One thing that always surprises my coaching clients…
Is how much their taste changes when they shift from a diet heavy in animal products and ultra-salty, sugary, processed foods, to clean, whole-food ingredients.
Here’s what they start noticing 👇
1️⃣ Intense cravings calm down
The “uncontrollable” pull toward fat, oil, and sugar fades. Yes, there’s an adjustment period, but once the palate resets, cravings lose their grip.
2️⃣ Subtle flavors come alive
When taste buds aren’t constantly overstimulated , foods actually taste… better. You start noticing natural flavors you didn’t even know were there before.
3️⃣ Natural sweetness tastes sweet again
Fruit, sweet potatoes, carrots, even oats become deeply satisfying, without needing added sugar.
4️⃣ Meals feel more satisfying
Whole foods are fiber-rich and water-dense, helping your brain register fullness so you stop eating when you’ve had enough.
5️⃣ Energy evens out
As blood sugar stabilizes, the urge for salty or sugary “pick-me-ups” fade away. So no more chasing quick dopamine hits. Plus when a client goes back to eating something unhealthy, the difference to their energy and how they feel afterwards is totally apparent.
6️⃣ Cravings become information, not commands
Instead of reacting automatically, clients start recognizing cravings as signals. They can begin to detect when their body is actually craving certain nutrients, or when it is stress, boredom, or dehydration and they can respond more intentionally.
7️⃣ Highly processed foods start tasting… off
Many of them are shocked when foods they once loved now taste off - too sugary, too heavy, salty, greasy, even noticing the taste of artificial flavors and chemicals.
Yes, there’s an adjustment period. But once your taste buds and body recalibrate, cravings quiet down and the right choices stop feeling like work.
