Default a taste bud mystery

Now is this just me, or have you all noticed an actual CHANGE with your taste buds???? I mean, without all the sugar and starch, could it be that the way we perceive food tasting is really
altered now?

For example, last night me and dh are sitting down to dinner-natural chicken sausage in a sour cream/mustard sauce, with some kale and cabbage sauteed in a little butter and sesame oil,
and he goes "what is this- it is so GOOD" refering to the kale.
Now, as we are only in our 4th week of LCing, there is a lot I do not know, but one thing I DO know is that 5 weeks ago, he would have left that green lump on the plate; would have tasted 'bitter' to him.

Why does EVERYTHING taste so good now?????????

So I guess my question is... do things taste different/sweeter/more flavorful to you now? What foods do you notice this with? Is there a sciency thing to this or is it in the perception? Or am I just losing my mind along with the weight????? PLEASE please please respond with your thoughts.
