Yeah no kidding. I've also been looking into sodium-free salt substitutes cause there's certain foods like eggs that I'm just so used to eating with salt, but it's all potassium!! Which I also have to be careful of!! RAAAA!!

Huh yeah that is weird. I'm having to watch my heart rate too though for similar reasons. I remember the doctors saying sometimes with young people are hearts just kinda go fast sometimes for no apparent reasons? That it's likely some sort of latent or subconscious stress but that for people in their 20s and younger it's not the weirdest thing to happen. Definitely keep an eye on it though if it becomes a consistent problem.
I actually am a fairly picky eater which is part of why this is gonna be such a lifestyle change for me, haha. But we're adapting and working through it.

Cheers and good times!
As a kid I used to be a picky eater. I guess a few bad run-ins with trying new foods really got to me, but as an adult, I've been much more adventurous. I'll usually at least try something before passing judgment, although there's a few things that I'd just have to give a pass.
For me, I'm not crazy at all about tuna fish and I've tried it multiple times. And anything with mayo is usually not something I go for, either. You definitely won't see me diving for a potato salad at a barbecue. xD

I definitely am willing to try new foods and such if given the opportunity, much more so than when I was a kid, but I'm still a picky eater regardless haha. Textures for whatever reason are something I've always been super sensitive to when eating and it just makes things wonky.
I can like tolerate tuna but my mom made me eat it like every day for several weeks during the pandemic so now it just sorta makes my stomach turn.

Ah yeah, olives are another thing I'm not crazy about. I gave them another shot a short while ago and their taste is just... off and kind of distracting from everything else in the salad (usually what I find them in). My dad doesn't like olives either, and he doesn't like mushrooms on top of that (I'm okay with them, though I won't go out of my way to add them in myself).
I also don't care for mustard or American cheese (not fond of blue cheese crumbles either). With cheese, I'd WAY rather have Swiss, cheddar, or provolone. But yeah, quickest way to kill a burger for me would be to put American cheese, mustard, and mayo on that. You might as well dump gravy, peas, and orange slices on my ice cream.
And yeah, I get the thing about textures. That's what really got me as a kid. If something looked messy or slimy, I assumed it would taste terrible and wanted nothing to do with it. So something like a burrito or a pot pie would terrify me as a kid, but now, hey, those are pretty good.

Honestly with the cheeses you're better of not eating American anyway haha. The amount of sodium in a single slice of that stuff is ASTOUNDING. Swiss seems to be the best overall when it comes to sodium, potassium, etc. as I have recently discovered. Though I will say I am bemoaning the fact that I won't be able to have Havarti as much as I used to. So delicious but so unhealthy for me now.

Havarti is a Danish cheese that my mother and I used to love snacking on, but it's a bit pricey so it was always sort of a treat for us. Now it's even moreso haha.
