    Milk. I hated drinking milk before. I'm lactos intolerant and I think I just hated feeling sick and it translated into me not being able to stand the smell or taste of it.

    Then I was told to try organic milk for a while and see if it didn't clear up my lactos problems. After about a week of choking down skim organic milk every day, something totally changed. I stopped feeling sick after each glass. Now I drink organic milk every day and I can even tolerate non-organic cheese without getting sick.

    I still hate oatmeal and chicken and I don't suspect those will ever go away. I can sometimes eat chicken if it is shredded fine enough and mixed with other things, but that's a lot of work when I could just as happily eat turkey or fish.

    this might sound weird, but fruit. all kinds. in addition to a minor citrus allergy, i was just not interested in fruit. the allergy dissapated over time and still i never felt inclined to even pick up an apple. now i run to the store whenever i get a paycheck to stock up on more fruit! total turn around. in retrospect it seems so silly because its like natural candy.

    People who say you hate brussels sprouts: try cooking them by sautéeing in butter and adding garlic, rather than steaming or boiling...makes ALL the difference!

    Also - I recently discovered that buying them fresh is key. Stop trying to like the frozen ones.

    Greek Yogurt. When I first started eating it I literally had to choke it down...now its a treat to me. LOVE

    Absolutely! I was terrified of Greek yogurt. My mom had been trying to get me to eat it for years but the dairy combined with the lumpy texture was such a turn off. I tried my first Chobani yogurt a few months ago and now I'm in love! What was I thinking holding out so long?!

    Two things: Basil and Vinaigrette salad dressings.

    I used to work in a French restaurant that served a basil pasta dish, and I wouldn't even go near the kitchen when it was cooking because I swore it smelled like cat pee, and the taste was horribly bitter to me. But now one of my favorite meals is Caprese salad (tomatoes and mozzarella with fresh basil). And as for dressing, it was ranch or nothing, and now I can't stand the stuff. I make my own vinaigrettes and love them!

    Spinach and mushrooms. I now LOVE them in combination. I saute them in with grilled chicken, then top the chicken with the mixture, and if I have room for calories, I will throw a bit of feta on there, too. Mixed in a few raw white onions after cooking once, also delightful.

    My husband is thrilled because now when we order pizza, he can have one with mushrooms on it.

    Nothing, if I hated it before I didn't even bother to try it again.

    Dates. I still dislike them as-is, but they do wonders in the raw food bars I adore.

    I also I NEVER imagined I'd grow to LOVE raw coconut butter--I use it to help boost my fats/protein and as a substitute for peanut butter & butter. At first it was disgusting, now I LOVE it.

    Also, I never liked milk (except when I was younger, many moons ago--when milk (like most foods/meats today) tasted completely different and reacted differently in my skin/'body. I now LOVE sunflower milk, almond milk, especially hemp milk and my new love Flax milk. I used to think those substitutes were disgusting--they are now staples I LOVE!

    Green Juices filled with all kinds of veggies that I used to HATE and NEVER thought I'd eat and especially drink...ingredients like beets, dandelion greens, kale...LOVE it now:love: , especially with lots of fresh lemon juice, makes it taste like a super weird veggie lemonade or something:laugh:
