intake of sweets, but NOOOO! Now I crave them more than ever. You can still 'taste' with the taste buds on your tongue: salt, sweet, sour, acidic/bitter. So now I tend to over-salt things, and put too much sugar on everything!
Oddly, I find a lot that has to do with tasting 'flavor' is in my mind. If I eat a strawberry, for example, without really thinking about it very much, when my mouth gets the sweet sensation, I tend to actually believe I can taste it (unless I scrutinize it too much). So I think ice cream and chocolate chip cookies are almost every bit as good! (Probably the fat content.)
Equally oddly is the fact that I will still stand in the cereal aisle or the frozen dinner aisle, and contemplate what I 'feel like' having for breakfast or dinner. Why? It doesn't matter anymore! But I still do it. Ridiculous! Old habits sure do die hard.
But there IS another advantage to lack of taste: Now you can buy the less-expensive 'store-brand' or generic brands of pretty much anything, from colas to Cheerios, and you'll never notice the difference! In that respect, it's saved me tons of money when I go shopping.
Did you get cravings when you lost your taste? I used to hate pineapple, after I lost my taste I started craving it. |
