I've been following Atkin's for four months now, and rarely cheat. I have noticed tho, that the cheats are rather disappointing. The cookies don't taste the same, etc.
I work in a nursing home and one of my favorites died last night. We decided to have a cheesecake salute to the old guy as it was his favorite treat and we had bought them for him on several occassions. I had a small piece and wasn't happy with it-too sweet-and it was a Sara Lee, my old favorite. At least I didn't fall out of ketosis. I doubt I'll cheat much in the future. Cookies and cakes were my downfall before and I've lost taste for them. I don't see potatoes living up to memory either come the holidays.
This week I find myself suddenly sensitive to the taste of salt. The grilled chicken on my salad at McD's is salty today, nuts are too salty, etc. These are things I felt tasted fine just a short while ago.
Anyone else find their tastes changing?
