Do you have a food craving? Not like you eat a lot of something, but you crave a particular type of food? Watch this video to get a food personality profile based on your food craving!
Based on your name and your food craving, it reveals a lot about your personality. When I do this at Crossfit gyms, I have people fill out this sheet and I interpret what their food craving means. And everyone I’ve ever done this to laughs because they can’t believe I know so many intimate details about them just based on their food craving.
Like if you crave sugar, you’re craving love. If you crave salt, you’re craving meaning. If you crave spicy food, you crave excitement or a new adventure. If you crave chocolate, you’re craving sex. Peanut butter means you crave a relationship or more of a relationship out of the partner you already have. Deep fried food is always a way to relieve unexpressed and deeply repressed anger, because grease is the only thing heavy enough to bury a force like resentment. Carbs are a craving for comfort.
Okay, so now let’s get more specific. The reason I ask people to handwrite their name, is because it’s like DNA to someone like me who is intuitive. As soon as I read the energy of your handwriting, I know what’s going on with you.
Amanda craves pizza. She needs more romance and sex. So she needs to plan more date nights with her boyfriend. When I said that to her, she cracked up because they’ve been trying to do that for a while. Anytime you want bread, pizza has bread in it, you want security. So they’re dating. And if she wants bread, that means she wants a ring.
Elizabeth craves seaweed. Seaweed is salty and it has a lot of minerals in it. She’s doesn’t have enough meaningful projects at work. When I said that to her, she was stunned! She was like, “OMG I’m totally going through a dead period in my career, Vicky Lee!”
Julie loves white chocolate. Has to have it everyday. She craves luxury.
Francesca craves fettucine. If someone craves pasta, I know they’re married or in a relationship. And if they want cream sauce, that means that their partner is not giving them enough sex. When I said that to her, she sighed. Her boyfriend is a personal trainer and he thinks that if he sleeps with her, she won’t work out. So he hasn’t been putting out. So she keeps eating more fettucine.
Jenny craves candy. Candy can mean 2 things. For Jenny, it means that she craves approval. You know when you want to feel good enough, that you’re ok and perfect just the way you are? Also, when she was younger, she was told that she was naughty or bad. When I said this to her, she looked at me like this (side of her face, squinting), like “How did I know that?” If you eat bags of candy, especially chocolate like M&M’s it could also mean you were molested as a child.
Alcohol is usually a craving for love. There are different grades of love, just like there are different grades of alcohol. We’ll just start at the bottom. Beer is ego-stroking love and hard alcohol is hard-core love, like pay my mortgage and buy me boobs. Someone who has a craving for hard alcohol, their middle name is alimony and child support. (NBA wives)
Cigarettes are usually a craving for creativity or inspiration.
You can even put your pet’s name on this form and I’ll tell you what’s going on with Sniffy or Snoopy. Here’s Moonbear. He’s a cat. He likes turkey deli meat. I was his new owner and I let him outside. Now he spent his whole life being an indoor purebred cat. And with me, he was in a new environment with a new family and he wanted to figure out my routine. So I needed to wake up at the same time, go to bed at the same time so that the cat could figure out how to synchronize his schedule with me. Any time someone is craving meat, they want a job or they want to figure out what their role is in life, in a family or in a community. So Moonbear wanted to know what his job was in his new home. White meat means you want a light job. Red meat means you crave a serious job with money.
Nate like potato chips. That means he’s angry. Especially the crunch crunch crunch when you eat them.
We crave what we need. So does that mean that Nate needs anger? Yes. Nate’s an athlete and based on his name, I know that he likes to dominate. He needs a certain level of aggression and violence to perform his sport.
So for example, a yogi might crave water or tea. If a gunman came into the gym and threatened everyone. Nate, the potato chip guy thinks that he needs anger to fight the gunman and protect everyone. While the yogi thinks that he needs inner peace, to sacrifice himself so that the gunman will shoot him and let everyone else live.
By the way if you’re craving water, you’re craving sacrifice or martyrdom. Believe it or not a lot of saints crave water.
So you crave what you think you need. As soon as you fulfill that need, your craving goes away or it changes to the next thing that you need.
Here’s what I can help you do when we coach together. Is to build a food vision map. In my book, there are a few chapters describing this in detail. Lillian figured out that whenever she hung out with her mom, she was resentful and mad. She saw her mom once a week and ate fast food, filled with grease, once a week. Whenever she hung out with her sister, she felt lonely and perpetually single. Which meant she only felt like eating sugar when she was around her sister. Her grandfather was an alcoholic and so his body was leeched of nutrients. So around him, she only wanted to eat red meat. Do you get it? Certain people make you feel like eating certain foods. The more or less you hang out with them, the more or less you feel like eating certain things.
So some of us are sympathetic eaters. We crave what the people around us need emotionally or mentally. And so we eat FOR them. To find out what kind of eater you are, buy my book, leave a comment to this video or give me a call.
