Way true. I lost 60 lb from last September to now, on a low carb/low
fat diet, and I'm finding higher fat stuff tastes ick. Fried stuff
actually taste gross. Dunno why that is, but its pronounced. We have a
KFC place near us, and sometimes on the weekends when no one feels like
cooking, we get take out for our three kids, and I'm not even remotely
tempted to eat the stuff anymore.

I also find I'm doing the math in my head all the time and calculating
the trade offs ...lets see...if I can have X calories, I can either
have one tiny micro serving of this (pick some high fat or high carb
item) OR I can have a huge amount of this low cal alternatives. Right
now, my heads way more into the volume - probably because I'm thinking
about ways to NOT end up hungry.

I even do the math on condiments...okay, if I put butter or mayo on it,
that means I can't eat that extra tub of low fat yoghurt...which I'd
rather have!
