Health foods you try to tell yourself are yummy? But aren't.

Ok, a weird one, bananas - well they are yummy, but..... It's not that I don't like them in things - smoothies, banana loaf, on toast with cinnamon sugar etc, but eating it raw, for some reason makes me nauseous - think it's the texture? I've tried several times, yesterday I decided was my last. Will just have to accept I can't have them straight, will have to smoothie them up instead!0

Cauliflower- Yuck!!
No matter how much I tell myself it's good or good for you I just can't stomach it!0 -
Brown rice. I've tried different brands and different flavors, but I just can't get past that first bite. The texture is just off.0
-
Olives, and, therefore, muffalettas. Blech!0

Honestly, I don't eat foods that I don't like. Check my profile and find my motto, "Being honest with myself." I would be "cheating" or derail my journey if I start lying to myself again.
On the other hand, I have "rediscovered" a number of healthy foods that I hadn't eaten in years, like spinach and yogurt smoothies.0 -

I can eat it if it's mixed in with broccoli, but not by itself. lol0 -

My whole family hates brown rice. And it's the same calories as white rice, just a little bit less protein and fiber, so I stick with white rice.0 -
Greek Yogurt and Cottage Cheese. yum -_-0
-
Avocado...
Oh sweet mother of God.
Well, I appreciate you posting this because neither of my kids will eat avocado and I'm like, what? Who doesn't like avocado? They're so creamy and delicious! EVERYBODY loves them! So at least now I know they're not alone. (And I have also learned that they will eat avocado cucumber soup, if I don't tell them what it is, so if anyone ever holds a gun to your head and demands that you eat one, you might like to try that way.)0 -
Huh. I really enjoy Greek yogurt, raw fruits, and I really haven't needed to eat pasta in a really long time so I'm not sure on that one. I drink almond milk and eat greek yogurt several times a day - probably to the point of unhealthy, but I love the taste so much!
For me, it's most meats. I just never want meat, so I rarely eat it. This leads to lack of protein, which hurts my running a lot. I can sometimes do grilled chicken. Otherwise, I got nothing.0 -
Quinoa, taste like dirt
Make it with chicken broth.
I like most foods. That's why I have to log my food.0 -
For me is FISH, I just don't like seafood but I know fish is really healthy compared to Hamburgers and Steaks mmmm..*drooling*; so I try to eat it at least once every two weeks and only because Chicken and Pork Chops gets boring....The only reason I dont eat red meat is because I have to have fries with hamburgers and mashed potatoes with steak lol. Veggies just taste way better to me with white meat.0

Maybe I'm strange, but if I think it tastes gross I don't eat it. I'm near 100% Paleo and like plenty of vegetables so this simply isn't a problem for me.
#1 example: Beets. I know they are healthy and good for you, but I think they taste like dirt. I've tried them every way possible, just isn't happening for me.0 -

Same for me too on the Beets, will never again eat those!!0 -

Do you have a recipe for the soup, sounds yummy
and is it high in Calories? 0 -

Im the same way, I love Banana flavoring but a banana itself is disgusting, and I believe your right the texture is way off0 -
this....I don't eat anything I don't like. It's not worth the bother. If you limit yourself to tying to eat what you call "health foods" you tend to not eat at all, which is just as bad as eating crap. I just make better choices with the foods I do eat, and eat less frequently things I know aren't as good for me. If i crave something, I eat the real thing and move on. It's worse if you can't kill the caving with a substitute, because you keep trying, and therefore eat more crap while trying to fill the void.0 -
Virtually any "fat free" foods that are supposed to be filled with fat. Fat free sour cream? No way, it's better to find a healthy substitute that you enjoy.
I don't like sour cream so that's not an issue, but I see people drinking fat free half and half.... Wait, what? That doesn't even make sense to me0 -
Yeah, I never acquired a taste for that… I tried, but is just to strong… There are so many great alternatives, I don't know that I would go there again...Anything with Kale Juice in it.0 -
I agree. I don't "diet" any longer. Period. I play with food, and try to find what I like. Food is a passion with me. I went to culinary school, and I simply love flavors. I will only use lard, butter or extra virgin olive oil for cooking. (Peanut oil for deep fat frying… which I never do any more anyway.) I love fruit, and there isn't any meat/poultry I dislike. There are certain fish I will not eat. My palate likes quality, healthy or no. So, I will stick with mostly healthy food, and there is an abundance of delicious healthy food, BTW. My main desire with food is to eat micro-nutrient rich food. My breakfast and post w/o shake have pretty much all the micro-nutrients I need, so my lunch and dinner can be more flexible as long as I get the macro-nutrients I need.

Salad! I don't even try to eat salad anymore. I always end up picking out all the nice bits and then being left with a big bowl of lettuce. Yuk.0

Another is anything that has peanut butter and chocolate comined into a diet substance. It's not even CLOSE. Fiber One has 90 calorie pb brownies, but I would much prefer a peanut butter twix!
Experiencing this now with Atkins Advantage..and have tried the Fiber One brownies.... Just does not work! For some reason I have the faint sensation i'm eating some sort of pesticide...
on the other hand...i have developed a thing for broccoli... ESPECIALLY roasted broccoli...it's tasty0 -
LOL!
I'm can't get into fish either. I can stomach tuna @ lunch but really have to be in the mood0 -
Quinoa and couscous.
Blegh..0 -
I don't eat things I do not like - I just portion control the stuff that actually is yummy.0
-
i make this super delicious chicken and vegetable soup in my crockpot...well i decided to go without chicken...and guess what? It taste HORRIBLE and now i am stuck and i have to eat it! arghhh and i have a whole weeks worth of soup at home!

I have TONS of health foods that I think are disgusting... mainly dairy. Fat free milk... any milk is blech. Cottage cheese is nasty. Yoghurt makes me cringe. Eggs are vomit inducing.
LOL! I can't stand those things... Sad to say. But there is a TON of things I do like so I don't feel like I'm missing out.0 -
turkey burger vs hamburger...
just not the same. Not gross by any means, but not what I'm craving when I think BURGER0 -
If it ain't yummy, I don't eat it.0
-
I'm getting tired of salad.. but otherwise, I don't eat things I don't like. I don't buy the "diet" foods anymore either, buy real food and eat less of it = win. 0
