Almost done with my post (a good one too - aren't they always;-) when *poof* it's all gone - all of it. Well, I will do what I can, but no promises for a great post.
I had written about my intense carbohydrate cravings this past weekend. I mean, ever since last Thursday I've been trolling the house for sugar. For a substitute I went hog wild in the bread department. The peanut butter and jelly sandwich was the most satisfying.
Excuse me a moment while I finish my soup in a bread bowl from panera bread.
See what I mean?
When I was pregnant there was a sheet that my midwives gave me that had a list, "If you are craving _____, then you need _____ nutrient". It was awesome. I know some of these cravings are my body wanting me to eat something to fulfill nutrient need. Folic Acid maybe?
Anyway, another thing that crosses my mind is a guideline presented by Michael Pollen. Really it's common sense, but he says "when you are hungry, have an apple first, then wait a few minutes" It will save lots of calories, have you eating something healthy and if you have a glass of water you are really setting yourself up to win.
Okay, the two books below have officially made it onto my "Future Reading List" Just an FYI in case any of you read it before me, I'd be interested in knowing what you think
