smoking can cause foods to taste more bland. also i know cutting out sugar from your diet will allow your tolerance to go down and the flavor will be stronger again for example powerade used to taste very bland to me i cut down on soda and started drinking water a lot the next time i tried a powerade the flavor was overwhelming
why does the my food not taste as good as it used to? . i'm a bit underweight and have i've been trying to gain weight. i used to love food and ate like a horse but never gained a pound. over the past few years my appetite has dwindled down to nearly nothing. i don't get hunger pangs instead i get nauseous when i forget to eat for too long. . recently my appetite has taken a worse turn - when i eat the food does not appeal or satisfy. it tastes okay but not enjoying meals makes trying to eat even harder.
