The incredible thing is, our tastes physically change in just a matter of several weeks. You're encouraged to try healthy eating as an experiment for just three weeks - I think you may change your mind on consuming unhealthy foods.
> An inability to perceive low concentrations of fatty acids in foods was associated with greater consumption of fatty foods, specifically butter, meat, dairy, and increasing BMI.

> Within a behavioral economic perspective, the reinforcement value of low-fat foods may increase following a low-fat dietary intervention, whereas the reinforcing properties of high-fat foods may decline. This is desirable as low-fat foods hold many advantages over high-fat foods in terms of weight maintenance.

> The preference results of this study demonstrate a steady, progressive decline in liking for salt in soup following dietary intervention and monitoring activities aimed at reducing sodium intake. Approximately 3 mo were required for preferences to stabilize at a significantly lower salt level, which was maintained at 1 yr. This may be of relevance in clinical settings where low-sodium diets are used for treatment or prevention of hypertension.

> Alterations in the fat content of the diet modulated taste sensitivity to C18:1 among lean subjects, which was increased following a 4-week period of fat restriction and attenuated following the high-fat diet. The failure of the high-fat diet to alter fatty acid taste thresholds among OW/OB subjects suggests that these individuals were 'adapted' to high-fat exposure, perhaps because of differences in habitual fat consumption. Taken together, these data suggest that excessive dietary fat attenuates nutrient sensing epithelia response in the oral cavity, which could be associated with changes in diet and weight status.

- beachstartup 11y agooh, you're one of the low-fat people, and a proselytizer to boot. fancy that.
- noondip 11y agoWhy be flippant? I've simply cited resources which may be relevant to your interests. Do you have a problem with the works, or any evidence to the contrary which I may examine?
- beachstartup 11y agoi don't negotiate with terrorists.
- noondip 11y agoDo yourself a favor and spend an hour in your local hospital's cardiology department, then you will surely experience true terror. What's more extreme - a triple-bypass surgery, or eating broccoli every day?

- beachstartup 11y agoyou're the reason why everyone hates vegans.
- noondip 11y agoReally, with the ad hominem attack? Why not ask yourself why you feel threatened by mere information, rather than resort to childish name-calling?
- dang 11y ago> you're the reason why everyone hates vegans. You've broken the HN guidelines repeatedly in this thread. Personal attacks are not allowed, even when someone else sounds smug to you.
