I had a carrot this morning. I was quite amazed how how good a carrot can taste. I've long held the belief that by eating junk food we desensitize our taste buds, so therefore no longer take pleasure in simple foods. That's why we get addicted to processed, b/c companies have introduced vast amounts of salt, fat and chemicals to make your brain want more. That Lays' commercial, '' you can't have just one.'' Well, it's true. And it's intended.

Except for this winter, I've been basically eating natural foods, and I think it's the only way to cut cravings. I just know now that I ate too much of it. Or in the bad proportions (too many carbs) I had to wean myself off of junk food.

Sincerely, that carrot was way good this morning. Not to say that it beats a Snickers or Mars bar, but those won't get me closer to my goal.

I agree completely. I'll find myself actually 'tasting' things that before, when my taste sensitivity was dulled from the chemicals.. would have gone unnoticed.

I have to agree. But the junk is still yummy and makes my heart happy in times of need. However, 95% of my consumption is within rdi and healthy.

@CR / yes and that's what counts! My problem is going overboard. I'm hoping that when in maintenance I'll be able to reintegrate things that make my heart happy also, without wanting to much of them. I don't know as of yet. @Gnewfry / isn't the carrot the root? Same goes with radishes, you can add the leaves in your salad. I just found this out after 52 years on planet earth!
