1st Trimester

Suddenly a Veggie

My husband pointed out to me yesterday at the grocery store that I havent added any kind of meats to our grocery list in weeks. All I ever want to eat is pasta and fruit salad and regular salads and breads lol. I havent wanted anything with meat in it unless its at a restaurant, and even then I find myself eating the veggies more. My poor husband wants his protien haha. Just the thought of chicken makes me wanna hurl. Anyone else having this symptom? Now Im trying to google if theres an OWT about anything similar..... because I crave sweet and sour, so that one doesnt work for me!

Re: Suddenly a Veggie

  • I'm with you on this one.  The thought of cooking chicken makes me sick! 

  • Im in the same boat.. All I want is fresh cold stuff
  • Loading the player...
  • I was the exact opposite until last week! All I wanted was meat, meat and more meat! Now I'm on to bread and fruit, specifically watermelon.

    Don't worry I'm sure it will change as you progress!

  • OMG I have been eating watermelon like its going out of style! Love it! This year it has been super sweet too... yummm! Now youve started a craving that I cant fix at work. lol boo.
  • I have the same issue.  it started with poultry and moved on to beef and pork (yet for some reason bacon is fine).  I really want sweet and sour, too!  Pickles, sour candies, cranberry juice (the pure unsweetenedkind) ...and I want creamy, sweet things: ice cream, cupcakes, but I am pretty good at limiting those. I also really want healthy stuff, fresh fruits and veggies.

     My personal theory on this is that its our body's way of making sure we eat more fruit and veg.  We can get lots of protein from dairy, which we really need for calcium anyway, so our body hates the meat in favor of all that other stuff.

     Just keep up with eating healthy things that you like, and making things with chick peas is a good way for DH to get his protein if you can't handle even being near meat.  Or make him cook his own, preferably on the BBQ outside where you don't have to smell it cooking!

     

    Good luck!

  • I am the same way. Even if I try to cook I enough up nauseas. I had to buy quick meals for DH and SDs. It is very strange, but the plus side is my dad's garden is making and I have lots of fresh veggies.

  • opposite. I can't choke down veggies - usually my favorites! - to save my life. *gag*
  • Chicken used to be my fav... everytime I try to eat it i feel sick. We made some last night and I brought left overs for lunch today and I  just cant gag it down. So im eating a poptart instead.

    haha Im one step ahead of you.. I went to the store last night and got Watermelon, apples, orange, nectarines, strawberries, bananas, mangos and grapes to make a fruit salad tonight! Stick out tongue

  • Yes!  I was just in Greece, and all I wanted to eat was yogurt, fruit, taziki sauce and stuffed grape leaves.  I only had one gyro! 

    But.... sometimes I do really want egg rolls.  Delicious!

  • I've been steadily going this way for a couple of months before I found out I was pregnant and I haven't craved any meat since getting pregnant.  In fact, all I want to do when I get home is make a veggie and brown rice salad... mmmmm

  • I am the exact same way! I want nothing to do with meats at all right now, unless someone else is making it! Today, I don't even want to eat, I feel so sick! Yogurt, fruit, and veggies...my main cravings! I don't even want bread and ice cream which are my favorite foods! It's nuts!

  • Wow...I'm the exact opposite! I want a steak sooo bad!!
  • It's funny, this seems like such a strange aversion huh? I'm in the same boat, the smell of chicken is sure to bring on the nausea.  That's actually the main time I get nauseous. Craving in this order: carbs(!!), veggies, fruit and dairy. If you are worried about getting protein, maybe try some eggs?  I feel like our aversions and craving might be our bodies telling us what they need at the moment...
