This invention uses dysgeusia-inducing neurostimulation to selectively modify a persons consumption of a selected type of nutrient or food. This invention includes a nutrient-specific consumption sensor that detects when a person consumes a particular type of nutrient or food and a Dysgeusia-Inducing Neurostimulation Device (DIND) that temporarily modifies a persons sense of taste when the person consumes that nutrient or food. This invention can make unhealthy food taste less appealing and make healthy food taste more appealing. Such selective taste modification can improve a persons nutritional quality and help them to manage their weight.
