Sugar is awful. It changes your expectation for taste so you always want dessert, sweet drinks, and for everything to be sweetened. I genuinely enjoyed my diet the most when I didn't eat anything sweetened. The only reason I'm not doing it now is recently moving house, getting a new job, and wanting to save time and money. But I intend to return to my no-sweetened-things diet. Cheese and nuts are such a richer and more satisfying high-calorie treat than chocolate, when you're used to it.
Once, I couldn't imagine drinking coffee without sugar. Now I couldn't imagine drinking coffee with it.

I added so much salt to my foods that they were nearly inedible to anyone else but myself, and likewise normal food always tasted bland unless I added extra salt. I quit using added salt, and in the following few months my tastes noticeably changed. I still crave salty foods like olives or soy sauce, but I can now eat a meal and enjoy it without reaching for the shaker.
