Lately I've been working through a medical issue that requires me to severely restrict my fat intake. I just ate a sandwich and decided to include some Doritos type spicy chips on the side. A luxury, if you can call it that, I haven't had in a while.
I about did a Homer Simpson drooling arrrrr with my first taste. Without question the pleasure centers of my brain were firing with a wow, this tastes great kind of thing.
It wasn't that long ago I was eating freely - maybe a few months. But in that short time limiting my fatty food intake I can definitely tell the difference. Before that I would eat a side of chips and hardly notice. Now? Big difference. I can see what the article is saying. I've tried to quit smoking before and upon failure my first return cigarette had a similar effect. It's more than the chips just tasted good. It was more like satisfying an itch I didn't know I had type of a pleasure satisfaction thing.
