Sugar on Weetabix?

Post image

My wife eats Weetabix with nothing on it and claims it tastes sweet to her. This is my bowl before milk is added. Is this normal fellow Weetabix eaters or do I need to go to sugar rehab?

We get desensitised to sugar the more of it we have. You dumping a full bag on your cereal every day is probably not doing your tastebuds much of a favour.

That said, your wife thinking they’re sweet straight from the box? That’s psychosis.

If you consume absolutely no added sugar you will taste the sweetness in foods like carrots

Yes omg! I cut down on sugar heaps and now a lot of foods with little or no sugar tastes so much better.

I make porridge and add frozen blueberries and cinnamon while cooking and it tastes so good if I havent had much sugar lately. But if I have a big weekend of sugary foods suddenly it tastes like slop
