The Gold Coin Trick -- How to Detox Your Senses

The Best Tasting Chocolate in the World doesn't hold a light with the crappiest chocolate.

What am I talking about?

Well, I'm not always at 6% body fat year round. I believe in eating anything I crave as part of my mesocycle of training. I found it to put on muscle and strength must faster. It's a phase of my training that I REALLY look forward to.

There's a myth about taste buds losing their sense as you get older. What really happens is that you get so use to eating certain types of foods that other types of food don't appeal to your senses anymore.

Here's how it works: While you're chewing, the food releases chemicals that immediately travel up into your nose. These chemicals trigger the olfactory receptors inside the nose. They work together with your taste buds to create the true flavor of that oatmeal taste by telling the brain all about it!

OATMEAL ! No, I'm not kidding about the oatmeal.

Here's how to increase your senses of taste and smell. I go through another phase of training which involves cutting out anything sweet tasting for 3 months. I mean EVERYTHING.
I eat the most bland things you can think of. Plain steel-cut Oats is one of them.
After 3 months, I then allow myself a cheat food. Guess what that is?

Banana!

It doesn't taste that a regular banana you buy a grocery store. This is a banana on steroids!
The flavor of this banana is like eating candied banana dessert.

Why would it taste so good to me? For the past three months, I've put my taste and smell sense through a natural detox. A natural detox is basically eliminating something that you are visibly or unconsciously addicted to in it's complete degree.

Imagine this, normally you would eat a piece of your favorite chocolate and it would really impress your taste buds, but imagine if you were to deprive your taste buds of anything sweet for three months. Would would your favorite chocolate taste like?

My point is, I bet I could give you a piece of crappy chocolate (like those Gold Coin chocolates)
and make it taste that your eating your most favorite chocolate in the world.

So, stop abusing your taste buds and sense of smell and you will enjoy more types of food in life and appreciate it, even Oatmeal or the crappiest chocolate in the world.
