Food Kicks?

Siobhan615 · January 2011

Please tell me I am not the only one who gets in these weird food kicks? DH thinks I am odd because I get stuck on one food, and all I want is as much of that food as I can have. For example, right now it's Navel Oranges. I ate 3 of them yesterday and would have glady eaten 3 more, but knew I should have some protein, carbs, etc. Before this it was popcorn.

Anyone else get like this? If you are, what is current "food kick"?

That reminds me - I will buy a crate of clementines and eat 5-10 of them a day. This will continue for maybe 5 crates, and then all of the sudden it stops.

Currently I'm not on a food kick, but I definitely go on them!

Yes. Currently I'm on a Life cereal kick. Before that it was cottage cheese.

Laura - I ate 3 clementines with my lunch today. I love them!

JenO24 · January 2011

i ate 2 clementines w/ my lunch today - i try to eat a few every day

my last food kick was ice cream, before that it was cookies, and before that it was pickles...it seems to arrive around the time my period is does

Yes. There was a couple of months where I'd have Pad Thai once a week. I would've eaten more often, but I was trying self-restraint. Then all of sudden, I had zero interest in it.

I don't think I'm currently on any kicks at the moment.

Siobhan615 · January 2011

I wish mine were only around the time of my period. Mine are random and usually last until I can't stand to see the food anymore.

I just killed my 3rd bag of clementines in as many weeks. And I'll be getting another when I go to the grocery store tomorrow night.

Drinking huge amounts of chocolate milk right now, too. And pineapple. Cannot get enough of it right now - and normally it's the last fruit I would go for.

LauraT25 · January 2011

I don't get a period (because of my BC) so I can't blame that, but I'd like to. I used to get on Chinese food kicks all.the.time, but luckily that's subsided. I've been hardcore craving a really good burger lately; I wouldn't call it a 'kick', but I don't think it will go away until I get one.

Yep. I've been on a popcorn kick for a long time now. I think I'm just addicted. On my old bcp, I used to crave pretzels before my period.

I almost always want fresh fruit in the winter. It drives me crazy that I can't have strawberries! Right now my current craving is caramel.

I get the same way, especially with red meat. I was anemic in college, and find sometimes I crave things really high in iron (ie: red meat). I get cravings all the time for random things too. Besides my daily craving for chocolate lol

LauraT25 · January 2011

Siobhan -YES. In college I was anemic too, and I would crave milk or red meat, and I'm pretty sure it was because of nutrient deficiencies. I don't think that's the case this time (and I did have some red meat for dinner) - I blame the e-mails that Red Robin has been sending me.

This. I would do anything right now to have really good, fresh berries. Blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or blackberries.

I also get red meat cravings. Normally red meat is not a part of my normal diet, but I have had steak twice in the last week (with leftovers from Sat. in the fridge) because I was craving it.

I blame you guys for the fact that I just ate two lemon poppyseed muffins (normal size, not the jumbo ones you get at cafes).

leolyns · January 2011

I've been on a banana kick since 2009! But I don't like bananas in smoothies or mixed in with other foods.

Siobhan615 · January 2011

This is why I cannot watch food network. I suddenly need xyz food because Guy was having it on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives!!!

OMG so true. There are times I think we NEED to fly across the country just to eat something he ate. Luckily he doesn't come to Baltimore much so I'm safe. But now that you mention it, I'm pretty sure my burger craving is the result of something I saw on DDD!

I say the same thing to DH!!! He thinks I am insane. Good thing he loves me lol

LauraT25 · January 2011

I keep telling Jeff that I'm going to be a nightmare when I'm pregnant - I'm already ridiculous with the food cravings, I can't imagine how it will be with pregnancy cravings. He knows that when I have my mind set on something, we have to go or I'll keep bugging him

I know it's a little weird, but I get on these crazy cheese kicks. I can't get enough cheese - straight cheese, mac and cheese, cheese flavored things, ripping the cheese off of pizza - so good!

afloggie · January 2011

Black bean corn salsa. I am eating a ton of it. But then one day it will stop and I wont eat it for weeks or months.

Not weird in the least. Cheese and I occasionally have a torrid love affair.
