It seems that obesity can have an adverse effect on our taste buds.
Studies have shown that obese rats don’t taste sweet things as much and so eat more. The research is not quite sure what the link is but the brains of obese rats were found to have a 50% decline of neurons firing in their tongues when they were exposed to sucrose.
A diet too rich in sugar and grains releases leptin which in time makes your body resistant to leptin. Remember that leptin is what tells your body that you are full. Your body will no longer hear the message and you will in turn continue to eat until you do hear it.
Considering the above, one would conclude that taste buds really are not what you need to worry about. You should be worried about the amount of leptin that is released instead. Leptin resistance eventually leads to insulin resistance which in one word can be described as diabetes.
So modifying your diet to exclude sugar and grains as much as possible is only a sensible course to follow.
One can also look at certain nutritional programs that will help train the body to resist cravings.
