When you just gotta have it!

So, 16 weeks and 4 days pregnant and I cannot stop eating ANAT PLENTY 4 TWENTY

WRAPS!

I can hardly finish a meal on most days, swallowing my prenatal vitamins is hard work and a lot of the things I used to like I can’t stand, yet when it comes to lunch I am always happy to chow down a wonderfully delicious and oh so cheap ANAT “Plenty 4 Twenty” wrap.

They say food cravings mean something. Like whatever you hunger for is related to what is lacking in your diet. But I don’t know, just how much chilli, humus, cabbage, brinjal, chicken and floured wraps do I need to satisfy whatever is lacking in my body? So I don’t think it’s necessarily a lack of something that causes the craving, my craving is definitely not nutrition related. Pregnant women the world over experience these cravings.

When I was pregnant with my daughter I distinctly remember loving Niknaks. I HATE NIKNAKS! I have not liked Niknaks all my life. It was a snack I avoided as a kid and in general I don’t like cheesy chips but when I was pregnant with my daughter I craved Niknaks.

This time around some of the things I like ALOT:

• Salt & Vinegar anything
• Granny Smith Apples
• Anything from ANAT
• Ice cold coke (has to be ice cold)
• Peri Peri chicken pie from Pie City
• Double Cream Yoghurts
• Greek Salad with plenty of dressing
• Sundried Tomato Soup
• Tea but only with condensed milk
• Avocado Pears (eaten as is with a little or a lot of salt)
• Strawberry Milkshakes from WIMPY

 What I don’t particular enjoy anymore or as much:

• Coffee
• Chicken pieces (like fillet chicken or other big cuts)
• Bread
• Cake
• Biscuits
• Pasta
• Chocolate
