Carb Cravings...

Confession that last week's food aversions have turned into cravings for nothing but carbs this week.

I want pasta, bagels, pizza... and then the sweets - cannolli, cake. 

For someone who likes to eat balanced and healthy, there's nothing I crave that's healthy at this point. :-)

Re: Carb Cravings...

  • I can't stand any sweets, but rice and breads sound good.  I'm currently eating risotto because that's the only thing that even sounded sort of good.  As I look at the box now, it's really high in sodium.  I hope my BP isn't off the charts at the doc later today!

  • I'm usually a big sweets person and I can barely look at them now.  

     

    All I want is bread.  Bread, bread, bread, bread, bread.

    I don't want sweets, but boring carbs are all I want...

    crackers, toast, bagels, mac and cheese...

    This is me. DH had a brownie sundae for his birthday last night, I had 2 bites and was done. I'm craving goldfish over sweets right now, how messed up is that?!

    Not only am I craving carbs, but it's the only thing that is helping my nausea.  I feel so much better on days when I've eaten almost all carbs all day.  With DS I could put away an entire Logan's Roadhouse Breadbasket by myself.  And I normally won't touch the bread because I'm just not a bread person. 

    If I remember correctly, I think it has something to do with your body needing the energy that carbs provide, because your one body is now supporting 2 bodies.  I think once the placenta completely takes over it gets better.  At least that is what I remember reading at some point late in my pregnancy with DS and thinking "that makes so much sense now!!"

    Rice.  I am obsessed with rice.  The whiter, the better.
