Wondering if anyone else has ever done this. When I do my grocery shopping I usually shop for two weeks and ocassionally will eat the same things for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day of that two weeks. I asked some friends and some thought it was weird.

It is very weird. Don't you get bored? I cannot eat the samething even for two consecutive days. Is it some thing that you really love to eat? Even if it is for me I still cant think of doing that. Two weeks is too long.

oh, yeah defenitely! im no picky eater. as long as it satisfies my hunger then im fine with it. but, it has to be something that i love to eat, say, pizza.

corn flakes - kellogg's corn flakes my favorite!
Yes I can eat the same thing everyday for two weeks but not for 1 month or I will gag. My favorite breakfast is kellogg's corn flakes, i like so much that i even eat it as a snack. But I'd like my lunch & dinner to vary everyday.

I don't really know how I could ever eat the same thing for two weeks in a row without getting completely bored with it or getting to the point where whenever I saw it I became physically ill. There's only so much the human body can take before it decides it needs change. I know that personally I've gone through times where even eating the same thing for two nights in a row is too much of the same thing. Personally, I believe I need variety in my life and when I am denied that I get really frustrated. I don't like being bored with food. I've had enough of that to last me two lifetimes. I lived with my other half in his old apartment and I was not happy there. On top of that we seemed to always be cooking the same meals every three or four days. If that wasn't enough, it got to the point after a while where we were not even cooking because that had gotten monotonous. We had resorted to ordering out too much and that even got tired. We decided after all of that to just finally get ourselves some cookbooks and as well look on the internet for some recipes to start varying our meals a bit. It has worked out really well for us since we decided to just vary our meals. Our dinners are more exciting and we are genuinely interested in cooking again. We had lost our desire to cook anything for quite some time and finally with just a little help from some cookbooks and the internet, we had a pretty wide variety of recipes to choose from. I think this might help you if you're interested in varying your meals a bit and getting a little variety into your diet. I know that we even brought in salads and things we weren't really up for trying before and we decided to give them a chance. We were surprised by how much we actually liked what we had chosen. There's an endless variety of different styles and types of foods you can cook. You could try a homemade stew or soup or throw a roast in the oven or the slow cooker. You might take a meal you make right now and change they way you cook it to add some flair to it. Whatever it is, just make sure you are comfortable with changing up your own menu and what you like to eat. In conclusion, I personally could not eat the same meal over and over again for two weeks. I would get really bored and I'd start to wonder if my health was being affected by it. I know I have gotten bored with food in the past and I don't really want to lose that interest in food again anytime soon! . . Thanks for allowing me to share! xx

It is not weird, if you enjoy it. I don't think I would, unless I prepared the same food a little different for each meal.

It was true only when I was in my teenage, my middle school period. I loginged in the school then and all my schoolmates ate the same thing every day even for months, that was horrible to recall these memories, but now I can't do the same thing of course, it is boring to eat the same thing even for days, and eating the same things for a long time is harmful to your herlth because you can't get enough nourishments, it is not a good choice to do this.

You're a little bit extreme. Personally I could maybe do that for atleast 2 days or 3 days. But honestly, common! For 2 weeks? Don't you feel like vommit. I would understand if you are like in a cleansing diet of some sort otherwise I would suggest to vary your food habits.

I did that once. But I was pregnant! I had a craving for salted fish. I ate that for 2 straight weeks. I just stopped because my mother in law said that i should not eat salty foods when iam pregnant. But if you are not pregnant =) that seems weird. Dont you get tired of what you eat? =)
