    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.
