I have the same problem as palish: I want my water to taste like something :) (and we do have some excellent water here). My brain does want me to eat fries and salty stuff, too. I managed to go down to about 200 lb which is still overweight (and in my country it IS considered overweight, like palish would be as well), I'd like to go down to 75-80 kg as well but I work 12 hs and study 4 (Master's degree, plus it kills my entire weekend). I managed to go down 10 kg in 2 months with a diet of about 1000 calories, but it was killing me (I've since regained 8 of the 10 kgs). Food did start to taste better at the end of that diet, but I still love the sugary and salty unhealthy stuff. Thanks for the post and the entire discussion.
