I think I am going to have to give up red meat. For some reason can no longer stand the smell of cooking beef. Most unpleasant.

I don't know if this is that sense of smell is better, or my mind is telling me that beef is bad for me. I know since I have been on HRT, I have been experiencing all kinds of little changes.

I know this may sound like a petty subject. But I used to love beef.

Any one else, experience similiar things.

Nothing with meat, but I did develop a problem with tea.

yea your sense of smell does get much better on HRT, and I'm trying to kick red meat as well. I thinking about going vegan for health reasons.

Try lamb.
Mmmmm...tasty fluffy wee beasts.

The only things that have changed significantly for me so far has been a reduced tolerance to alcohol,and my chocolate cravings have increased.Otherwise,everything else is pretty much the same as it was pre-hrt.

I stopped red meat when I was about 12. The smell and the sight of it is revolting. HRT has not made a difference to me in this regard.

I allow myself to indulge in red meat only once a month, so for the past 2 weeks I've been strongly craving a huge cheeseburger, rib eye, filet, carne asada, or whatever. Little lambs are also hella tasty. Yum. Oh great - now I'm getting hungry...

Maybe HRT has stimulated some maternal need to feed liberally and store fat.

The most serious help is needed for folks like you.

Red meat is the center of any sane person's world.

Having been vegan for three years and some (not sure about the specific dates) I'm not too worried if this make me a nutter. After all, I'm already a tranny with PTSD, GID, and aphabet soup to boot.

But fwiw - my sense of smell has become stronger - which sucks in one way, cos' it was already extreme to begin with - though it does have the plus that some guys now smell fantastic rather than merely interesting.
