Has anyone noticed their tastes have changed?

15 years ago

I took my daughter to her favorite Italian chain restaurant last night and could not eat the food. It was horrible!!! Overly salty and just really bad. Usually I would have eaten it right up. But the white bread (hot, crusty outside, soft warm center) didn't do it for me either. Ended up just packing up my meal in it's entirety and bringing it home for her to eat later. And couldn't eat the ice cream either. My body just wouldn't let me put it in my mouth. I went home and ate popcorn for dinner. Not the healthiest, but what I really wanted. I told my husband it's sad when you go out to dinner and would rather be eating mac and cheese or popcorn at home!

Anyone else notice this?

I have completely lost my desire to eat bread. I wonder if I would feel the same way about pasta. So far, I haven't been tested there.
Cake and cookie type desserts also don't interest me. But even after more than 8 weeks on Atkins, I never lost the desire for fruit and a little sweetening of my coffee. (I've just worked up to the point at which I can have low-glycemic berries 3X per week, and I've had strawberries twice. But the good thing is that I don't want to overeat them. 5 medium strawberries at one time was just right.)

Did you used to be a big bread eater? I have noticed my desire for bread has gone up, while my desire for pasta has gone down. Also, I want more fruit when before I couldn't be bothered with fruit.

It's the processed foods, or restaurant foods that don't appeal to me the most. I looked up the calorie count today for the restaurant I went to last night and their salad has 120 calories. For a little tiny salad made of iceberg lettuce and not much more. Covered in fat free dressing. And the meal that I could have/would have eaten? 1040 calories. Combine that with the dessert at 180 calories and the wine I would have drunk ordinarily at 120 or so and my total calorie count for one meal would have been way over my daily allowance!!!

Is it perhaps the richness of the food that's turning my stomach?

I CANNOT believe you actually said this: "When was the last time you said anything nice to me????" but since you did, here's a real direct answer. May 7, 2009, (sorry I don't know how to post a link, for the real thing, it's about 2 pages back now, includes pix of my youngster) please see below: "How long does it take to root one of these? Brought to you by clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by meyermike_1micha 5 (My Page) on Thu, May 7, 09 at 19:05 I have had a cutting, or leaf of a ZZ plant sitting in water for over 3 months now. It is alive and well, but no roots..Weird. How long does it take to root, if at all? That leaf looks so healthy still... Thanks.. Follow-Up Postings: RE: How long does it take to root one of these? Brought to you by clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by pirate_girl Zone7 NYC (My Page) on Thu, May 7, 09 at 22:07 Hi Mike, It can take quite some time. I've rooted leaves in mix, that can take around a year. I've recently water rooted a stem, but didn't make note of the date I put it up. I took these pix, 'cause they show the round tuber AND the roots the plant develops. I really don't remember how long it took, but am guessing 9 months maybe, like from last Fall (I think I had accidentally broken the stem off the parent plant). and and So if you can grow some serious patience, you might end up w/ something like this. I think I'll take mine to my local Plant Society to pass around & show this development & then sell it at their plant sale table for a couple of bucks. ----------------------------------------------------------- RE: How long does it take to root one of these?

I rooted some cuttings in water and some leaves in soil but it did take more than 6 months. I now have a lovely little plant about 4" tall. After you plant it in soil the cutting or leaf will eventually die off and a new shoot will emerge. --------------------- RE: How long does it take to root one of these?

That plant is so cute. Sounds like they take as long as a pregnacy for a women, almost 9 months..lol Thanks for sharing. It tells me that my waiting is worth it, and that it just may continue to live. Yes I am encouraged. I didn't want to loose it I will post a pic just as soon as I see a root... Pattirose4, thanks for sharing also. Take care and stay happy!! Thank goodness the spring has arrived..:-) --------------------- RE: How long does it take to root one of these?

I am more surrounded by trees these days. I used to be able to track the sun at sunset, over the river, and in the am, by where the sunrise was....in the cedar bush, I just notice the changing patterns of sun and shadow, though not so much shadow before the leaves. But there are longer days - the sun set today at 5:30 pm. Such a treat. And as I continue to sow, and watch my new babies grow, I am so much thinking about the growing season to come!!! Edna - only a month to DST??? Yea!!! Token - great pics!! Perfect rendition of the change!! Nancy.

Yes, it has been going on for over a week now and others have commented on it. I think someone said that Martin was trying to do something about it-but not sure what!........Pat

I only wish! What I've noticed is that everything tastes better when you have a little edge of hunger. So, I can enjoy veggies or salad I might have passed up before. However, I know I could wolf down a half a bag of potato chips with sour cream & onion dip, with great gusto, like I used to do, and wash it down with a beer or a tall glass of Pepsi.

salivating

potato chips...........sour cream & onion dip...........beer.......

I have not had any of that in months!!!! But while it sounds good I don't think it would taste as good as it used to. Maybe the beer would, but I think, based on receiving a generous french fry offering from my dd the other day (how could I refuse!?) and actually having to spit it in the trash, (it was that bad!) that the grease and salt would turn my stomach.

I've noticed that I am more willing to eat healthy with a touch of hunger too. If I have easily made healthy stuff and am hungry... boy does it taste good!
