These chips don't taste as amazing as I remember

Just had chips, they tasted so greasy and not half as amazing as I thought. I'll give them to a friend or something so it's not considered wasteful, but WOO, now I hopefully won't crave them anymore after this!

Has anyone else experience something like this with any food, primarily junk food after starting this weight loss/fitness journey?

    Definitely. As one article said 'the greatest thing exercise does is make your body cravy healthy things. Just yesterday I was binging on chocolates at work. I stopped myself, went power walking a half hour, came back, looked at the sweets and thought bleeeeh. I know, I still binged, but I ate half as much as I normally would have.

    Soda. I drank a soda a couple of days ago, after not having one for months, and it felt like I was drinking straight sugar!! I couldn't even finish half a cup.

    Yep! Happens to me all the time now. Especially when I get in a bind and have to get fast food. It tastes like a greasy salt lick.

    I had a grape soda for the first time last summer since I was a kid and it tasted like metal. It was so nasty I was sad it ruined that great childhood memory for me! lol

    Guess I'd better stay away from grape soda! I haven't had a soda in a month or so. I used to have a HUGE sweet tooth and it is diminishing the more I stay away from sweets. My rule now for sweets is it better taste DAMN worth those calories! No more nasty store bought cakes my mother in law buys. Only ice cream I'll eat is stuff I make.

    Since I incorporate junk into my routine life/calorie limit, I still enjoy it VERY much. The one exception is Cheesecake Factory. I ate there and the richness of the food damn near KILLED ME! I have actually sworn it off forever after the experience. In the spirit of full disclosure, I do only eat salt free chips though.

    I can't eat anything from a drive-thru ... I made the mistake of "rewarding" myself with a McD's fish filet and fries after several months of healthy eating...OMG I barely made it home ... I can't imagine ever eating one again unless I am seriously constipated. Greasy food for me is just like a laxative.

    I feel the same way about the Little Debbie peanut butter chocolate wafer - Not worth the calories - not a good taste any more

    Halloween-size chocolate bars.... I don't remember them being so bland! And McDonald's chicken nuggets. Even the smell of them makes me nauseous.
