Fruit never tasted so sweet

The PMS has begun, with cravings for something sweet and increased hunger, which start for me a few days before my period is due, and I'm being put to my first test. Tonight I surprised myself when I decided not to go down to the store to buy the ultra thin crust pizza I originally intended to buy for dinner and opted to stay home and eat something within my diet guidelines instead. After dinner, I was craving something sweet, so I had a tangerine, then a bit later, a few chunks of pineapple. The fruit tasted so sweet to me, whereas in times past, it was usually mediocre at best. I'm convinced it's because I rarely eat sugar or high-fructose corn syrup now, so fruit tastes sweeter than normal. Then I wanted something salty and still felt like I needed a little more food, so I opted for some mixed nuts. I fear I may have eaten too many, though. It was hard to stop, not sure why, as mixed nuts are not usually a food I have trouble putting down.
