Yes, I did try to avoid procesed foods. But I did have the odd bit of bacon... And I was also a student at the time, so the odd kebab and the like did get eaten,
For the first week or two, it really had an effect on the enjoyment of my food; it all felt pretty tasteless, but late on in the third week, flavour started to come back, and by the end of Lent, I found that going back to the amount of salt I had previously used made the food inedible!
All in all, it was an interesting, though provoking, and healthy, biot of discipline in my otherwise chaotic life.
