Taste buds changed?

[Isabelmonster 62]

Maybe it’s everyone or some but I feel like my taste buds have changed so much I can’t stand certain meats like pork and beef. Yes I didn’t love pizza cause that was my all time fav like I was #diehard pizza head but I don’t like it anymore. McDonald’s is salty and gross and don’t get me started on on favorite veggie string Beans, so much has changed what about you guys any changes to your taste in foods?

I totallt agree. I ate McDonalds for the first time since my surgery last year and it wasnt anywhere near as good as I suspected it would be. Apparently, once you get away from fatty, salty, processed foods for a while, it seems like the body resets the tastebuds. I watched a tv show before that talked about it taking up to about 6 months for a product (in this case cereal) to lower sugar and salt so that customers adjust to the taste. Foods are really engineered to get us stuck on them.

I haven't completely lost my sweet tooth, but I definitely have an aversion to many different sweets. candy bars seems gross. I did however, have a few jelly Beans on Easter, and they tasted yummy. Before, I would have wanted one of the Reese's eggs instead, but not anymore.

I used to eat McDonalds at least 3x a week (how else do you think I got so fat? LOL). I haven't even thought about going there, it just seems gross.

Sadly, I still have cravings for pizza, potato chips, and bread.

I so hear you. I tend to make small handmade pizzas in the oven to satisfy my craving. That and pizza-like egg fritatas as excellent as well. Chips..well..im gonna try to do red beet chips in the oven soon. I miss crunchy salt Snacks. Bread...well..bread is my soulmate who abuses me, so I try to stay away from it other than high Fiber stuff once in a while.

Yes, changes in both taste buds and smells.
Some things I can smell from a mile away - like chew tobacco. Other things smell so grose that I throw up - like fast food. Most foods have an awful consistency.

Omg @MsMocie the tobacco smoke from my neighbor down on the second floor I can smell it from all the way up in my room!!! I hate it soo much
