lunch. The last couple days I've been craving yogurt and pudding, so I think my body must need calcium!

 

[devoted7]

I go through Sushi phases. a lot! And soups too!
