Food Phases

Lifestyle Parenting, Household Affairs and Cuisine corner

Once in a while, I’ll go through a grilled-cheese sandwich phase…where I’ll have that several times a week. And then eventually I tire of it, lol. And sometimes there are certain foods that I get temporarily turned off from. Like keema…or karelay…I may avoid them for a while at later point.

Is anybody else like this?

What are some food phases you go through or have been through?

Which types of food do you crave most often? (it’s pasta and chocolate for me, lol)

*there is a study done about this phenomenon and the findings were published in an american journal of food sciences. according to this study, human body is designed in such a way that it demands certain foods in the form of cravings. if u body is low on certain chemicals, u feel craving for the food that contains those chemicals. isn't that great? its like a built-in food regulator :D

I have actually read about that. And, I find it fascinating. The are theories that we'll crave foods based on nutritional deficiencies and also sometimes if we're low in certain chemicals like seratonin (a decrease in which can lead to depression)...so your body might seek those foods that help to recharge that. It's interesting.

Re: Food Phases

Chocolate is not a phase…its a necessity. :wub:

I go through those cravings too…where I will have mac and cheese every other day and then wont touch it for a long time.

Or cake…I’ll try all sorts of cakes. Then one day all of a sudden I cannot look at it again.
