the first thing you can taste in something is the sugar or the salt.
I have found since starting low carb I am actually cutting down on added sugar even in my coffee in the morning 1 teaspoon now tastes super sweet. Salt same thing
Agree on the sweet taste. I remember when I had to add brown sugar to sweet potatoes - now, they are fine plain (with added butter, of course! ), and it's more of a dessert for me. Same with yogurt, I can eat it plain with just some berries now (also as a dessert!).
I tried spaghetti squash for the first time this week - I was surprised at how sweet it tasted to me!0 -
When you have to plan a "night out" becasue you can't eat the bar food or most resteruants your friends want to go to.
When the "carb" count is the ONLY thing you look at on the back of the package.
When you wonder how many veggies can I add to this dish to replace other things and still be ok on carbs (and yes, I've added so many veggies before that the carb count came out the same!!!!! Blarg)0 -

Yeah, I'm not sure why people look at you so funny, when you stop and think about it, bread is the most tasteless part of a burger or sandwhich and is really just meant to hold all the good stuff together!0
