Hooked on…Nutella!

cheriere — Thu, 07 Mar 2024 20:01:59 GMT

Since January it seems I've rediscovered Nutella. I hadn't ate any in years, so I thought I'd pick up a jar. Well, 5 jars later I find my spoon digging in a few times a day.

In the past, I've done this with other foods until finally I just didn't crave or want it anymore. I even mentioned this to my dr. because I know it's terribly unhealthy. She laughed it off telling me I needed to gain weight (due to illness) and just let it run its course.

Just wondering if there's any food you've seemed to crave like crazy and if so, did you just eventually get tired of it?

@cheriere : I tried nutella and not for me. Currently on high dose of prednisone and my only cravings are for chocolate and not a good thing.

@SouthernBee Prednisone and steroid shots always make me eat the house down in general lol.

I hope you feel better soon and are able to stop with the high dosages of prednisone.❤️

I loved Nutella but my problem is just to sit there and eat spoonfuls right out of the jar, called it quits 2 years ago and have not bought it since.

That's EXACTLY what I'm doing!!! I guess I'm gonna have to not allow myself to buy anymore after the last of its finished.

Years ago, I went through a fettuccine Alfredo kick that I ate it so often, I still can't eat it! I sure hope I can do the same with this.

@cheriere : Thank you. I was losing weight and had two doctors pushing the weight loss but disabled and mobility issues. Diagnosed in November with ulcerative colitis and had major allergic reaction to the mantance medication. Seeing the gastro doctor next week and dreading it. I can speak up when pushed.😮😀

@SouthernBee That's right, I remember talking with you about ulcerative colitis before. I'm so so sorry to hear you're not doing well. I sure hope the new gastro Dr is able to help you. That disease can leave you physically/emotionally wrecked and frustrated to say the least. Please keep me updated on how everything goes. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.❤️❤️❤️

Nutella----food of the gods!!!:

My newest obsession is hot, honey hommus----I know-- it's spelled with a u---but this brand, Cedars--spells it with an o--you know-- hot---honey----anyway--that stuff is so good!!! Think it is from Fred Meyer---I do love hummus. This has a sweeter taste from the honey and is spicy--but oh so good with veggies!! Another really good hummus is from target and it is choc brownie hummus---is a dessert type for all types of fruit or by the spoonful!! I can't taste anything beany in that one---but so good!!

I practically live on non fat greek yogurt...okois and roasted seaweed....kind of an addiction! I never really took to nutella, too sweet for me I think.

You can make hot chocolate with milk and Nutella.

I also like a dollop of Nutella on cheesecake!

I love Greek yogurt too! I went through a time when that's all I craved lol. However, I've never had it with roasted seaweed. Sounds sweet and salty yum! This would be much healthier than Nutella for sure!😊❤️

@cheriere : Thank you. It has been a difficult few months . I really don't like all of the side effects of prednisone. I have the full fat round face. I keep praying and determination to do much better .

@River Song I didn't know you could make hot chocolate from Nutella. I'll bet it's terrific too!😊❤️

@Effie54 Now you're giving me too many great ideas lol. I'd thought about trying some on shortbread cookies. Pound cake and ice cream too, oh my! Sounds heavenly!😊❤️

I know it has terrible side effects too. But, I'm sure your face is still beautiful. We tend to be harder on ourselves than anyone else sees us. I said a prayer for you earlier after reading your post reminding me of the time you've been having with your ulcerative colitis. I'll continue to remember you too, really.💝💕

@cheriere Oohhhh, yes.....shortbread cookies with Nutella sandwiched between two cookies!! I've even made Nutella French Toast: I use a sliced banana on the French Toast, with a hefty drizzle of Nutella on them.

Too much sugar!...and the second ingredient in the deck is palm oil. No thanks.
