Carb Cravings

[Erica]

All of us galies have em, and I'm sure you guys must too.

What do you eat to satisfy your carb cravings? When I have em, it's usually for something carby and sweet. An oozy warm cinnamon bun, muffins, donuts, pastries, a good ol' pb&j sandwich...

Today it's Nature Valley Apple Crisp granola bars and toasted cinnamon raisin english muffins with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon sprinkled ontop.

i crave all sorts of weird things all the times. it's random and weird, people think i'm crazy too. or some just think i'm pregnant! hahaha.


cinnamon buns is one of my big cravings. i loooooove those things. they are so damned good. i also get cravings for this marzipan almond bread stuff my mom makes.

aww, now i want either one of the two.. THANKS ERICA. LOOK WHAT YOU DID@!#%%^!

heh. :P

heh. you're damn welcome. if you have some marzipan almond bread, call me and i'm coming over. i love marzipan croissants...and any other pastries with marzipan in it. rawr.

i have the most random cravings too. really really odd ones. for the LONGEST time (and i mean months and months), i was craving blueberry belgium waffles. i would crave it every single day and i couldn't figure out why. i finally realised it was cause of the blueberry candle that i was burning in my room. (duh!) so i went and i had it after my candle was done burning and the cravings stopped. lol.

[bebu*funfun]

the bad thing with me is that i HAVE TO fullfill my cravings for else i get cranky as hell and i can't get my mind off it.

the other nite at 1am i was craving for cheeseburgers and i drove out to buy 2 right away... mmmmmmmmmmm late night snacks are great. i spend too much on food..thank god i usually crave for healthy stuff..mmmm salads.

oh yes.. my ultimate cravings.. i get them at least once a week...WINGS! mmmmmm i love my chicken.

chicken brothe rice is my FAVEEE...so addicting.

this stuff is the best!! it's a bread, that's rolled cinnamon bun style with marzipan in the middle, then it's put in a circle [not cut] and baked.. finally topped off with icing and chopped almond bits. SO GOOD.

i can give you the recipe if you like.



my other big ultimate craving is WATERMELON. i can't get enough of it. that and french fries, or salmon sashimi. haha not all at once of course..

I hate carbs.

how would it be bad? perhaps having too much simple sugars (ie. cakes, donuts, cookies), but a diet high in complex carbs seems pretty healthy to me.

but of course, too much of anything IS bad for you.

i wouldnt say theyre bad for you at all

they make you bulky yeah but as long as you exercise, its acutally VERY healthy

now relying on losing weight through the atkins diet without exercising is very bad

[decypher]

I love how everyone always says how mcdicks is so bad for you, but then one night comes along at like 3am, your drunk as fuck, and nothing is open but mcdonalds, so then u stuff your face then complain for the rest of the night about how much your stomach hurts...

1 g of carbs contain 4 calories. 1 g of fat contains 9 calories. carbs DON'T make you bulky. excess calories make you bulky.

you may be right but from what i know, the combination of what u eat has alot to do with the way you bulk up. i don't know the science and the numbers behind it but i've always been under the impression that the combination of fibre and carbs help digest carbs rather than building cells in the tissue of the body to store fat cells (this is just common knowledge from the gym don't quote me on this). so from what i seem to know, the amount you exercise (and eat your bran in the morning) really determines the fate of you either gaining muscle mass or a fat ass.

and the atkins diet i believe says no carbs at all? or as little as possible? either way yeah it is bad becuase i remember hearing the lack of carbs has a bad effect on the brain and other body parts... if i'm wrong or i'm missing some info please add cuz i wanna know more about this =)
