Before MFP, there were a few things I wouldn't eat, just because I HATED them:
-Carrots... which some friends said I might have even been allergic to because the flavor would immediately trigger a gag reflex.

AND

-Brown rice... I'm part Filipino and we are all about the steamed white rice. Anything else just didn't taste like rice.

Now...
-Carrots: are do-able most times. I still can't take them raw, but if they are cooked and I have some salty taste to balance it, I can do it.

AND

-Brown rice... is quickly becoming one of my favorite foods. I still love that sticky steamed white rice, and nothing will compare to it, but brown rice is SO GOOD!


My question: have you experienced something like this? Is there a food you have learned to love after eating healthier? Even, are there any junk foods you just can't stand now that you're on a healthier path? I'm curious!

    Was not a fan of asparagas and now I could eat it for every meal! (I don't, but I could...) :wink:

    There aren't any junk foods I CAN'T STAND but I have found I can avoid them now. Like, I got through Halloween without eating a single piece of candy!

    I was like that with celery. I would never eat it because I hated the taste, smell, and texture. Now they are a great snack at work.

    Well done!

    I yummed my yuck in high school. Had to have a cast on it for 3 weeks. Got out of PE class. It was sweet.

I used to be a NON-MEAT eater -- except for ground beef,and chicken if it was breaded now I eat chicken in any form, most porks (not bacon or pork chops) and I'll eat fish (flounder and sushi)...
