Anyone else just can't get enough of carbs at the moment?!

Still making myself consume some fruit (usually in the form of a smoothie) but I literally cannot get enough of pure stodgy carbs in these dark freezing days.

I'm powering through the butter at alarming rates. Got crumpets on the go, the jus roll croissants, part baked baguettes with Camembert, made a pork and apple puff pastry wreath the other day.
Bought fat sourdough bloomer and made grilled cheese with it.
It's oh so good but potentially becoming an issue.

Anyone else feeling the draw/give me further ideas to try?

Me too. I need that full feeling you only get from carbs. Weetabix, Sourdough toast and jacket potato’s today!

Oh my gosh! Me! I had six crumpets for breakfast. I bloody love a carb. I'm so fat tho...

Scones. I’m mad for them just now. Just polished off a Chinese and now on tea and biscuits. I’m so hungry all the time.

Me too! All I want are carbs and chocolate!

wizzbitt · 05/12/2023 20:52

Me too. And because I haven't felt full I haven't stopped! 🫣

Are you due on OP? I always craved carbs the week before my period (something to do with creating healthy cells for estrogen storage apparently).

Another suggestion for you - jam sponge and custard. Perfect for cold winter nights.

Same
stupidly went for a walk in the cold and just had a dinner twice the size of my usual.

IHateLegDay · 05/12/2023 21:10

Carbs and chocolate! Your OP is making me hungry!

DoYouAgree · 06/12/2023 09:24

Glad it's not just me - @ssd just got 20% of boxed chocolate biscuits on that M&S sparks deal so off I go to town later to stock up on them.

@DatingDinosaur yep due on imminently so probably explains why although the last 2 weeks haven't been much better to be honest. Feel like I'm some sort of bear trying to stock up ready for hibernation.

It's the cold. I'm the same. I've also just discovered the Too Good To Go app and am getting all sorts of bargain pastries and bread.

Begsthequestion · 06/12/2023 12:01

Yes, I've just realised this! Yesterday was crumpets, a cheese and onion pasty, and pizza! I never usually eat like that all day... Had to force myself to eat fruit last night.
