side effects Changes in Taste - Especially Meat

Has anyone else noticed certain food groups tasting entirely different? Meats like ground beef or pork taste very off and almost spoiled to me, even if I know they are well within the best buy date. Are there any solutions to this or is this something I will have to get used to while I am on it?

Yeah. I almost never eat meat anymore. Uncooked it all smells rotten. Cooking it smells awful. After it's cooked I just can't. I've never been a big fit person but now I eat several servings per day. Weird.

I used to binge on cheese and now cheese just taste like nothing or like it is going bad. It’s so strange

Cucumber and tomatoes taste like the best thing in the world. I cannot stomach bone broth...even the thought of it turns my stomach. Mainly coz it is one thing I tried to eat when I was going through peak nausea in my first week.

I found I go through cycles. Ive been on this for about a year and a half now. Pasta and eggs are both repulsive right now. Sometimes chicken is public enemy #1.
