You know, the ones that there are tons of people extolling like a miracle from god, but that just taste yucky to you. For me, it's cottage cheese (I can't get over the consistency), and raw carrots or broccoli, I just don't like 'em.

    I'm the same way with cottage cheese! I've tried and it's just not for me.

    I also can't eat plain egg whites or hardboiled eggs. I only started eating eggs my freshman year of undergrad, so I'm still pretty picky about them, even though I'll eat all kinds of other weird food. :embarassed:

    Melt a tiny bit of real butter in a small non-stick pan and fry the egg whites in the butter (I eat 3 every morning). Once you turn the eggs, lightly salt and pepper (I lay on the pepper). You might find egg whites more enjoyable this way and the butter calories are negligible if you only use a smidge!

    most yogurt...especially yoplait! ICK. Give me kefir anyday! I also hate egg whites by themselves so I eat the whole egg. Raw broccoli disgusts me, but I can eat piles of steamed broccoli with some marinara. YUM

    Using plain greek yogurt for a substitute for mayo or sour cream. I can't eat it unless it's sweetened. ick.

    I've never tried cottage cheese but the look alone is enough to turn me off.

    Tofu can be delicious depending on how it is prepared. I've recently started eating egg whites...I make an omelette and add toppings like cheese, spinach or stir fry peppers.....yum!

    Greek yogurt definitely is an acquired taste....I didn't like it at first but I can tolerate it now.

    I'm a cottage cheese, hardboiled egg, vegetable lover, but an oatmeal hater. I've given it a try more than once, but end up throwing it out before the bowl is even half done. ICK!

    I love all veggies except raw lettuce I hate lettuce which makes having a salad really hard to do lol, is a bowl of raw veggies still considered a salad minus the lettuce?

    I tried kefir for the first time this weekend....I didn't hate it but I certainly didn't love it either....it was very thick and left a weird aftertaste in my mouth. I had to drink a glass of water to get rid of the aftertaste.

    My DH is not big on lettuce either - he does love a salad made with fresh spinach leaves instead of lettuce though =0)

    Really? Hmm..different strokes and all I guess. I feel like its thinner, tastier yogurt I can drink. (I hate eating substances like yogurt, jello, applesacue with a spoon because I have to eat it super slow or I gag.) You could try a flavored one, but those tend to have some sugar.
