Sugar cravings gone....?

[Jenaelise]

I hope this isn't a common repost... I wanted to poll the group and see if anyone has experienced a reduced appetite especially for sweets after vaping "dessert-y" or sweet flavors? I'm not complaining, it's a great diet tool! I have been vaping DFWvapor's hand made vanilla ice cream for 2 days now, and find that when I would usually scour the kitchen for something sweet, a few puffs off of the ecig does the trick! Of course, I'm very new and it's only been a couple days - but I'm loving it and wondering if anyone else has had the same experience?

to be honest, since vaping I am eating junk food ALOT less.

Call me insane but i've been having cravings for Celery, Spinach, Carrots, - Pretty funny but true. I never thought about it (well I did wonder why recently my sweet tooth has gone) but vaping Gorilla juice which is a sweet banana tobacco vape is probably the reason LOL

I agree but other foods tastes really good.Vaping Yellow Cake.

+1 to that. My own unverified theory is that as your taste buds and sense of smell come back you become more able to taste subtler flavors and textures and thus enjoy stuff like veggies, nuts, steamed or simmered versus fried and so on. Junk food usually has ungodly amounts of salt, sugar and MSG which are able to break through even when your taste and smell are dulled down by the smoke....

That makes sense! I've been way more into teas and healthy dishes recently that once seemed bland. It will be a good experiment to see how this evolves!

I've heard of a few people using ecigs to diet. In my mind it makes sense. I want something sweet to eat, how about a vape on some banana split juice? Sounds good to me! I use the banana split juice to curb my cravings at work, I run an old fashioned Ice Cream shoppe.

I actually mentioned this to a friend today!

I love the sweet and fruity flavours and have noticed a serious decrease in my cravings, but for both sweet and savoury treat lol. Great diet!

It took about 4 weeks from quitting cigs for my taste buds to come back. I opened a can of soup that I had always been meh about and I couldn't believe that I could actually taste a lot of things that I had never tasted before. I also cut sugar out of my coffee for the first time in 40 years. Some of that may have been because, about the same time, I started roasting my own beans and using an Aeropress instead of my crappy old coffeemaker, but still.....

I think the theory about revived taste buds is correct. I use a lot less sugar and salt in everything now.

I have noticed that I hardly crave sweets @ all anymore! I am usually a big sweets junkie, but I have been passing up a lot of Girl Scout cookies lately. I mainly vape sweet flavors, especially fruity stuff.

I don't eat near the amount of sweets that I used to either...nor do I drink as much coffee.

I am about the same. I find some sweet liquids have me vaping more though...

That was something I discovered from day one -- if I had a tasty juice, I didn't get the munchies nearly as often. In fact, since starting vaping, my only munchie-fits have been for crunchy things, not for specific sweets or ice cream, which I'm quite pleased about as I'm on a self-imposed push to get fit (I signed up for a 5k run in September, need to lose pounds and train for it now).

YES!!! I have found that vaping sweet, dessert type juices satisfy not only my nic craving but also my sweet tooth! I love it! I barely snack on anything anymore! I had no idea how wonderful vaping would be - I only wish I knew about it sooner!
