Foods taste different?

It's been 10 days since I started changing the way I eat and 5 days since I started working out. For the most part, I'm eating a lot healthier than I ever have and drinking tons more water. But I noticed that foods are starting to taste different. The broccoli beef that I had tonight tastes excessively salty. There was no salt added but there is soy sauce. But that is only 2 Tbsp for 4 servings. Anyone else experience things like this?

Yes a lot of food is very salty to me since my weight loss journey

Quite normal, I think.

Since eating less salty or sugary foods, I REALLY taste the salt and sugar in items high in it now. Even things that aren't necessarily high in either, I have a heightened sense of taste for both so a lot of things are overwhelming to my taste buds now.

I have all my coffee without sugar now and earlier this week my mother in law made me a coffee with 2 sugars in it (which used to be my usual) and it felt like I had put the whole jar of sugar in my mouth, it was insanely sweet tasting compared to how it used to taste to me.

I'd say changing the diet definitely makes things taste differently especially when you've grown accustomed to certain tastes and don't get them as often anymore.

I use little salt or sugar when cooking, and I have become more sensitive to those flavors. A good carrot is plenty sweet for me!

Kikkoman makes lower sodium soy sauce, by the way.
