Arts137 1,811 Posted October 17, 2013 Cravings (and folks are different in what they crave) is not uncommon! Just on general principles, I say "If I crave, I don't want". It's like ANY food or restaurant commercial on TV... If on TV, it's OFF my plan! Trying to beat my evil craving brain into submission! 1 Teachamy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teachamy 1,042 Posted October 17, 2013 I crave foods I shouldn't eat.( cheese and salty-crunchy anything) Arts 137, you and I may share a brain. I always agree with your posts. At any rate, I am wondering about those restaurant commercials and how they will affect me post-surgery. As of right now, I am trying to figure out how to combat them. They always give me the munchies! 1 Arts137 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brighteyes 237 Posted October 17, 2013 I have only craved salt once, specifically salty potato chips. Looking back it was a time that I was probably really dehydrated and missing some basic electrolytes (thank you Miami heat). I generally shy away from anything salty which is why I thought it was so odd at the time. If you are craving it maybe look at getting some good electrolytes in.

BlueBird1383837829 0 Posted October 20, 2013 New to here... Craving salty Snacks, crackers, chips...etc. Never excited me before, what's up ? Any body else wanting foods that never interested them before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy 100 Posted October 26, 2013 I crave salty chips too. Want the crunch. I'm 3 months out. Never really cared for chips before but had a real sweet tooth. Now I dont really crave sweets. Thought that would never happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They always give me the munchies! Thanks teach! I deal with 'em by (and I am serious) having a mental list of things I see on TV. If I have seen it on TV I will NOT eat it. I am a junkie. I can't do things half way. When I dose, I overdose. Sad but true. And for those seeking a "crunch", try celery :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gamergirl 4,610 Posted October 27, 2013 I find dried edamame satisfy my need for a salty crunch while giving me good amounts of Protein and Fiber. May be worth trying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
