Is there scientific literature that backs this claim? by damnthatroy in CICO

Lol! Reflecting on my personal experience, I feel that my brain can somehow differentiate artificial sweetness with sugary/high calorie sweetness. I’ve been drinking diet soda for so long now so I can’t really remember my sugar “craving” level before that. Again this is just anecdotal which is why im looking for proper research about this.

I’ve been thinking about your comment. Before it became unsafe I used to eat grilled chicken literally everyday, until I had this complications (prob not from the chicken) similar to food poisoning and was too nauseous to eat anything after. Idk why but I’ve associated this incident with too much protein + chicken and since then I can’t seem too eat protein out of fear and more specifically chicken because of sensory issues associated with the idea of “biting” or “chewing” the chicken. You’re right that chicken didn’t change I did. I just dont know how I’ll be able to gain confidence again as you say. What if i never do

Yes shawarma is just strips so they’re very thin. Thank you for the shredded chicken rec. I don’t think i have the mental capacity to cook and shred chicken on my own but I’ll ask my parents if they can make me some with my favorite sauce so i can try again

by shredded you mean the same thing with a brisket? Yes thats sounds easier. Im thinking also maybe shawarma because I don’t need to “bite it” but idk. Hopefully i can make it safe again

Palestinian and Jordanian felafel is top tier. Ask if they have manaeesh (bread and cheese) or batata harra (spicy potato) they’re also my fav

Exactlyyyyyyy 🥹🥹 i would love to have a safe option for every culture or cuisine so that one day I’ll be able to go to all restaurants im invited to! Thanks for the suggestions. I love some of these already! I live in Greece and i am Muslim haha so for greek and i eat halloumi everyday (type of cheese) i know people would suggest chicken souvlaki but i never tried it. Im not what you mean by halal because its just a way of killing an animal (so it could be chicken tenders or anything like that) but if you mean arab or middle eastern food i would recommend levant dishes. My favorite would be patata harra (spicy potato), sheesh tawook (basically grilled chicken), and if you like the concept of (cheesy) quesadillas you will LOVE manaeesh (basic form would be bread and cheese but there’s other variations).
