What do you want when you gotta have something and it's gotta be sweet, and it's gotta be a lot, and you gotta have it now? Well, if you are doing a paleo diet like I am, not a blooming thing. Instead I am about to eat some *&^%$#@ broccoli, because "nothing satisfies a major food craving like broccoli", she said dryly.
Oh dear. I like broccoli (which I discovered after I left home because my father didn't so it was never served). However a food craving satisfier? No.
ReplyDeleteI would swear a lot. And probably weaken and cheat.
I hope and assume you are better than me.
I love broccoli as a vegetable eaten as a vegetable should be, but never when everything in me is screaming for something sweet, or starchy, or crunchy in a good and tasty way.
ReplyDeleteRight now I am eating the broccoli but the night is not over and possibilities abound!
ah! paleo!
ReplyDeletehang in there and you will stop getting the cravings...... except maybe for broccoli!
Yeah I know, but last night I was seriously craving anything tasty
DeleteI have to say I have a broccoli salad that I do crave. Of course it has sweet dressing but also cheese bacon, and raisins so sweet and salty.A candy bar is probably as healthy.
ReplyDeleteIf I could have eaten loaded broccoli it would have hit all my cravings. Steamed broccoli just didn't do it for me at all.
DeleteGood luck. I hate that feeling. I did succumb this past week to a donut craving.....it happens. I just need to make sure it isnt an all the time occurance.
ReplyDeleteOh I know! I am cutting myself a little slack one day in the next month maybe, but until then I really do need to stay the course. Of course I also need to have something available at all times to grab when these weird cravings hit.
DeleteLast night we finally ran out of all the sweets from Christmas and I was at a loss to what to snack on. I had a peanut butter sandwich. Pretty good, but not quite like a piece of chocolate. However, it was a lot closer than a piece of broccoli.
ReplyDeleteI would have been over the moon with a PBJ! Instead I ate the broccoli, which is nowhere near what my mouth wanted to eat.
DeleteGot to love no or low carbs Bring on the broccoli or the dancing girls
ReplyDeleteYeah, no/low carbs make me a happy camper. Just ask anyone in my realm right now. They love the first week of my paleo cause I am so nice.
DeleteYou can't have fruit?
ReplyDeleteDidn't have any on hand. My fault.
DeleteHow about adding hummus? That at least makes the broccoli tolerable. Or roasting it? Says the person eating chocolate dipped almonds. ;-)
ReplyDeleteNo beans or peas with paleo. I just was caught unprepared and was having intense cravings. (OK I was pissy because I really wanted to bake one of the gigantic frozen chocolate chip dough balls that live in my freezer)
DeleteI have a couple of really dark 80% cocoa choc squares or a couple of prunes both healthy and nutritious and satisfy my cravings for something sweet. I'm doing dry January so sweet cravings increased if I succumbed to everything I wanted I may as well drink lol
ReplyDeleteI should have made some things to have on hand, but I hadn't at the time. I definitely will next time though!
ReplyDeleteI f*cking adore broccoli. It's always a fight though because, while my wife will eat it, it's not something I can get her to eat regularly. haha
ReplyDeleteI will eat broccoli everyday. I like it fine but it was no substitute for the cookie dough in my freezer that was singing to me!
