Pregnancy Cravings Survival Guide
This past week Cassy Clarke took on the Pregnancy Cravings Diet Challenge where she only ate the most popular food items you craved when pregnant.
This challenge started around the dinner table when she mentioned she can’t wait to eat for two, but after this week she is not as broody as she was. The purpose of the challenge was to compile The Survivor’s (Gentlemen’s) Guide to the South African Women’s Cravings so that Hubby will know what to expect when the craving calls at 2 a.m and he has to go buy them.
We divided this weekend into 4 categories Junk Food, Fruit and Vegetables, Strange Combinations and 'is that even healthy?!’
