Taste Buds?

[Firicia]

I dunno if that was supposed to be one word cuz I'm a terrible speller, sorry :p

Well I made to 2.5 days raw and then slipped up sadly (I'm right back on track the enxt day though, not becuz I feel I have to, but becuz I really want to)

I am having a problem with my taste buds. I have made about 10 raw dishes... and sadly have disliked every one. In fact most of them the smell made me feel sick-like. Most of the rest of the recipies I see have things I don't like in them too. So I am wondering if this will change? The reason I ask is becuz last night when I ate some SAD it was becuz I was feeling really deprived becuz I don't seem to like anything but fresh fruits and veggies, I don't like the recipies. Is that weird? I think I imagined myself getting really board of the same thing day after day becuz I'm not a recipy fan and freaked myself out, so I had some SAD to feel "satisfied" and not "deprived" (and this morning I feel like I have a cold and am sick... so now I really know why I need to stick with this, I get it more what SAD does to you)

Is this all in my head, like trying to "psych" myself out becuz I think i am missing SAD becuz my body was going through withdrawl? I think this might get a little easier when my dehydrater gets here so I can make crackers and fruit roll up and crispy banana pieces (yum).

Thanks for reading, I'm just trying to figure my body out.

your taste buds WILL change.. I've been doing this (trying for 100%) for about three weeks and noticed just today that wow! my food tastes great!!! (go read my latest journal entry for proof! I just wrote about this today!)...

when I started there were definitely foods and recipes that I didn't like.. there are still a few things I don't like .. but that's just how it goes... trial and error until you find the dishes that you REALLY enjoy..and before long you'll be saying "wow! this food is so yummy, I don't feel deprived at all!"

I could totally recommend some of my favorite recipes to you if you want.. but then again, everyone's taste buds are different... so you never know.

2.5 days isn't enough to really make that change.. like I said I'm at three weeks and I'm just now noticing how really fresh and vibrant and delicious my food is!!

keep it up.. you're doing great!

also, for me at least.. if I go back and eat sad foods, it makes me crave sad more.. but if I stay away from them and eat only raw.. my tastes buds crave raw! good luck!
