Sweets don't taste the same

Has this happened to you?

Okay maybe it's all in my head but the last few times I tried something sweet it didn't taste the same. It's too sweet and gives me a nausiated feeling now when it didnt' use to do that.

I just ate a 1/2 piece of my Birthday cake and I was going to have the whole piece but couldn't stomach it. I had whipped cream (fat free) topping on it and only a teaspoon of frosting but it was too sweet and made me nausiated. The same thing happened during Thanksgiving with the pumpkin pie.

I really would have preferred an orange now instead or orange juice.

EDIT: to correct spelling error

agreed. i had my first resee's peanut butter cup in ages last night. it tasted like clay.
haha

Oh now that's discusting LOL

i just had some nuts. i used to binge on them. now they just taste like...nuts. it doesn't have that addictive appeal to it anymore, i don't feel compelled to eat it.

I agree that sweet things taste a little sweeter but, I think some of that sick to your stomach feeling might because you know it's not good for you.

I do cake decorating and it's so hard to ever really enjoy a slice of cake knowing it's nothing but LARD and powdered sugar in decorating icing. I kid you not- one 8 inch double layer cake *pretty standard size* will have about 1 lb of powdered sugar and 1/2 lb of veg. shortening in it.  That's if the icing is thin! those cakes you get from wal-mart that they use the combed sides use more icing than that!

That's really enough to make you sick just thinking about it. 

a couple weeks ago i had some gummybears and felt ill immediately after. partially guilt, partially because the sugar made me feel dehydrated and icky.

on friday i had a hershey bar (it used to be my favorite chocolate) and it just tasted so bland.
i had orange juice before and it made me feel sick to my stomach, it was too sweet. the same happened when i tried some of my friend's cupcakes. i cant handle sweets as well as i used to anymore.

I pretty much gave up sweets (candy, cookies, muffins, cakes, brownies, ice cream, etc.) about 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with diabetes ... and have been eating artificially-sweetened / sugarfree stuff ever since. (Along with an astonishing array of fried, fat-filled foods ... hence my weight problems.)

The weird thing is that now that I am eating healthier (and have given up diet sodas), I just seem to eat a lot less sweet-tasting stuff of all kinds these days ... less sugarfree stuff.  I do, however, still like flavored herbal teas, apples once or twice a week, and sugarfree sour gum.

I envy you ladies:) I wish I could do the same. Mollymouser: how did you give up sweets like this?

That's why I don't like artificial sweeteners - they'll confuse your body and keep you from losing your sweet tooth... I like real sugar but not very much of it at a time... I bought a pack of berry smoothies yesterday for a treat, and it was VILE because it was so sickly sweet - I'm going to have to dilute them 50-50 with regular milk and make like a berry milkshake to get the other three bottles down :P

I tasted some 'fake' chocolate mousse, and found that way too sweet-tasting - even though it wasn't real sugar it was artificially-sweetened, it tasted absolutely cloying to me and I couldn't eat it.  

I still love icecream and chocolate though :P

(btw, I've NEVER liked really sweet desserts - I'd always pull most of the icing off the cake before I ate it.)  

Nope, I do not have this problem! ...unfortunately.

I can relate, sugar is actually an aquired taste (though most of us aquired it when we were too young to remember). When I cut sugar out of my diet, I had no desire for it (which was good for me), somehow I did end up eating it again. Thanks for reminding me that if I stop eating it for a while I will not crave it anymore.....oh the things we forget.
