So I had Burger King yesterday, since I started my new healthy life style I gave up fast food, but I was out and it happened.
However when I ate what I did it no longer tasted good it actually made me feel worse.
Has this happened to any of you?

    Depends. A lot of things I find way too salty now. I had a filet-o-fish a couple months back though, found it delicious, but it didn't fill me up one bit for the calories...

    I've never thought that fast food tasted good. Most of it is barely passable as actual food. I just figure there's a lot of people with broken taste buds or something...I don't know how people eat that pig slop on any kind of a routine basis.

    I've never really enjoyed fast food, it is an absolute a last resort for me.

    There's a lot I used to like and now find bland and/or salty and some upsets my stomach a lot.

    I used to love getting a whopper no cheese no mayo and onion rings. I can no longer eat a whole whopper most of the time and the onion rings make me ill :'( . If I go I get just a junior whopper.

    Other stuff I've changed what I order or ask they add no salt and I don't waste calories on fake plastic textured American cheese slices. I love the grilled chicken at kfc more than I ever liked their fried. Dog gets the biscuit lol


    I'm not anti salt it's just so much stuff has way too much and I can't taste anything but salt.

    haven't had fast food for maybe 3 years, but I know I like food with little or no salt on it now. The same with sugar. I had a oreo cookie and found it was gross (the frosting). I still eat chocolate with no problem though.

    I had a McDouble when the 2 for $1 deal was first released and didn't enjoy it as much I used too. The mozzarella sticks were pretty decent and their fries can still be some of the best fast food fries.

    Depends on the fast food restaurant. Places like Burger King and KFC should have troughs instead of dining tables, IMO.

    Places like Chipotle, Taco Bell, and Panda Express have good options. Actually provides decent caloric/macro/micro bang for your buck.

    Yep! I used to love Big Mac meals, and had it at least once a week. The last Big mac I had was over a year ago, it still tasted good but made me feel like crap for a few hours afterward..

    I stopped eating most fast food ages ago and don't really like it (in part because it seems overly salty and greasy), but I think I mostly stopped eating it because I didn't like it, not the other way around.

    There are plenty of high calorie foods I eat rarely that I still love. However, I do think that what you eat forms your palate to some extent.

    Yep. What a great day that was! I was thrilled when it no longer appealed to me. Made everything so much easier.

    Yes and no, lol. It sucks when you're hungry and all there is around is fast food.

    It wasn't "fast" food, but I ate nachos and a cheese plate friday and I've been paying for it ever since. Tasted ok, but my intestines have been incredibly angry ever since.

    Yes, my husband & I stopped at McDonald's a couple weeks ago on our way home from visiting family out of state, a quick breakfast. I had one breakfast burrito. Several hours later after arriving home I went for my hike and honestly thought about puking it up. I was burping up sausage tasting burps. It was awful. Perhaps it was just the sausage and a McGriddle wouldn't have done that. I don't know, but haven't wanted any fast food since.

    Because Burger King. I got violently ill 30 years ago eating at BK and have never stepped through the doors again. It's like Kamikazis, I don't drink those anymore either.

    I bought a fast food meal years ago while out and about in the car. It was a summer day. I remember getting back into the car after the windows had been up and the car setting in the sun. The smell of fast food wrappers about made me barf. I believe that day to be my turning point on using fast food for nutritional purposes. I simply do not go to those places anymore. Anyone can look up nutritional information or Youtube videos on the slop that fast food really is (think chicken "nuggets").

    Eh, there are ways around it, or you suck it up and eat it. But I love that it doesn't call to me any more!
