Change of Tastebuds
I began my diet journey hating foods like sprouts and swede and most vegetables to be honest. I would much rather sweets and deserts than savoury meals. Id rather fat filled meals, like burger and chips, as opposed to meals like baked potatoe with baked beans.
Nowadays, I can not stand sweet items. Biscuits with cream in will make me feel sick, hot chocolate drinks will make me too as they are so sickily. Ice cream is another I can not bear to eat any more. If I see chips I wont touch them, the look of them is enough to put me off. Fizzy pops and carbonated drinks I wont touch. In a restuarant I will look for the healthiest option on the menu and pick that, even if it is a light lunch option or a starter option. In places like Pizza hut and subway I opt for the salads - sometimes even without the dressings and the meat. Today I cant eat enough vegetables, I am loving swede and sprouts and lettuce - I almost have a salad everyday! I am loving yoghurts and fruit more so than ever. Coffee and tea are others! Sometimes I think I have been a bit too hard on myself with my weight loss diet, but ultimately I cant have been cos I am still here and still healthy! It just crazy, has anyone else notice their taste buds change to prefer the savoury food items rather than the sweet. Dont get me wrong I am not complaining - i am hoping this lack of attention to fast foods and sugary foods will help with my maintenance! Its like my sweet tooth has developed into a veggie tooth! |
For me the biggest test was the natural peanut butter versus "regular" peanut butter. I thought I was being healthy eating peanut butter at all turns out I was sorely mistaken. When I switched to the natural stuff without the salt, sugar, and hydrogenated oil, I thought I was going to have to go back because the taste was so bland. Fast forward a couple of weeks and all of a sudden I love it I guess my taste have changed because its now one of my top 5 favorite foods.

Natural peanut bitter is the best. I just had some on a rice cake for breakfast, and a pear! yum.
I've also learned to love fruits, veggies, and yogart more. However - I'm still having a problem with my sweet tooth... I may have to set some rules about that. Agh. |
My sweet tooth went down pretty early in the game. But I was surprised when recently it went down even more. It's really nice! I only wish it were easier to have desserts with half the normal sugar. Nobody makes them that way, homemade or otherwise. At first, when things were too rich, I would just have less. But now many things are just too much, even in a small portion.

When I started my diet I thought that I ate everything, veggies, fruits, breads, dairies etc. I found out how picky of an eater I was, sure I ate every food group but I would only eat certain foods in each food group and the higher on the food pyramid the section the pickier I got with the exception of the fats, and oils section.
Now I have a way more varied food selection eat foods that I wouldn't have ate before and cut out some of the just plain bad for you foods. |
