[QUOTE="Ixarix, post: 1591985, member: 439065"] I just ate my first piece of chocolate since being diagnosed, and being discharged from the hospital. Actually 1 1/2 piece of Lindt 85 %. It was very nice, right combination of bitter sweet. I researched it before trying it. I agree things are way to sweet in our world. I was such a sugar addict, I use to love coke and other sweet fizzy drinks. But I wasn't tasting things well, or sometimes at all. I'd drink a pop and it would barely have any flavor. Or I'd be out having sushi and I'd would be able to taste the wasabi if I had to much sugar in my body. Sugar will dull your sense of taste absolutely. I knew that it was because I was consuming to much sugar, and if I stopped things would taste much better. Now, I been pretty good about sticking to my diet. I haven't really craved any sweet fizzy drinks. I've stuck to water, milk, tea, and coffee mostly. I have to admit food tastes amazing now, I'm tasting it properly again, and it is like I'm discovering food and eating again for the first time. I did have half an apple for lunch the other day, and I have to admit it tasted amazing. I know we have to be careful of fruit. But the diet plan I was given suggested half an apple with a meal was okay. [/QUOTE]
