Is it weird that I don't crave sugar anymore?
I remember growing up craving sugar from candy & ice cream & etc


but hitting the age of 28 - I no longer think about it or desire it

Instead, thinking about protein and healthy food

Chat is this normal . . . ? :gordon:

If you drink alcohol that gives you the sugar. Often people that get off alcohol crave sugar.

Otherwise, sugar is extremely rare in nature so carving it is a rarity in history.

Similar to if someone stops using a drug and gets to the point they don't crave it anymore.

I feel the same. Sugary junk food messes me up. I'm always down for protein or vegetables for max energy levels.

It could be due to you reaching your age when your brain's development has matured.
Children are actually wired to crave sweeter flavors, it's some kind of survival mechanism allegedly. That changes as you age, and probably doesn't explain all of it, but could be related.

It's why sometimes people cannot fathom possibly enjoying something when they're 10, but by the time they're 30 it's a dietary staple.
Drinking soda and eating sugary snacks will do that. If you cut that stuff out you won't crave it once you wean yourself off of it. That stuff causes your blood sugar to spike and crash therefore It's addictive.

maybe you have some kind of deficiency in your diet that makes you crave foods that have the vitamins you need. i think about what foods to eat when shopping and then again a few minutes before cooking. i can't really remember the last time I had food cravings. maybe last year when I was craving pickles for some reason.

edit: you could be pregnant
Lol if I was a woman

Normally I'd have probably used the word "developed" because I think it's a more common vocabulary when talking about the brain in that way, but I thought, 'no this is the internet, I should try going with the less common, 'matured' because maybe fewer people will have negative think about that word.'

I think the moral of the story is that men should consume some sugar from time to time to keep from becoming meat popsicles that a giant would want to come pick up and place onto his meat popsicle shelf.
Me personally I am slowly moving away from sugar. Don’t get me wrong, I would still drink soda like sprite but stuff my candy I’m moving away. That and my teeth is suffering the effects of candy. If I eat something sweet then my gums will start to hurt. The feeling is like a mix of needles and a brain freeze. That’s what it feels to me.
never been much interested in sugary or sweet flavours myself, always prefer salty and savoury.
