Food memories

(Christina) #1

I noticed something strange…well not sure if it’s really strange or not. Interesting is perhaps the correct word for this.
Food doesn’t taste as good as I remember. Not all food of course but I’ve been keto since February 2016. I’ve lost 91lbs and am healthier than I have ever been in my life. Something interesting happened. My husband, who is a healthy moderate carb burner, was eating a type of dehydrated bread that comes from Sardinia. I used to love this stuff. Wafer thin, crispy and I used to smother it with cream cheese. I took a tiny corner to taste. It. Was. Bad.

It was dry, cardboard like and the texture was like glue. YUCK! I definitely don’t remember it tasting that bad. Anyone else had something similar?

Anything lower than 80% chocolate tastes like hardened margarine.

Yep, my taste buds have finally grown up… no more sugar-crazed cravings for weird foodlike products.

Yep, same experiences here on the occasions when I did eat something from the old days before keto.

However, bacon just keeps getting better and better… :wink:

I can relate I think. I took a bite of one of hubby’s cookies the other morning and I was NOT impressed. Pretty much spit it out. I think I got a cavity :wink:

My tastebuds have also changed. In the seven months since I started this I have had three small slip ups. The most recent (couple of months ago) made me realise that I simply don’t enjoy the food that I thought I loved any more.

I still slip up and eat more than i need on occasion, but it’s always unprocessed Keto food now. It’s great that you didn’t enjoy what you tasted because it shows that your eating habits have matured. Congratulations!

Hi! I’m the opposite and can’t wait until the day I’m completely keto adapted, can jump back and forth with carbs, and eat a donut finally.

Careful. Many have gone before you and said the same and resurfaced months later from the carb pit!
