    I am finding that I can actually taste the sweet, salt or grease in a food now. Can't stand anything with grease, and if something is too salty or too sweet, I eat very little if any of it.

    McDonalds. Although I could stomach it, it's just that since I haven't eaten it in for over a month or so, I find the taste of the fries slightly unappealing but since I haven't eaten much since this morning and my headaches appeared from the lack of hunger, I only ate it to fuel my stomach even if it is not healthy for me.

    Plus whenever there is a party or a celebration to go to, I find the soda to be too fizzy and sweet at times but managed since I still like it to a point. Especially Sprite and orange soda.

    However, I would still eat/drink them, only for once in a while. :)

    Yes, a lot of the sweet stuff doesn't taste good to me anymore and i find myself craving carrots, sweet potatoes, fish, nuts and thinks like that instead of junk. I also crave more salty foods than sweet, which before I was always craving sweets.

    Hamburgers. I used to love them. All kinds: Burger King, home made, or restaurant gourmet. After watching Food Inc, I was horrified at how cattle are so cruelly treated, not just at slaughter, but for a gruesome three months in the feed lot. I wept, and truly felt God was weeping with me.

    After this, I made only grass fed, humanely raised beef burgers. 9 months later, I became vegan and gave them up altogether. I felt so strongly about my vegan commitment that I never really missed them. When the family eats hamburgers now, I eat the pickles, red onion, lettuce and tomato with a little ketchup and mustard over the top. Yum! But the thought of putting ground beef in my mouth is disgusting now.

    Totally random, but mine is mustard and processed cheese. Both are way too salty for my taste now.

    Same here. It seems like many condiments and most processed foods taste too salty for me now.

    Greasy foods. Sweet drinks. Rice. Pasta. Bread (switched to whole wheat long ago, but I don't even like that now). Yogurt.

    I still like sweet desserts, but they make me sick most times.

    I had a vendor hotdog a couple weeks ago and I didn't enjoy it at all! I used to LOVE them!

    Also, chicken fingers/french fries


    Still working on fried fish and jamaican beef patties, don't think I will ever give the beef patties up but I don't have them very often.

    One of my coworkers did some kind of 12 days only lemon and syrup fast (I thought it was weird!) and she completely lost her taste in red meat and pizza. I consider that a win!

    I have found that the "memory" of the foods that I used to eat tasted is much better than the now reality of them. They don't taste the same to me and are thus unappealing.

    I have found that raw nuts (like pecans and almonds) now taste "sweet" to me.

    I don't really like steak anymore. Only actual meat (besides raw fish aka sushi) I can stomach is plain baked chicken with a little pepper.

    the taste of salty and sweet are more extreme. i'm way more sensative to it... don't need near as much and those foods that come salty, like deli meat ...i can't hardly stand. i get low sodium things now.
