It seems like my taste buds have become more sensitive to sweets now that im not eating sugars and carbs. What i mean is things that i would not have thought of as sweet now seem to be sweet like pecans or some other nuts and seeds.
Anyone else experience this?
Same happened to me.
I now find 70% chocolate sweet. I always had sugar on my coffee, now my coffee must be black.
I think itâs pretty common to readjust and become more sensitive to sweetness. If you want to blow your mind try a single strawberry or blueberry. lol
Avocado is sweet enough for me to satiate craving if I feel like eating something sweet. I canât eat store bought banana anymore. I switch to wild blueberries for less sweetness and more fiber.
About one month in -went to my nephewâs graduation. Had some celery w/dip - & turned around & exclaimed to my sister -âwow! This celery is sweet!â Itâs amazing how sweet things taste when you donât eat sugar!
Even when eating a slice of fresh lemon I can taste a slight hint of sweetness, wife and work colleagues think I am mad.
My wenchie @Karo_Isst_Keto and I had a slab of erythritol-sweetened cake recently in a Keto cafe in Berlin.
By gods it was sweet and sickly.
Thatâs nice that you have keto cafe in Germany. Youâre way ahead of us French. Thatâs something that Iâd love to see flourish here. Maybe in the future 
.
And yes, everything seems sweet since going keto. I love that because just one or two strawberries satisfy my sweet tooth. Thatâs great.
Normal from what I know as your taste buds adjust when theyâre no longer used to that sugary sweetness, so everything else tastes sweeter.
Yes - it was standard full-sugar icing on a piece of cake, and WOW - âso sweet it makes your teeth hurtâ did not cover it; it was almost unnatural, like the hammering taste of undiluted artificial sweetener.
The look on bartenders faces when I order a mojito without sugar, and they think it will be to sour for me⌠I find that the lime juice in it sweetens up the drink enough for my taste buds 
Or as one of the bartenders who made one said after he tried it, âItâs really refreshing!â 
And I really enjoy dark chocolate nowadays, preferably a minimum of 85% 
In conclusion, going keto, and I guess even more if you usually donât use sweeteners, will make you taste the sweetnes of regular food 
Right on, Jessika. Even with no sugar present, we perceive the fruit essence as a âsweetâ taste.
Totally. I had as Little as 3 blackberries the other day and it felt like eating gummy bears. Vegetables taste sweet to me now lol
Itâs very common. I make desserts for myself and have family members try it. Often the response from them is that, âitâs goodânot sweet.â I find the desserts very sweet though.
The good news is, there are also sugar sensors in your stomach which have a large influence on your insulin and leptin reaction to food. So changes in sweetness taste could be related to healing in that regard.
Thatâs the best news Iâve had all day. I taste sweet in pretty much any vegetable matter now, and accidentally got hold of some sandwich dressing being presented as mayo that was so sweet it gagged me. I was afraid the increased sensing of sweet was going to keep my insulin high, so this is a thing of beauty.
Yes! I was dicing some carrots and ate a slice. It tastes as sweet as an apple to me. Even plain raw cabbage tastes sweet to me, as do macadamia nuts.
Talking of tasting like apples: I ate a small crab-apple the other day. I was warned it would be âinedibleâ, but it tasted nice and tangy to my palate.
And I donât think this is merely avoiding sweet tastes. I make custards with erythritol, for example, so sweetness per-se is not a stranger to my palate; but I think thereâs something specific about fructose here - when you cut it drastically from your diet (or sucrose), then your taste-buds become especially and specifically sensitive to it.
It is one of protective by-products of following a keto woe. As we become more sensitive to the natural sweetness in foods, processed food become too sweet and less appealing.
Smell gets me, I can smell the candy aisle in a store from a distance. I canât evenâŚ
the bread aisle smells like mold.
I noticed this too walking past the monster decorated cookie place at the mall. Seriously Yuck!
