@tyw and @Westside PUFAs when im doing low/now fat i dont find anything starchy appetizing except bread made with no oil ofc and some kind of honey or jam on. Potatoes, rice etc does not taste much. How do you get by with eating those foods?
Everything tastes bland by itself besides ripe fruit. Sweet fruit is the only non-condiment food besides maybe some vegetables like raw carrot or raw cucumber but one is not getting sufficient carbohydrate calories from raw carrot or cucumber. A lot of things taste bland without condiments. Salt is a condiment and an essential nutrient. Everything tastes bland without salt, besides fruit. Meat is bland without salt. Meat is marinated with plenty of salt and sweet tangy sour marinades. Nuts are roasted and salted. Olives are soaked in salty brine. Bacon is cured with salt. Bacon without salt would be disgusting and unsalted butter is disgusting. Unsalted hard boiled eggs? Disgusting. I eat rice and potatoes with salty homemade no oil condiments. Usually a tomato base, like tomato paste or a crushed tomato sauce. Maple syrup, mustard and ACV is a good baked potato wedge dip. Salsa. Non-estrogenic herbs. Garlic and onion. I don't like sweet with my starch except for using maple syrup for a dipping sauce or on pancakes. I found that lowering my salt intake has adjusted my taste buds to appreciate the salt I do add. Of course adding butter, cream and cheese would increase the amount of dopamine dramatically with every bite, but unfortunately that causes problems for me like adipose tissue enlargement and blood sugar disregulation so luckily the no butter or cream added to my mashed potatoes still tastes great. Yellow potaotes are natually buttery. The biggest obstacle in eating lots of potatoes is the amount of cooking you have to do. Rice is simple. You just throw it in a rice cooker.
