One week off sugar.

I'm still very exited about this, and I think I can keep it up.

I'm currently eating a couple fresh sweet potatoes that I boiled for roughly an hour. Nothing else.

This morning I cooked a pile of chicken by throwing it into a pan, waiting for it to get crispy, flipping it, and waiting for it to get done. I still need to work on the options of adding water and a lid. Only the one ingredient.

A bunch of my meals have been a large can of chicken, drained, with the heads of a thing of fresh broccoli, mixed and microwaved for three minutes, followed by a sliced apple.

I'm sure a couple weeks ago this would have sounded gross to me, and not worth living through. It's nice how quickly taste recovers when you stop eating garbage - this stuff tastes great.

I think the taste thing might sort of depend on the person. I eat considerably more fast food than I should (and, coincidentally, just recently decided I was going to stop eating all forms of it) and I still think everything you listed tastes good. Hell, I think rice cakes taste good, and just about everyone else I know thinks they resemble cardboard in both taste and texture.

So I think it depends partially on the person. I ate about as healthy as possible as a kid (as I was forced to by my parents) and thought everything tasted good then as well. The way I perceived the taste of food never really changed. It possible once I filter all the crap out of my body, things might start tasting even better. I guess I'll know soon enough.
