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

Most of them...LOL...

OK, not really. Most healthy foods (except seafood) I like, but not as much as unhealthy food. I'm doing "OK" but could do better.

Standalone raw veggies and unseasoned cooked veggies (that aren't "in" something) are a challenge. I love peas, but they're about the only one I can do cooked with no butter or salt - most others I need SOMETHING to add flavor. OTOH, ...raw veggies almost seem like more effort to eat than they're worth. (that sounds horrible doesn't it?) Green beans, broccoli, carrots I like if there's a little salt or butter on them or as part of a larger dish. I like cooked tomatoes, but can only eat them raw if they're diced and in a salsa or something like that. Celery I can tolerate, but it takes a lot of chewing for so little satisfaction...It's not that I *dislike* them, its just that they seem like "nothing" as far as satisfying a hunger or craving. Spinach I can tolerate in wedding soup, spinach dip, (and on Freschetta thin crust spinach and garlic pizza...but that's pizza!)

Except peas - I could eat pounds of peas if I had them.

Salads are OK if I have dressing - I've found those "spritzer" bottles do the trick - good coverage without using a lot, and it tastes good. I can't feel full on just a salad though no matter how much I eat.

Although I will occasionally eat some fish, I generally detest seafood.

Bell peppers & reduced fat cottage cheese

I've found most reduced-fat foods are OK, but cottage cheese just seems watery. Even the 2%. The fat-free cottage cheese is nasty. However, there is only a 30 calorie difference between 2% and "whole" cottage cheese so go for the good stuff.

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

I definitely agree with you on the consistency of Jell-o. Most of the time I can't even eat it because it makes me gag! Probably cuz that was the only thing I could eat when I had my gallbladder out.
