Forgive the impertinence , but your dont have an eating disorder do you, just the way you wrote it.
If you try drinking bad milk your gag reflex will be activated by your body as this is an unwelcome thing. If you eat something that your body desires the body will welcome it and request more, with the opposite of the gag reflex. Your tastes can change rapidly depending on what your body needs, ie that food is very moreish.
Hi all
So Im currently trying to lose weight. My problem is i love food and chocolate is my weakness. But what occurred to me is if our taste buds are on our tongue which give us the pleasure of eating chocolate then why do we only feel satisfied if we swallow it?
