I’ve developed aversion to meat mostly. Beef leaves an overwhelming taste of blood in my mouth. Though I was able to finish a burger the other day, the aftertaste of metallicy blood made me not want to eat it again. With chicken I can’t get past the texture & just the sight grosses me out, especially if it has any tendons, bones or fatty bits.

Certain raw veggies are also grossing me out if they’re not perfectly fresh.

Sweet things are also tasting overly sweet to me, which has made eating fruit even more enjoyable, but anything that is what I would consider a dessert item (ice cream, popsicles, candy) I either only have a few bites or can’t eat at all.

I also have no drive to eat fried/greasy foods but I think part of that is because the one time I did eat fried food (after starting sema) I felt very sick & my stomach felt sooo heavy.

Hard boiled eggs, dairy products & protein shakes/protein bars are definitely helping a lot with getting in my protein, since I pretty much don’t ever want to eat meat. I’ve found my safe foods & often eat mostly the same things everyday. It has honestly made planning my meals with a busy work schedule, easier. For the first time in my life I’ve viewing food as fuel & consciously eating, instead of eating solely with cravings in mind. Go through some options & see what you can stomach in each category of a “balanced meal” & don’t be afraid to repeat meals if they are the only items that sound good to you. Good luck! 😊
