    i hate banana flavouring too. So much so that i dont have anaesthetic when i have a piercing in my mouth (i have a few-2 tongue and i've had 5 lip!) because its meant to be banana flavour and its NASTY however, i was pleasantly suprised, its actually one of my favourites now

  40. pippa

    Just an idle thought but.......

    good point, i'm not sure. However, i had mostly soups to begin with because i never really crave sweet food. After discovering i HATE the soups, i've switched over to all shakes. But even now, i'd still rather have a pizza than a chocolate bar so there might be hope for us yet!

    why protein?

    Me and james are finding it strange that neither of us are really craving carbs, everything that seems to trigger that 'mmm, i could use some of that right now' feelings are all proteins. Cheese, lamb, chicken etc i was wondering if anyone knew why this was (or if we're both just weird?)
