Q: Grapefruit Cravings!

My one and only craving right now is grapefruit. As I sat down with a large bowl of it, I decided to google and find out what exactly it was doing for my body. Turns out that it is an amazing super food! It helps lower the insulin levels, fight fatigue, indigestion, constipation, and fever, and helps level the appetite (allowing you to eat when unable or helping you feel full). Plus, its full of vitamin C, calcium, fiber, potassium and phosphorus.

It really amazes me every time I realize my body is so aware of how to remain healthy when I'm not even mentally aware!

I tend to crave citrus fruits when I am getting a little dehydrated. Still, they are good to eat regardless!

Good to know, thank you! I am only doing prenatals and fish oil vitamins, but I'll mention it when I got to my dr next time.

Grapefruit is an excellent fruit....just be careful if you're on any meds. Grapefruit can interfere with the metabolism of certain drugs.

Watermelon was the first thing I wanted a few weeks back, but I couldn't find any so the craving went away. Pomegranates sound great, too! I guess maybe fruit in general is my big craving, because it all sounds so good!

I did the same with pomegranate last week, I learned that it's a great fruit for baby's brain development during pregnancy, plus it's a good boost of energy :)

Oh that is so funny- grapefruit was one of my main cravings throughout my whole pregnancy. I had to stop eating/drinking it tho, because it started giving me hellatious heartburn! lol

I think I might get myself some grapefruit! Your pretty lucky to have a healthy craving as mine has been salt and vinegar crisps and lots of cheese! I have never eat so many blocks of cheese in my life as I have the last 26 weeks hehe! My mum keeps saying "you'll struggle to lose that weight after baby is here!" I have actually eaten my way through so many packets of s&v crisps that I cant even look at them now without feeling sick! xx
