What is your trigger food?

[Lemononachair]

As in, the one that you have NO self control when it comes to eating it.

Mine is crisps, specifically salt & vinegar but tbh most crisps will do it for me. I can't just have one packet if I have a multipack, or part of a big 'sharing my bag. I've learnt through bitter experience that if I buy them, I will eat them until they're all gone. I have no self control 😞

Nothing else has quite the same effect, in fact I could quite happily go weeks or even months without eating many other things (chocolate, biscuits, etc)

I actually just can't allow myself to buy them anymore except very occasionally as a treat as I know I can't be trusted.

What really does it for you?

Mine is crisps too - specifically, big sharing packs of cheese and onion or cheese and chilli jam (damn you Asda for discontinuing my favourites!).

I just can't stop. I literally can't remember the last time I had a share bag and didn't finish it

High carb and high fat food triggers a massive release of dopamine. It’s nothing to do with self control, they’re addictive foods.

Biscoff spread.

Cadbury Wholenut. Or Buttons.
Or tiger bread.

Cadbury’s marvellous creations popping candy....it’s the absolute devil or Mexicana cheese

Certain types of bread, mainly. Luckily quite easy to avoid buying it as the rest of my family don’t eat much bread at all.

Chocolate digestives

Pasta

Yes, nice bread here-I especially love sourdough, or walnut and raisin, throw butter into the mix and that's it.

Icecream with bits in, salted nuts, creamy desserts. chocolate, sweets. I am a lost cause. I tried not to have them in the house during lockdown but it just made me miserable.

Ooh @terrorwig cheese and chilli jam sounds lush, I must of missed these.
Mine is Sensations Balsamic Vinegar.
I've ate a bag tonight and feel disgusted with myself but it's like an addiction.

Bread. I can't buy it. I eat a whole loaf in one sitting.

Cheddar. I fucking love cheddar. Too easy to keep going back to the fridge to cut another wedge or ten.

Cookie dough. I’m not even a massive sweet eater but there is something about the texture of cookie dough that I just can’t get enough of.

Yellow m&ms, I have to eat all of them.

Salt and vinegar Pringles. Especially when you get a really strong tube that make your tongue feel funny. I've had to stop buying them, especially now I'm at home all the time!

Bread. Give me a freshly baked sourdough loaf and a pack of Lurpak, and I could quite easily demolish the lot and come back for more.

Crisps and chocolate. And possibly homemade bread and butter, though not to such an extent.

Crisps
Chocolate coated pretzels
Homemade bread and butter

Omg!!! Yes.

French bread with pate and caramelised onion chutney.
Baked Camembert.

Philadelphia with rosemary thins to dip into it. Whole tub, no problem at all.

Bread triggers me to eat more full stop. Not just more bread but anything.

Plain white boiled rice especially if a sticky type.

So sophisticated me

Tony’s chocolatony chocolate.

And freshly bought bread.

I cured myself of thus one by eating 4 bars in a few weeks during lockdown.
