Bensmom Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Does anybody else have crazy food cravings on a regular basis? Do you think cravings are hormonal or some sort of deficiency? I was just sitting here chowing down on cashews dipped in ranch and a german pickle (also dipped in ranch). These are things I normally do not eat. Today they taste fabulous. But this is not the first time I have had incredibly strong, strange food cravings. What says the Hive? (and pregnancy is not an option) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frugalmama Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I have an ongoing craving for Chinese food - I need it about every 2-3 months and have for years. I think it's the MSG I'm craving in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I think it can be deficiencies. Are you mainly craving healthy foods? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unicorn. Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I think it can be both hormone and deficiencies. I used to get cravings for ice cream...every winter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I get cravings especially about a week before my monthly friend. I craved a sub from the local deli just a few days ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mergath Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I get food cravings every time I have PMS. It can definitely be hormonal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get food cravings every time I have PMS. It can definitely be hormonal. Yes, for me it is always salty stuff when I am PMSing. (last night I was eating pickled beets, Reese's peanut butter cups & popcorn. It was sooo good.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricket Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I get cravings especially about a week before my monthly friend. I craved a sub from the local deli just a few days ago! I get food cravings every time I have PMS. It can definitely be hormonal. Yep. Only for me it isn't particular food cravings. It's that I want to inhale everything in sight for several days! Hmmm, I guess I do crave chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I randomly crave things, but it's not an ongoing issue so I'm not concerned about deficiencies. Crunchy-sour-creamy-salty would be one of mine, too. So, pretzels in sharp mustard (or, you know, pickles in ranch,lol). I'm more prone to suggestion, though. I'll get a taste for something and it will gnaw at me until I have it. And it better be "right" or I'm annoyed. That's been going on my whole life, though. Again, not a constant thing.

HollyDay Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 when I was anemic, I craved spinach and almonds, and beef. PMS time, I always crave chocolate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH has learned to sometimes just come home from work with a Recee's or PBTwix... with no prompting from me... other than my disposition over the phone!
