I used to be pretty diligently Primal @hikerlady. I've managed to remain gluten-free, dairy-free, mostly organic, and have minimal refined sugar. But I can't remember the last time I was able to eat fish and only recently started to add back salads and stews. I still have days where all I can eat are carbs. It got better for me around week 15. @mattandlora also used to be Paleo. She's had severe nausea requiring medication. She's had to eat carbs and dairy too.
Chocolate and baked goods. Ughhh. I hate it. I feel like I'm blowing up like a whale... Last time the mere thought of eating sweets made me sick to my stomach till the very end.
@hikerlady - yep, "Tired pile of crap" describes it well. I'm looking forward to going back on paleo, but I'm just not ready. I still need 3 meds to prevent the barfing. It went away at 18 weeks last time and I really hope it stops earlier this time. But I'm not holding my breath.
When I'm not pregnant, my only true vice is movie popcorn. Sometimes I'll go see a crappy movie just to get the popcorn. The large one. And the places which make you put your own butter on it? Yeah, I put a straw in that popcorn container and use it to add butter down at the bottom and middle too, not just the top. Then I eat until it is gone. And it makes me feel sick and I don't care.
Note: This happens maybe 1-2x per year, max. If it happened as much as I wanted, I'd look like Jabba the Hut.
Oops. Just saw the question was what you couldn't resist during pregnancy. I haven't really had something like that. Nothing sounds good. That will change, but that's where we are right now. Last time I was pregnant, it was cheese. My recipe board on Pinterest looked insane for a few months.

OMG how did I manage 40 years on planet Earth and never even thought about using a straw to get the butter down to bottom!! @mattandlora I think I love you!!
