Lambs hearts are good too.
I saw a lovely chicken liver and mushroom recipe the other day.

I will never eat cauliflower, liver, olives or gizzards because they are NASTY
Also a few things I can't eat due to allergies. No other reason to swear off something for life, hopefully that's a long time to go

Anything cooked by my sister. Lord help me. How that woman grew up in a family of cooks and can't cook is beyond me. She can barely nuke with instructions. Bless her heart.0

Olives. Not for weight loss or anything, they're just disgusting.0
-
I know that's never necessaru for weight loss, health or fitness, but I just wondered.
Sworn off for life is pretty strong but I haven't had some things for years and would not want to.
Cheese Whiz, Velvetta, cheese product- because real cheese is better
turkey ham, ham product, SPAM
fruit flavored cereals or cereal with marshmallows
pineapple- discovered an allergy, not worth eating it
I gave up drinking most pop and coffee 15 years ago to reduce caffeine consumption.

I haven't sworn off any foods for life - other than things I don't like, but that is nothing to do with weight controll
I have switched entirely to drinking diet sodas rather than sugar ones - I like them just as much so easy calorie saving for me.
But not saying I will never have a sugar one ever again.0 -
Fat free dairy of any kind. GROSS.0
-
Olives. And white sauce. Also licorice. And I hate yogurt. Yuck.0
-
Nothing. There are things that I don't like, but taste buds are replaced and I might end up liking things. Two years ago I would have said mushrooms. I hated them. Now I quite like them. There are things that I would not try because of the culture I live in, like balut. I live in a western culture so things like sheep brain or balut will never be on my menu.0
-
Juice because really it's just sugar and meat. Probably should not eat dairy but I love cheese... Cheese just doesn't love me0
-
Tripe.
(For those not familiar with it, the lining of a cows stomach.)
I tried it twice, the second time because I was sure I was mistaken how awful it was the first time. I wasn't mistaken

None. The world is my oyster. Now, I just eat much less of it.0

I was camping in the UK with a friend a long time ago. We had purchased canned stews of some sort for dinner, but by the time we got around to making dinner it was pretty much dark.
Midway through the meal, my friend said, "Oh lovely, it's got tripe!" He was really pleased.
Now I wasn't quite sure what tripe was, but something in my head told me that it wasn't an "oh lovely" thing.
Meanwhile, I kept coming across these bit of what seemed like a wide rubber band, and I kept setting them aside, not eating them.
When I finished, he took my bowl to wash up, looked at it, and said, "You left all your tripe!?!"
My thought ... "Whew!"
I think I actually got one piece down, and it was that bad I couldn't bring myself to eat any more of it.

In Turkey they have kebab restaurants which open late (for the club goers) and the thing to eat there after a few beers is tripe (they call it stomach soup).
I suppose being drunk helps - I had some about 2 years ago and it seemed alright (although I was drink and my taste buds numbed).0 -
Dried fruit. I actually think I have a borderline phobia of it
0 -
Can't stand chocolate, coffee, marzipan, the white of an egg in any capacity, anything aniseed-y.
Have had to swear off pineapple and fermented carbohydrates (like lentils, chickpeas, bulgar wheat etc) as they make me hideously, hideously unwell (IBS related).
Sob.0 -
Fried foods, ice cream other than Arctic Zero, non-diet drinks, dairy milk, full-fat salad dressing/yogurt, cheese, cake, cheesecake, doughnuts, whole Oreos, packaged cookies in general, non-diet bread, pasta, full-sugar jams and jellies, peanut butter...
Anything that used to be binge food.0 -
There is a lot of great stuff people have sworn off!!
0 -
Red meat makes me bloated and miserable; I finally decided it wasn't worth it.0
-
Bread and pasta. Don't miss them either. I make my own low carb bread and I like shiritaki noodles.0
-
Potato chips and pasta0
-
Liver. Brussell sprouts.0
-
Fake stuff pretending to be real food, i.e. "Fat Free Cream," Miracle Whip, margarine, etc. The real foods are much more delicious and so much better for you.
Oh and anything that's been bastardized to be low in fat (esp. salad dressing). You can safely assume they've replaced all the yummy/satiating fat with sugar of some variety.0 -
Tripe - Have always hated it and when I was a very little kid I was forced to eat it the next day cold for breakfast (because I hadn't eaten it the night before) my Mother was sometimes the Devil reincarnated.....it's a wonder I can eat cauliflower because that was always on the plate with the Tripe in Parsley sauce.....all white and congealed. God it made me retch.....0
-
Not food, but I've sworn off diet soft drink completely.0

We carnivores need more of you in this world. No, seriously. Supply push economics would make the equilibrium price of beef go down! :-)
Also, since cows and pigs live a long time (and therefore a longer reproduction period), the world protein supply would increase, so long as the soils hold up...
That topic is of interest to me, as I am taking a geology class exploring the critical zone.0
