Strange experience... Topic

Hi. Had a strange experience the other night and am wondering if this is 'normal'--for lack of a better word.


I went out to dinner for Mother's day. I was all set to treat myself to dessert since I've been sugar free since March 12ish.


I took one bite of Chilis Chocolate lava cake and almost gagged! It was really gross! And it is--was--my favorite. I'm a big comfort eater and now I'm feeling like I've lost a security blanket. I feel like I need something to replace it. I know you're not a Psych person but with your experience as a dietician, have you heard of this? I'm a little bummed.

Changing sensory awareness with change in diet - I have found that this happens with fat, salt, and sugar once people reduce these in their diet. I have also experienced this myself. Good observation, Teelameer!
Best,
Kathy
