    I've slowly taught myself that only DARK chocolate exists & may be eaten. No other chocolates may be eaten! Keeps me out of trouble! As long as I obey this rule, I'm fine. Am I 100% compliant with this? No, but maybe 95%. :bigsmile: :glasses: :happy:

    Try the different dark chocolate flavors. The sea salt one is amazing.

    I used to hate dark chocolate but made myself develop a taste for it several years ago, now that I love it, when I try to eat something that's milk chocolate or like "chocolate flavoured confection" it just tastes like sweet wax to me lol even stuff I used to love. I've never eaten a lot of rich foods though because they do tend to make me sick, my stomach can't handle it even if it tastes good.

    When you stop eating a lot of overly sweet foods, you lose your taste for them. My taste buds are used to dark dark chocolate, so Hershey's just tastes bland and too-sweet to me. I have also found that fruits and some vegetables taste sweeter to me than they used to.

    This is going to be my fallback position if the monthly chocolate demon rears its head at me. I already scouted a homemade recipe, two Ghirardelli options, and a big expensive bar Whole Food stocks for emergency measures.

    I like dark chocolate. I realized this a loooong time ago when I thought about why I love Chunky's so much. Chunky's are made by Nestle and the Nestle chocolate is slightly darker than the Hershey chocolate.

    I appreciate milk chocolate but as my tastes have matured over the years, I really like the dark. Even the weird ones with salt. Kind of Eww and Yum at the same time.

    I get diarrhea from fatty sugary foods after eating healthily for a while. My body adjusts to low fat and low sugar!

    So recently i have been eating clean to try drop a few pounds, and all the time i am craving chocolate and sweets as i used to eat loads in the past. So today i gave into my cravings and ate a donut with very thick icing and now feel so sick:( i also have horrible taste in my mouth and have now had it since i ate that, is it because my body has adjusted to eating clean? i don't think i can eat chocolates/cakes again.. is anyone else not like the taste of processed food since eating healthy?

    NO it's your bodies way of punishing you for not eating chocolate and donuts...

    YEAH, that's RIGHT! Exactly what I was thinking.

    its possible that the chocolate coating on the donut was not real chocolate, just a bunch of chemicals.

    Can't tell if serious...but LOL

    I think that's good. If you don't want it anymore, then don't. PErsonally, I'm not a cake person but to me, if I have to eat cake, it has to be GOOD cake. Not Costco or BJ's cake but really good cake, preferrably homemade or from really good ingredients, like butter and real buttercream etc. I mostly go for pastires though like pies and million layer crusts like Napoleons. And tarts!

    Dark chocolate with coconut is even better than dark chocolate without it. It's a new, healthier form of delicacy. :wink:

    totally normal!! when your body is not used to something, it tends to react negatively. I don't usually do the whole "clean eating" thing, but if I eat a large quantity of unhealthy food I feel really sick afterwards.

    That's pretty typical. Following a lower fat intake, then eating more fat will cause stomach problems. The problem is, that doesn't necessarily mean it is bad. Dietary fat is essential.
    Similarly, many people experience stomach problems when upping their intake of vegetables as well - certainly not "bad" food but can still cause problems. Eat bland food for awhile and add in something spicy, same thing. It is about a swift change in diet from what your stomach is accustomed to, it is not necessarily an indicator of whether something is good or bad.
