What are the top 10 comfort foods?
Categories: Nutrition & Supplements
Food has a very definite connection with our emotions -- it can take us back in time and privide us with the comfort of familiarity when we need it. Chances are, we all have one dish or another that qualifies as comfort food -- what's yours?
eDiets recently revealed what they think are the top 10 comfort foods:
-
Macaroni and Cheese
-
Chocolate Chip Cookies
-
Ice Cream
-
Pizza
-
Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
-
Tomato Soup
-
Popcorn (probably with lots of extra butter!)
-
Chocolate Shakes
-
Pancakes
-
Homemade Soups and Stews
Most of these will not only provide momentary comfort, they'll pad your waistline too. My advice? Avoid everything except tomato soup and find comfort in a good book and a steaming cup of herbal tea.

We have homemade pancakes every Sunday, wholegrain and very hardy. Lightly topped with whipped cream flavored with maple. If that's going to kill me so be it.

I agree that you shouldn't eat in response to an emotion, but I think it's silly to say you should avoid all of these foods. Done correctly, most everything on that list can be made healthy! For example, pizza with a thin whole wheat crust, a small amount of low fat cheese and lots of veggies. Diets fail because people take them to extremes, and cutting out favorite foods rather than trying to substitute healthy versions of them will spell failure for most people.
