Cancers are famous for their culinary skills. They love homemade food, prepared by their grandmother’s recipe books. They always buy expensive, but quality food and no one can resist their specialties. People born under this sign hate sharing their food and tend to eat until they are full enough not to be able to breathe. They do not care about their own health and often will overeat, especially when they are nervous or frightened. They make great company at the table, always spicing food up with stories about their specialties, recipes and the origin of food.

Libra

Libra

Libras are food lovers but what they like even more than the food itself, is the whole dance around it. Every meal is a feast for them and even when they don’t eat much, they will prefer small portions of everything — salad, appetizer, main course and dessert, followed by fine wine or a fancy beer. People born under this sign are often dependent on chocolate and sweets, and they would give up their main course rather than the sweet pleasure that comes at the end of the meal. They want their food and their dining table to look nice, and need a certain atmosphere while eating so they feel comfortable and truly enjoy the taste. When cooking, they’ll make wonderful decorations, tasteful and delicious, but sometimes pay more attention to the appearance than the substance of what they prepare.

Tip: Moderately consume chocolate and sweets if you want to have a good figure.

Scorpio

Scorpios love high calorie food and they often get hungry, even at night. An empty refrigerator and the absence of spices can literally make them furious. They love spicy food and even when they don’t care much about cooking, they don’t fail to be excellent cooks because of their ability to skillfully combine them. Scorpios cannot pretend to like something that is not prepared according to their taste. They usually have lean and slim body, not because they don’t eat much, but because they follow the principle of all or nothing as in every area of their life — when they feel that they went too far, they will immediately start with dietary restrictions.

Tip: Avoid alcohol and junk food, and drink large amounts of water and tea every day.

Sagittarius

Sagittarius

Sagittarius representatives are curious, love to experiment regularly and want to try everything they can in this lifetime. They love exotic, non-standard and spicy food. Their diet can often go from one extreme to another, although in most cases they simply eat a lot. At one point they may behave like they are very hungry and will greedily empty their plates, while at times they can starve for days, literally forgetting to eat because of other excitements in their life. Because of the propensity to overeat and overdrink, people born under this sign often suffer from digestive problems, high blood pressure and in some cases even obesity.

Tip: Avoid overeating and make a rule — one meal equals one full plate, not more.

Capricorn

Capricorn

Capricorns are tireless workers, but they always find time for a good meal. For them, quality is always more important than quantity and most of all they need their daily routine respected and food on schedule. The atmosphere while eating is especially important to them. It needs to be relaxed and calm. They love an evening ritual, attending family dinners, and hate when someone forces food on their plate when they’re full. Capricorns are traditional people, so they love homemade food. Therefore, when they choose to search for their life companion, they do not forget to put cooking on the list of priority criteria. Although they don’t like their food extremely spicy, they sometimes tend to exaggerate with salt.

Tip: Be careful when adding salt to your food. It can become your organism’s worst enemy.

Aquarius

Aquarius

Aquarius representatives are not selfish when it comes to sharing food and often prefer low-calorie meals, when they find the time to eat. When they are occupied by their brilliant mind, they will eat whatever comes their way and should really be careful with junk food. They know how to enjoy in everything that is new and unusual. People born under this sign are often vegetarians, due to their humanitarian nature and often love the taste of vegetables and fruits more than that of protein-rich food. They don’t cook often, and when they do, they hate to blindly follow the recipes. They will make changes, letting their creativity and imagination flow. The downside to their diet is excessive coffee intake and late-night eating.

Tip: Skip the meal in the late evening hours, and opt for a hearty and healthy breakfast.

Pisces

Pisces

Pisces exalt Venus, the planet of sensuality and hedonism, and people born under this sign love the joy of food. They will get truly creative, adore specific meals and appreciate food as a way to declare love and show people in their life how much they care for them. They will appreciate good company at the table, and feel even better if their meal is served in candlelight and in a romantic setting. The downside to their passionate approach is in their love for alcohol, even though it blurs their vision and their view on life, and has negative effects on their health.

Tip: Drink plenty of water and have regular detox diets.
