What are the "good for you" foods that you detest?

Michellerw1

I detest celery. It is nasty!

LilMissAngi

I HATE veggies... I can only eat a few bites of green beans (which is odd, I used to gag) and corn, also few carrots and celery and that is about it!

But I HATE water!!! I have to make myself drink at least 8 glasses a day. There is no flavor to it! I have tried that flavor water and some other things like squeezing lemons in it, but still just not my thing.

I also hate tea and coffee.... ick!

I have switch to wheat bread, it is the only bread I will eat.

White bread and even white whole grain bread is enriched; even some wheat bread is enriched, just have to read the label!

sayuri1

any type of FISH
just the smell makes me gag! =(

I hate brocoli. I will eat it since I know it's so good for me but I usually hold my breath and chew.

Sometimes I wonder if I'm lucky or unlucky for being, essentially, a total omnivore. I'll eat pretty much anything.

But the canned beets served with hot lunches when I was in elementary school traumatized me for life and I wretch whenever I smell them (which, thankfully, is not often). I have since had a couple bites of cold, fresh beets on salads. They're okay and all, but I wouldn't eat a plate full of them.

:laugh: I LOVE this thread! I'm glad I'm not the only one!

It's funny, I spend so much time thinking about all the foods I love that I tend to ignore the foods I hate:

canned tuna
celery
cottage cheese (why does this food even exist!?)
plain yogurt (it's like cottage cheese that has been put in a blender)
wheat bread (anything brown or with little bits of seeds in it)
green bell peppers

How about some healthy foods that I love which other people hate?

Artichokes
Brussels Sprouts
Broccoli
Beets
Cauliflower
Mushrooms
Every kind of imaginable fish or shellfish mussels, oysters, clams, crab, lobster, octopus, eel, escargot, shark (Can you tell I grew up near the coast?)

Sprouts, cabbage, radishes, zucchini, squash... eggplant, YUCK.

I absolutely LOVE peppers and all veggies . . . when I was a kid I would ask for an apple, carrot, or pepper instead of a chocolate bar . . . YES . . . Im odd and I love it!

This reminds me of one time I was at the supermarket behind this lady with 2 kids and she said they could get a chocolate to snack on in the car and one asked could she go get an apple instead and the lady responded angrily with 'you can just go without then!'. I wanted to slap her!!

I really detest: avocados (they're waxy.. yuck!), beets, bleu cheese, and the consistency of jello. I'm eating jello though, but I don't like the texture

:noway: I'm not sure I would have been able to control myself!

Onions, mushrooms, and tuna. Tuna reminds me of cat food! Gross!

Brussels sprouts. Ew. Ew ew ew. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!

MzMolly

I agree! They are nasty. And bananas, GAG! I think they are Gods joke. He put them here to see who would eat such nasty stuff and laughs everytime someone does!

I have always been the opposite, I would MUCH rather have a nice home made piece of brown bread any day over white, it has much more flavor to it!

I dont' like 'light' or "no fat" dressings!! If I am going to have a salad it HAS to have regular salad dressing on it! I'd rather have a little bit of regular ranch then a lot of light ranch any day!!!

Also anything with aspartame or any other artificial sweetner in it, pudding, yogurt, fudgsicles, jello, juice, pop etc. is NASTY with that crap! I'd just rather not eat it at all!

I'm not proud of this, but for the most part, I hate fruits and vegetables. I love my baby organic spinach, and I eat it pretty much every day. About the only fruit I get is my glass of wine with dinner. I realize this doesn't count!

That said, I do care about what I put in my mouth. I have some dark chocolate and wine every day, but I've given up all the other junk I used to eat. No cookies, chips, cake, ice cream, etc. I eat whole grains and lean proteins, eggs (mostly whites), and organic milk, and I keep my fat calories between 20 and 25 percent pretty religiously. I take supplements too to try to cover my bases.

I'd never encourage people not to eat their fruits and veggies, but I really do despise them (I think I actually fear them, irrational as that may sound), and I try to make decent choices from the foods I do like.

aawh

Oatmeal! I have tried several times because I love the smell, love oatmeal cookies, granola, granola bars etc, but it just sends shivers down my spine and I gag.

Every kind of fish or seafood except for canned tuna
Asparagus
Brussel Sprouts
Cilantro

Cannot eat celery unless ALL of that stringy stuff is peeled off the outside!

The white membrane things in oranges also make me gag... but orange is my absolute favorite flavor of EVERYTHING!

kcdrake

I can't believe how many people dislike broccoli! It's like... my go-to veggie! When I was little the florets used to tickle my throat and make me gag, but I've gotten past that.

I'm don't like cooked fish, but I do like sushi.
Not a fan of cottage cheese, but it's more the texture than the flavor that bothers me. I also dislike plain yogurt, but like the different flavors (especially with fresh fruit mixed it!). I'm picky about beans... I've only recently started to like kidney beans and black beans.
I also don't like whole tomatoes, but if they're diced up I'm fine.

Hmmm... That's all I can think about right now. This is an interesting thread! haha

I can't believe no one has said turnips. They are most disgusting things out there. I won't even sit at a table with them on it.

and collard greens... yuck!!! Yeah, I'm from the south. I could name some other southern foods but I don't want all of y'all gagging. lol

That cracked me up! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Actually I love bananas. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

What I can't stand is mushrooms. YUCK!!! And I don't know if hominy is good for you or not. On second thought, anything that smells that nasty can't be good for you. I never could stomach that stuff ever since I was a kid up to and including the present day. NAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

ivykivy

I hate it too. Also slick slimy boiled okra I think it is disgusting.

:ohwell: I hate cottage cheese. Always seemed more like something that came out of a goose to me...

selbyhutch

I hate tomatoes... I really wish I like them. I also hate cauliflower... and even the thought of cauliflower "mashed" potatoes makes me gag.
