I mentioned a couple weeks ago that a couple of the side affects I've been experiencing since starting this going sugar little journey in January is that 1. my taste for salt has changed and salty things that I normally used to eat are now tasting too salty to me so my sodium intake along with sugar has decreased, and 2. I wake up in the morning craving leafy greens like kale, arugula, spinach, and even baby bok choy.
See this wall of Kale at the grocery store. This is porn for me now :)
If you are going to have side effects, I would have to say that the ones I've been experiencing are the kind you want to have. I mean what doctor is going to be concerned over the fact that now you want less salt and are eating more greens. It actually sounds like a doctor's dream come true for their patient.
Yesterday on Noshtopia Phoenix, I posted a picture of my Sunday breakfast which was a green leafy salad with orange juice. Besides eating a green salad on Sunday morning, the other odd thing I did was get up at 7:30am which is basically unheard of for me as I am a night owl...especially on Sunday morning where it is my one day I feel absolutely no guilt staying in bed until noon.
I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, so thank you body for these wildly unexpected but happily accepted changes in our palate. Sometime soon, I want to try this breakfast Quinoa dish Martha made for Sunday brunch.
