Wine and loss of taste for
Ok so I used to love, and i do mean LOVE, drinking wine (white wine) and champagne. I have been on again off again Atkins for about 4 years now. When I started Atkins I did enjoy wine still once in a while. I decided I should stop drinking alcohol completly a few months ago, due to the fact THAT EVERY TIME I drink alcohol it makes me crave sweets and carbs so bad that I always give in. I know Atkins says are taste will change, but I just never thought I would lose my taste for wine. I used to love Chardonays, and then those became too much of a strong taste to me, so I started drinking lighter wines such as Sauvignon Blanc and Fume Blanc. Yesterday I had half a bottle of wine, (Fume Blanc) after not drinking for quite some time. Not only did it not taste good to me at all, but I began having uncontrollalbe stomach cramps, and just felt aweful. I still feel aweful the next day. I think i'm gonna have to just give up wine and champagne cold turkey now.
Just my thoughts, and wondering if anyone else has observed that they have lost there taste for wine.
