Sweet or Salty? Which Would You Rather Give Up?

June 14, 2007

Cravings can be so powerful, especially when I'm about to get my period. Sometimes I want an ooey gooey brownie sundae with chocolate fudge. Other times I want an entire bag of something salty and crunchy to munch on. There have even been times when I crave both at the same time! Good thing chocolate-covered pretzels were invented.

If I had to choose between the two, I don't think I could give up sweet treats. They're just so decadent, scrumptious and satisfying.

What about you? I want to know...

How awful to make one choose ;)What a person craves and when, how, why... there's too many reasons and options! And I think it is important to listen, and never give one up, so I refuse to answer :P

I hate salt but I would probably die if I didn't get to have a sweet treat ionce in awhile. I could easily live off ice cream if I could.

I could go forever without sugar once my body got used to it, but I could not LIVE without salty snacks. I don't add salt to my food, EVER, so the salt that comes in it is all my body gets.

I crave salty things more... I'm not immune to the sweet temptations but usually I want salt, so I'd have an easier time trying to give up sweets I think.

Sweet snacks tend to make me feel ill! That's not to say I don't have them, but I'd take a box of popcorn over a brownie any day.

Sweets for sure!

I never crave salty snacks, and rarely savoury foods. I'm all about the sugar cravings :D Unfortunately it's a lot harder to find satisfying and healthy sweet foods - and in most cases, a small bag of crisps will have less calories & fat than a small brownie.

Probably couldn't go without either but if I had to choose I'd go with sweet. I don't think I could live without salt. I do always feel bad for eating it though but I'm trying to cut back. Fries dipped in a frosty or shake is delicious Nicolel03

I LOVE salt but have really cut down on it a lot in the past couple of years. Heart disease runs in my family so I'm trying to eat as healthfully as possible.

i could never give up salty foods and my mom could never give up sweet ones. we often wonder how we could possibly be related, lol.
