I'm on week 6 and noticing a lot of changes in my food habits and cravings...

Before i started smoking I ate pretty healthy, I've always been a veggie person, even as a kid and I ate less red meat and more seafood. I smoked for about a year and half, so I still remember my non smoker days pretty well

After starting smoking I started eating a lot more fast food and junky food. I never connected the two together; I just assumed it was because of a busy lifestyle and laziness. But I'm wondering if they are connected somehow.

Now that I'm past hellish cravings and feeling pretty good I'm noticing I'm also eating a lot healthier without trying. Similar to my non smoking days. Maybe its being able to taste food again; but I'm actually cravings fruits and veggies.

The most random one was steamed broccoli with lemon juice over it. We had no broccoli so I had to make a trip to the store. I guess its better than a cig craving.

I'm curious is anyone's food tastes shifted like this after they quit?

You are doing something fantastically positive for your body by quitting smoking, whether consciously or unconsciously you will want to amplify that good work.

Many of the quitters I know have started exercising more or improved their diet, but not all, some find that they have replaced the supposed reward of smoking smoking with treats when I say reward of smoking I of course meen the perceived reward as its just a relief from nicotine cravings and just another lie that nicotine tells us.
