Re-Train Your Taste Buds


Think you'll never be able to trade your whole milk for skim? Take heart. A study published in Appetite found that women who ate fewer high-fat foods over a six-month period began to prefer lower fat foods naturally. So go ahead and switch from full-fat to low-fat alternatives knowing that your taste buds will, indeed, adjust with time.

Taste buds behave as we treat

Taste buds behave as we treat them. If they are use to high fat they will have liking for high fat food.

It's true. My husband and I

It's true. My husband and I used to drink milk from glass jugs because it would have the layer of cream on top. Then we switched to 2% and now we are drinking 1%. It did take a little time but your taste buds do adapt. Now if I have cereal with whole milk, it almost tastes like heavy cream to me and I don't like the taste!
