Is it true that eating healthy makes you change your taste?!


Question: Is it true that eating healthy makes you change your taste.?
Say I eliminate sugars, or keep them to a minimum in my diet. Is it true that if I were to say, eat a cake or ice cream, I would think it's "too sweet.?" Or if I ate healthy for a while, I would start to dislike the taste of fattening, junk food because I would be used to eating healthy.? Is it true.?

Your thoughts on this.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Yes, it's true.Both not craving it, and not liking it.
It takes about 12 weeks of consistent discipline for your tastes to change.
After about 10 weeks of not eating ice-cream and sweets, I was at the mall, and decided to get a milkshake. I used to love that type of milkshakes, but just a sip made me sick because it tasted cloyingly sweet, like sugar-spiked lard.Health Question & Answer

I think once you change to a healthier regular eating pattern, it is almost hard to go back to unhealthy eating again. The healthy foods start to taste good the more you eat them and less you eat other foods and you crave the healthy foods more, and the unhealthy foods taste too fattening or sweet. I've even noticed these changes when just making minor changes in my diet, like switching from 2% milk to skim, and then tasting whole milk afterwards....bleh...... Or with eating a lot of salads regularly, I tend to crave the salads with the sweetness of cherry/grape tomatoes on them and other products. You can even train your taste buds to go without salad dressing and mayo, and go to vinegar and mustard for flavoring, as well as fruits and no fat cheeses and nuts to flavor salads.
If you're trying to eliminate or minimize sugars in your diet for a reason like diabetes or prevention of it, you can cut back on the unhealthy carbs (white, instant processed rice and pastas, cereals, breads, potatoes, etc.) and high levels of unhealthy fats (trans and saturated) and go 100% whole/multi grains (especially low carb types of foods) when you need to have something with more carbs in it than a salad contains.Health Question & Answer

Yes, it's true. I can hardly stand the taste of soda anymore, now that I stopped drinking it. Diet tastes weird, and normal is too cloying. Ginger ale is okay but it's still pretty over-sweet.

High fructose corn syrup, which is what most confections today have instead of sugar, is sweeter than sugar. Once you get used to natural sugar, honey will probably be sweet enough. I didn't think that would end up being the case, but that's how it is for me.

A high-fat diet is actually good for you- if it's the right kind of fat. Essentially, any fat that's found in nature is good for you. The Masai have a diet based primarily off of beef, cow fat, and raw milk- and they have no heart disease. The human body needs fat. The brain needs a ton of cholesterol. The pharmaceutical-industrial complex wants to keep that all under wraps, though...better to load you up with Lipitor and keep you a slave to an HMO than to have you be healthy.

Olive oil, eggs, even butter and yes, lard, are actually good for you. Living off of only lard would kill you and be disgusting, but don't be afraid of butter. I'm 5'10, 115 lb -active person from a bony family, no eating disorders- and I attribute my general fitness to a healthy, mostly natural, generally unprocessed diet.Health Question & Answer

well kind of...the first week is kind of hard...but once you get past that..you wont really even think to eat the sugars...do NOT eliminate the sugars tho and dont keep them to a minimum...i mean yea eventually you can keep lowering them...but if you take them out your hypothalamus will trigger hunger and you will eat more than you initially want to and wont realize it. lower it a little at a time...let your body get used to the smaller amounts of sugar gradually...your taste will get used to the healthier foods and you will enjoy them more and more..good luck :)Health Question & Answer

it is not my thought, but my personal experiment!
yes it is absolutely true! i'm like that and i cant stand the foods that are too sweet for me, or too fatty, or fried, i just dont enjoy drinking coca cola or soda or anything else other than mineral water, green tea, milk, and healthy things like these, ...
i just enjoy cookies, candy bars, cakes,... instead i love salads, vegetables, fruits, olive oil, vinegar, whole wheat bread,...
and i'm borderline between normal weight and slightly underweight, and i love my body!Health Question & Answer

yes, it's true. and there yucky cakes - they taste like sweetened piece of fat, and "juices" like sweet coloured water and a lot of chemicals. You can feel the dye they used to make them orange and green and red. You will taste anything chemical/unnatural in the food at once.Health Question & Answer

I found that to be true for me. If I had to eat McDonald's now, I would get very sick. And the sugar thing is true as well, everything is waaay to sweet once you avoid it long enough.Health Question & Answer
