How have your tastes changed since starting your journey?

No longer crave biscuits, bread, cake, pastries, ice cream.... I can go to a bakery or out with people and not care. At MacDonalds I used to have at least a quarter pounder, fillet, large fries and large sundae... I tried a quarter pounder a while back and nearly threw up it tasted awful. I just eat simple food now - mostly stay away from processed foods. Back to basics... meat and a few vegetables.

I can no longer drink diet soda, it tastes way too sweet and way too artificial. Not upset about it one but though.

I think the taste of processed food changes over time because they often change the ingrediants. There are foods I used to love that I can't stand now. For example Cadburys chocolate doesn't taste very nice because they started using palm oil. Alot of chocolate has way too much sugar and is too sweet for me now. Its funny, because I'm not a super healthy eater.

See, dieting had be STARTING to drink diet soda. I never drank it in my life because I thought it tasted horrible. Now it's so sweet, in a good way. Helps me get through rough periods in the day before my next meal.

I prefer homemade sweets/cakes etc to store brought. I feel like they use cake mixes that aren't so nice. 95% of the time, I hate the dessert type things when I go out.

-Sorry, probably not relevant. Although, I used to eat that stuff a lot.

My tastes have not changed much. I used to love vegetables, I still love them. I used to love various desserts and salty snacks, I still love them. I used to love some types of fast food meals, I still love them. A couple of things that I may consider changed is that now I'm okay with air popped popcorn, although I still love oil popped. I used to find air popped inferior, but now I'm alright with it and find it to be an acceptable alternative. I also used to eat a few things that I didn't like just because they were there, now I'm more picky about where I spend my calories. That's about it, really.

I stopped drinking soda 10 years ago. It was just a spur of the moment thing. I used to drink 3 mountain dews a day. I was 19 at the time and switched to plain water. It was a lifestyle change I didn't notice I was making. Before I knew it, 6 months passed and I found myself favoring water over any juice or tea. I tried soda and found it disgusting. I still only drink water with stuff and find juice to be a treat that I can't drink with food for some reason.

My tastes haven't really changed, more than 5 years into my weight loss and maintenance. I've always been a trencherman, and continue to robustly enjoy most things. Some foods are better than others, of course - Mrs Jruzer's baking is greatly superior to most things I can buy - but I'd be deceiving myself if I said I didn't still enjoy all kinds of things.

im a savoury nut... still struggling to ignore crisps, peanuts etc... never was much for cakes so can walk up sweeets aisle easily. Do occaissionally grate some 90% choc on my puddings now though.
Other than than foodstuffs not change that much.. bit of meat, lots of veg... maybe a yoghurt/fruits pudding.
Still hit bread sometimes but try for malted/ grained... but cant resist a good tiger bread every now and again

Oh yeah... Tremendously! White bread tastes like starch. Meat tastes awful it's to the point i can barely eat it without feeling sick. I can only tolerate high quality pork loin, prime beef ribeye steak or freshly ground chuck if I'm craving a burger, chicken tenderloin or chicken breast, and wild sockeye salmon and i only eat these occasionally. Candy tastes like chemicals and stale low quality sugar cubes. Soda is just flat out disgusting to the point it makes me want to puke. I've become so picky about all foods it's insane. I'm addicted to fresh colorful salads it's pretty much all i want to eat now. For reference I'm a 6'0" male 31 yrs old and have ALWAYS been a meat and potatoes and "trailer trash" (sorry couldn't think of any other way to put it) processed foods type guy (think cheetos, doritos, kraft mac and cheese shake and bake pork chops cheezits etc.). Now they make me nauseated just think about them. And milk.... ughh used to drink over a quart of milk up to a gallon of it a day religiously; I'll never drink it again
