Abstinence.

Hear me out.

I have never had such sweet bread as I had after being on Keto for a year. As in actual Ketosis, doctor verified.

When I started eating "normal" again, lots of things tasted way sweeter than I remembered. But like saltiness and other things you get used to it.

I cut down on salt and eating out now kind of sucks, everything tastes like a salt stick.

It is either that or stuff is loaded with butter. I can't think of a single restaurant that I've been to in the last two years that I crave going to again. I keep thinking it is the area I live in or the places I've been, but at the end of the day, I think I'm just spoiled by cooking at home.

I can't eat out. We've learned to cook at home a lot of our favorite foods and they taste so much better at home now. Not in any way saying we're chefs, but just the over salting and too much butter that restaurants use is not good.

I can attest to this. You don’t even have to avoid all carbs. Just cut out sweet sugary stuff and things will start tasting sweeter. It works with salt too.

You're right. The reason I switched to using artificial is because I'm borderline hypoglycemic so I have abstained at periods in my life and yeah it's better. But then you really just want something sweet and down you go.

You can also force the contrast by having something bitter, like unsweetened black coffee, before something not normally considers sweet, like bread.
