Food not as good?

My tastes has definitely changed. I used to live to go out to eat. Now I prefer my own cooking.

Soda and sugary fruit drinks were a staple. Now I'm good with just water or my own unsweetened tea blends.

A lot of restaurant meals are too salty for my liking now.

I used to snack and eat mindlessly because it was there, because I was bored or was stressed. I no longer do this.

I never forced myself to stop to eating or drinking anything. As I cut back on things I eventually stopped desiring what I use to crave.

For a long time I gave food too much power. Feels great to be in control of my eating.

I found culver's burgers and fries to be lacking now.

I think guilt makes people not truly enjoy food.

I really enjoy "junk" food because I know I'm going to make sure it doesn't make me go over my weekly calorie limit.

I think it depends on the person and that's a psychological thing. I've been at maintenance for a couple of months and the stuff I stopped liking as much hasn't changed. I do find that I mostly prefer a higher quality junk food; like, I only truly enjoy a cake I've baked myself (I'm a from scratch home baker). I can taste the corn syrup and fake crap now in ways I couldn't before. Or burgers, I will hold and skim McD's to have a Checkers garlic steakburger or a Shake Shack burger. I mean, if you're gonna go in, go big or go home.

I'm definitely loving veggies more!

Not associated with weight loss because I was eating mostly "healthy foods" when gaining weight so I didn't eat much different when losing.

But when I was much younger I used to eat a lot of crap - fast food, greasy fried stuff, etc. When I had children and I cleaned my diet up and started really getting into cooking and yes, my tastes changed. There are still some junk foods I love but most of it just tastes flavorless except for grease and salt.
