Oh my god, that was awful! (low-cal products you tried and hated)

Miracle Noodles are terrible! I freaking hate those things. They're slimy, but crunchy, but not quite crunchy enough to actually CHEW...just a freaking disaster.
I love those bean noodles, though. The black bean spaghetti is my favorite!0 -
Arctic zero - maple vanilla. Had the consistency of saliva. 135 cals per pint? I'd rather have a snickers and run for an hour.
Amy's frozen ravioli - the filling was extremely gritty.
Fat free sour cream - never again.0 -

Agreed, fat free sour cream is sadness. Now I just use a little of the real deal or a dollop of yogurt (these days soya)0 -
Fat-free hard cheese. I'd rather chew on old tires.
Almond milk, or any nut/seed milk for that matter. Stop calling it milk, it's not. It tastes like chalk water. The only way I can enjoy it is if I make it myself, heat half of it to increase the viscosity, then blend it with the other half and a bit of butter, at which point it stops being low cal.
Cellucor cookies and cream protein powder. I need to double the liquid, add xanthan, pb2 and vanilla to make it remotely palatable, bringing the calories up to more than my regular favorite brand which is considered higher calorie than average.
Low fat, sweetened or flavored greek yogurt. It's hard to re-train your palate when you grew up on full fat plain greek yogurt as a savory slightly salty slightly tart snack.
Low fat chips or pop chips. They taste like flavored cardboard. Chips aren't chips unless they're fried or baked with generous amounts of oil.
Air-popped popcorn. Not even salt sticks to them.0 -

I'm determined to finish it just because I payed almost $20 for the whole tub, but I take it just 16g at a time. My experience with this supplement taught me to read reviews before buying anything new.
TJs return policy is very liberal - I would try bringing it back for a refund.
Darn it. I wish I knew this before. I bought it back in September, so I don't even have the receipt anymore.0 -
I love the edamame and mung bean pasta. I have found that it needs a bit longer cooking time than it states on the label. I eat it all the time.
Walden Farms jars up Elmer's Glue as far as I'm concerned.
The old Quest Lemon Pie bar. I took one bite and threw it away. It tasted like Pledge.
Miracle Noodles. The smell. I could not get past the smell.0 -

Hebrew National 97% fat free hot dogs are the BOMB!!!!!!! Only 45 call each
Yes! Love these, wish they were cheaper though lol0 -
Any fat free dairy product. They always feel weird in my mouth. I also tried Kashi cookies once. They tasted like responsible, which is not what I want in a cookie.0

THAT ARCTIC ZERO ICECREAM!!!!! SO BAD!!!! Wasted $50

They go on sale every so often and are a good price, but not every store has them!!0 -
For me it is more of the "health food store" alternatives to things that are gross, gag me with a granola bar disgusting...from the vegan "cheese" and "ice cream" to ...well, almost everything else....ick ick ick!!!0

The only thing I actually threw in the garbage after trying it once was Walden Farms Peanut Spread. I've always been one of those people that is willing to sacrifice a little taste for less calories and fat, but that wasn't a sacrifice, that was suicide. Since I was diagnosed with celiac disease after major thyroid problems, I've had to do a lot of sacrificing, but that was one product that definitely wasn't worth it,0

Anything with stevia. It has a horrible chemical aftertaste which is strange since it is a plant. Give me real sugar any day (yes, I worship the sugar devil).
Any diet soda except Diet Dr. Pepper. That seems to be the only diet soda that tastes like the regular version. I'm getting to where I can tolerate Coke Zero but Diet Coke is horrid.
Low fat cheese sucks, too.0 -

I think she hasn't eaten real dessert in so long to the point that she doesn't know how the actual stuff compares. I could say the same thing about a lot of other healthy food bloggers, but I've tried so many recipes on her website that turned out awful and I've just given up on them.
Interesting. I made her lentil sloppy joe's and loved it because I love lentils, and was considering doing some other stuff. Thanks for letting me know, I will stay away from her desserts.0 -
