Did your preferences of (lowcarb) foods change?
Hi there
Did you find that after starting a lowcarb WOE, you had a change in what you like and not like? I am very happy that I appreciate veggies so much more than before. Or that I can appreciate *food* in general so much more, without feeling guilty with every bite I take. The only thing I am a bit disappointed in is that ... I don't like some cheeses anymore. I used to like camembert and brie a lot and when I saw that I could eat them in moderation after induction, I was really looking forward to that. And when the time came... I hated them. It was like taking a bite out of a piece of butter. I tried it a couple of times, thinking I didn't like the brand of cheese, but that is definitely not the case. I have experienced changes of taste in high-carb food on this WOE now, I know I can have a nibble of a high-carb food and the taste won't trigger a craving, but so far, every single one of those nibbles have been *very* disappointing. The sugar is just too much for me, and I just don't think those bites are worth it. But the cheese puzzles me... I just wondered if any of you had such a change in taste of a lowcarb food after being on the WOE for a while? Or maybe the cheese is just playing tricks with me.

Did you find that after starting a lowcarb WOE, you had a change in what you like and not like? Absolutely. I am very happy that I appreciate veggies so much more than before. Me too! As far as cheese goes... I'm finding that I like harder, sharper cheeses more than ever now. And the softer cheeses like brie... I don't even want them (I used to like brie, too). Give me some extra sharp cheddar that is so sharp instead of slicing it kind of crumbles. Mmmmmmmm. -- Spring LC since 1/1/04 250/239/170 |

I'm still in induction, but I did notice that around days #3-#6 I
thought food was very bland tasting. Even bacon & breakfast sausage which are things I love to occasionally eat seemed tasteless. Days later I notice food starting tasting for flavorful. Those tasteless days were also the ones with significant cravings. Ina Hesmer wrote: Hi there Did you find that after starting a lowcarb WOE, you had a change in what you like and not like?

Hi there Did you find that after starting a lowcarb WOE, you had a change in what you like and not like? Definitely. My husband started his diet in 2002 and we noticed over the next several months that his tastes changed. Probably due to the severe cut back in the amount of sugar he was eating compared to before. He now notices the natural sweetness in most fruits and vegetables and he finds the smell of candy overpowering. We had previously cut out a lot of salt from our diets, and that also affected how we taste food. Dawn |

The only thing I am a bit disappointed in is that ... I don't like some cheeses anymore. Never lost my taste for any cheese. That's a red-light food for me. Moderation is hard when it comes to cheese. I have experienced changes of taste in high-carb food on this WOE now, I know I can have a nibble of a high-carb food and the taste won't trigger a craving, but so far, every single one of those nibbles have been *very* disappointing. My SO made homemade pizza crust yesterday, one of the things I sorely miss. I took about a 1/2" square of the crust and it was definitely still good. But that's all I wanted. Marsha/Ohio |

I'm finding that I like harder, sharper cheeses more than ever now. And the softer cheeses like brie... I don't even want them (I used to like brie, too). Give me some extra sharp cheddar that is so sharp instead of slicing it kind of crumbles. Mmmmmmmm. Me three. But I think it's more because I was accustomed to cheese with crackers or bread. Now that they're on their own, I have to get use to new tastes. |

From: Ina Hesmer
Did you find that after starting a lowcarb WOE, you had a change in what you like and not like? Definitely. Green beans got sweet, sf sodas & sf jello got too sweet! I really enjoy a lot of veggies now & have a spinach jones--I can eat it for b-fast. And I can't tolerate (what I call) those cheap bagged shredded cheeses anymore. If it's not really good cheese, I won't eat it. Trish lc since 5/27/03 166/136/125(?mebbe?) |

Ina, I've often noticed a considerable change in the taste of brie from when I initially open it (bland) to days or weeks later (sometimes strong) -- this might account for part of the difference in taste that you notice. Also, as a later poster mentioned, it could be due to the lack of crackers. (I love brie by itself, but it is certainly much *neater* to eat on crackers!) Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC |
