Simple foods like blueberries for instance are a taste sensation. Has anyone else experienced this?</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/63110/sense-of-taste-and-smell/63121#63121 Answer by Jo T for Sense of taste and smell Jo T 2011-09-06T15:32:27Z 2011-09-06T15:32:27Z <p>Yes! I'm 3 months in and eating things I wouldn't have touched with a ten foot pole months ago. I can't get enough sauerkraut, I literally eat it at every meal. I have a love for muscles, clams and game. I'm also more willing to try new things and I usually like them. Another big taste explosion for me is salt-- love it!! </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/63110/sense-of-taste-and-smell/63126#63126 Answer by Efaitch for Sense of taste and smell Efaitch 2011-09-06T16:07:14Z 2011-09-06T16:07:14Z <p>Smell &amp; taste definitely affected here! I can't wear perfume any longer. It's just too smelly!</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/63110/sense-of-taste-and-smell/63131#63131 Answer by Travis Culp for Sense of taste and smell Travis Culp 2011-09-06T16:27:09Z 2011-09-06T16:27:09Z <p>You've possibly addressed a long-standing marginal zinc status, which is an important nutrient for preventing dysgeusia.</p> <p>That'd probably take more than 6 weeks, so it may just be that removing the highly intense hyperpalatable foods for a while has recalibrated your tastes to the default settings. </p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/63110/sense-of-taste-and-smell/63134#63134 Answer by Josh M for Sense of taste and smell Josh M 2011-09-06T16:35:24Z 2011-09-06T16:35:24Z <p>Smell &amp; taste are almost super human now lol - 90% dark chocolate is sweet to me, fresh strawberries are almost mind blowing. The smell of bacon cooking is so complex now.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/63110/sense-of-taste-and-smell/63152#63152 Answer by Aili for Sense of taste and smell Aili 2011-09-06T18:24:13Z 2011-09-06T18:24:13Z <p>YES! taste buds very efficient these days, helping me to enjoy each bite of whatever we find in the garden and that which we cook.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/63110/sense-of-taste-and-smell/63159#63159 Answer by Joy for Sense of taste and smell Joy 2011-09-06T19:17:58Z 2011-09-06T19:17:58Z <p>Definitely, when I went Paleo the first time about 3 months ago I remember tasting the natural sweetness in fruits like apples, strawberries- everything! To me eating an apple was like having ice cream lol.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/63110/sense-of-taste-and-smell/126601#126601 Answer by ollen for Sense of taste and smell ollen 2012-06-09T21:54:50Z 2012-06-09T21:54:50Z <p>I think the most intense change for me has been bananas, before they were a tasteless moosh...now theyr more sugary tasting to me than say tootsie rolls used to taste</p>
