[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1615053, member: 438800"] Major change in sense of taste, for me, since going on the low-carb diet. [LIST] [*]Things that used to taste bitter now taste sweet. Unsweetened black coffee, for instance. [*]Beer, which is an occasional treat. My fave is German Hefe Weissbier (wheat beer, incredibly carb-heavy). It used to taste just like a "good beer." Nowadays it tastes just as good, but incredibly "wheaty" (and sweet, as a sort of "second wave" after the initial wheat hit). [/LIST] No sure about sense of smell. I don't think I've noticed a change in the [I]nature[/I] of the smells, but it is possible that my sense of smell has improved: my wife has always had a better sense of smell than I have, but nowadays when she mentions a smell during our daily nature walks, I can usually smell it too, and that was not necessarily the case in the past. Whether that has any connection with low-carb, or whether it is just that I am much fitter, I have no idea. I may just be imagining it. [/QUOTE]
