anecdotally, fasting can help restore this sensitivity. Ever noticed "healthy" foods like say broccoli taste amazing after fasting >= 24 hrs?


No, and I fast between 23-25 hours six days a week and occasionally have longer fasts. My longest fast was five days.

Broccoli always tastes the exact same.


Sadly, I haven't been able to ascertain these food as tastier despite fasting for 48 hours or more.

They're probably more delicious though.


The key is to not reintroduce competing foods. To pick a cliche thing, if you reintroduce oreos then yeah, the broccoli will pale.

The key is to break the flavor dependence, then to only have healthy foods.
