Taste Changed?

mleoni092708

It's so weird since I started eating better, my tastes have changed.

Used to love beer battered fish sandwiches, tried to eat one the other day and couldn't stand the grease. Also diet pepsi tastes yucky to me now too

And I used to hate dark chocolate, now it is my favorite kind. So weird.

Any of you notice your taste is changing too?

Yes, about 15 years ago I ate horrible.. lots of fast food and my mom's very southerning cooking. Since I've opened myself to more veggies without all the heavy sauces, more varities of fish... and very limited deep fried foods, I find the old way of eating scary. What I used to think was so good is now too greasy, salty and just killing the natural goodness of that food. It took a while to learn that not everything was supposed to be so alterted to a greasy sweet flavor. I've found I appreciate different flavors and textures so much more.

Once I gave up sugar, or cut back on junk food sweets, I don't crave sugar or sweets at all. And I wouldn't be able to control myself around chocolate, but when I do opt for desert these days, I lean towards more fruity type deserts than chocolate based deserts. So yeah, I'm no longer a chocoholic and I pass the dessert cart easily without even looking.

Definitely. For the most part, taste is learned behavior. There will always be some foods you just don't like no matter how hard to try (oatmeal and bananas for me), and some that you love no matter how hard to try not to (Cheetoes and french fries for me).

Most definitely!

Mentally we know the results of eating/drinking the bad stuff helping us not enjoy it as much.

Yes! I liked anything greasy, fried, cheesy and drenched in some sort of sauce/dressing/topping. I absolutely will not eat like that now. The taste is just horrible. I use a lot less of that stuff and will typically replace it with something spicy so the taste is still intense. I also love my veggies so instead of a salad with a lot of fattening toppings, I will use different types of olives, jalapenos, red onions and other peppers. It is great to see the progression which all contributes to this journey. Keep up the good work! :flowerforyou:
