i think your taste buds are the last thing to change on this diet but i think about 8 months into the diet your taste buds will start too change and with in a year or two you will no longer want pizza , spagetti etc

this is one of the things that make the diet so easy to go on for life but you have to exp it for yourself cause theres no way you could know what it feels like to have your taste buds change and no longer want pizza or spagetti

also make sure you avoid omega-6 polyunsaturated vegetable oils found in things like margin cause they are part responsible for heart disease so eat butter instead

remmber to get lots of Omega-3

and remmber to follow the Atkins diet 100% your food % should be around

65% Fat 30% protein 5% carbs

20 net carbs at the start and eat lots of fat so it gets your metabolism to change from a glucose burning one to a fat burning one

and drink extra extra water during weight loss

and just read lots of stuff on these forums for more info
