      True. Fast food pizza really does taste like ketchup on toast though, and the cheese tastes like rubber.

      I had Taco Bell the other night, could barely even finish it without vomiting.

        Going to Taco Bell for pizza was a mistake. Even frozen pizza can be pretty good if you don’t buy the cheapest one at the store

        Dominos is of the same shit quality in Turkey. It is cardboard plus wood chips taste if you decide to add the “spice” they include in the package.

        Most other pizza chains are meh. Random places also offerring pizza can be quite good, depending on the place.

    Oh yeah, taste buds adjust. I’ve been off soda for 10-15 years, and on the rare occasion I have one, it tastes like drinking a dessert and I feel gross.

      I had some Cola after not having for maybe a year. I felt my blood pressure rise quite a bit. That felt very weird.

          I don’t have a watch, but I sure felt it.
          But I gave in to the addiction, so it doesn’t happen like this anymore. I really should stop again though.

    As much as I love eating clean, that’s not how it works. Junk food is still amazing. Well, except for processed sugar. It’s way too sweet after avoiding.

      You also notice that a lot of food is over-salted.

      Junk food is still amazing, but I appreciate “good” junk food a lot more now. Like pastries from a good bakery instead of packaged stuff from the convenience store.

        I often crave salt after cutting it out of my cooking. Figured I’d get plenty on lapses. Found out recently that drinking a broth was a nice treat. Not the healthiest solution, but one that works when eating too little salt.

          If you’re cooking/making your own food the majority of the time, you’ll have a hard time adding too much salt. Unless you’ve got hypertension or some other contraindication, the risk of hypernatremia is negligible and bloating/fluid retention shouldn’t be much of an issue either

          Do you salt your broth?

          Anyway, you need to add salt if you’re not eating processed food

      Crazy, considering this is exactly how it worked for me. Junk food is fucking disgusting to me now.

      Anecdote incoming: this happened to me. ( Not the 300-100, but I stopped eating junk for fitness reasons, now hate the taste).

      The source of my palate change doesn’t really matter, but I’ll admit it could be chemical taste, digestion performance via microbiome shift, or mental association.

    Junk food and alcohol just don’t digest the same after giving them up after a while. It’s weird when the gates of Hell lock you out when you’re at your lowest.

    I know the feeling, a lot of junk food actually tastes pretty bad, I’d say most. Sure, the unhealthy stuff is what makes food taste better, but some unhealthy stuff just makes you dependent, and that seems to be the most abundant.

    I’ve had this before but with a cheeseburger. Tasted like rotten meat over toast.

      I’ve quit eating meat a long time ago because my wife is vegan. I will occasionally eat meat, but it is rare.

      Most of the time I cave in and eat some, it tastes like rot.
