I switched to keto at the beginning of this year and I’ve been super good on it, not had anything at all that I shouldn’t, tonight I made my son a waffle and he asked for Nutella spread, Now I absolutely loved this stuff, I would eat it straight from the jar with a table spoon! When I was dishing it out I got a tiny bit on my little finger and without thinking I automatically stuck my finger in my mouth! WOW! My tongue went crazy, seriously how blinkin’ sweet is that stuff! And it tasted a tad sacchariney too, the good thing is I definitely do not miss it now! 
the bad thing is I’ve eaten it for years without realising just how sweet it actually is!
Sugar is so freaking sweet!

I’ve gotten to the point over the last two years that my tongue detects the sugar in any food that it’s been added to. I have to be really diligent about reading labels, as even if sugar is a minute portion of the ingredients and will have negligible metabolic effect, the food is simply not palatable to me. A sugary confection is downright disgustingly sweet. When I first kicked the sugar and carbs, I didn’t indulge in alternative sweeteners, so lost my taste for it- but now I do use an alternative sweetener in some cooking and still, I can’t stand sugar.

Chocolates are insane, especially not dark ones… Over 50% SUGAR? How on Earth can anyone eat that? How could I ate that? I need a mug of black coffee for a little bit and it’s still too sweet. I drown a square in my own unsweetened homemade chocolate, I barely feel the different chocolate-y taste I bought the chocolate for but it’s still too sweet!
And I saw in my family that it doesn’t matter if one keeps eating lots of carbs, lots of very sweet fruits, lots of sweets with sweeteners (more than many people’s energy need)… Simply not using added sugar does the trick. And maybe having me as a cook but my SO makes his own sweets and eats raisins in huge amounts so I don’t think that’s the main reason that his chocolate was as sweet as mine until I started to eat unsweetened chocolate (more effective than simply not eating sweet things, not like I can do that for a whole week).
Once on a forum someone couldn’t believe some people actually DISLIKE added sugar. I definitely feels that though. I like sweets but not sugar. It’s odd to be me. When I like sugary sweets or sweet fruits, that’s confusing. I dislike the sugar part (at least most of it), I like a little part of the sweetness itself and the other parts. So if I make my own not sugary sweets, it is actually feels way better to me, both taste and effect, I think though it’s hard to focus only to the taste when my body notices the sugar and start to complain… Maybe the taste is okay but it nothing special. Table sugar isn’t tasty, just sweet.
Recipes shock me sometimes, even keto ones. I guess beginner ketoers do that (or ketoers who are into insanely sweet things for some reason and can’t be cured of it?).
I ate table sugar with a tablespoon of a kid sometimes… Oh my. (Sweetener with a teaspoon as an adult is much more mature… I did both very rarely but happened. The xylitol/erythritol quickly became way too sweet for that. Even with soaked with coffee but mine is weak.)
I got carried away but it’s about sweet stuff
