I did a keto diet to lose weight. After two years, I've been re-introducing moderate carbs. I still avoid sugar and regular bread and pasta, but I will take a bite of something just to taste it, or will splurge on some fruit or a small occasional serving of a starchy vegetable like corn.

The funny part is on the occasions where I am like "Sure I'll eat one french fry..." I often will chew it up to taste and then spit it out. It's just a weird instinct that my body doesn't want it.
