I have a theory about sugar

I honestly think the amount of sugar we consume in the western diet has ruined our ability to enjoy healthy foods such as veggies, fruits and nuts!!!

I am currently doing an elimination diet for health reasons, so I have to cut added sugar, many fruits that have high sugar, dairy and gluten. This diet is temporary but I think even after this diet I don't ever want to go back to adding sugar since that has been the biggest change for me. Once I cut sugar, I noticed how sweet everything that wasn't sweet to me before is, veggies are so sweet and enjoyable even without dressing which sounds shocking if you told me that before this diet. My taste buds have really changed and now I crave healthy foods and I can enjoy the taste and the natural sweetness much better. This led me to thinking that the reason I did not like veggies before was because my diet was very highly proccessed with so much sugar, this has in some ways ruined my taste buds ability to notice more stubtle flavours.

Honestly for people who currently don't enjoy, veggies, fruits and other healthy foods I would try to experiment how your taste buds can change when cutting sugar. It's so worth it imo and I can never go back to added sugar maybe only as an occasional cheat meal but that's it.
