    Nope.. I'm down 70 lbs so far (LOTS more to go), but I still like every thing that I liked before. I just eat less of it, and don't have the urge to overeat as much as I did before.

    This is usually an issue for people who have difficulty looking at their diet as a whole and conceptually can't understand how they could be healthy and rock their nutrition and what not while still enjoying a slice of pizza or a candy or ice cream or whatever. It kinda comes with the whole "good" food/"bad" food labeling thing.

    Why would labeling food make it suddenly not taste good? That would certainly making losing weight a lot easier if it were true though.

    Every time I go more than a month without any junk food at all, it tastes funny when I first bite into it again. Why I don't stop right there, spit it out, and walk away is beyond me. Maybe the brain buzz?

    LOL, no...I like all the foodz.

    I dunno. I posted earlier, and named things that don't taste good to me now, but I liked in the past. However there is also a huge list of "bad for you" and "evil" foods that I still totally love, and fit into my weeks or months just fine. Some of them I even like more than I did before...Burger King original chicken sandwiches, Steak & Shake burgers, Wendy's chicken nuggets, and DQ Blizzards (mini size now, but I eat them about once a month and think they're awesome).

    One of the biggest thing for me has been slurpees ... loved them had at least one a day for many years - husband bought me a little one about a month ago - can we say SUGAR!!! super sweet, sickly sweet actually and it was just blah - my stomach responded instantly --- my husband was rather happy to finish it off for me though :)

    and another one, not so much because I don't like the way it tastes is chinese food and ichiban noodles - still love it, still love the taste, but my body cannot handle it and i break out into hives instantly - mid meal even, I am thinking it has to do with a reaction to the MSG ... but at this time I am just guessing

    Yes, my kid claims this is because the food quality has suffered since the past. He claims he learned about this in college.

    Twinkies. I had a Twinkie a few years ago and it was awful, but they were such a treat when I was a kid.

    Pop. I'll still have it once in a while but I don't like it the way I did 20 years ago.

    Nothing recent though. Everything I liked five years ago I still like.

    I used to love bk, now I can't even finish a sandwich. I feel like vomiting halfway through. Still like their fries and onion rings though!

    Pasta, French fries, breaded foods, potato chips, Cheetos, nachos, anything fried in oil.
    And rich things, especially hollandaise sauce, Eggs Benedict.
    I eat pasta still maybe twice a month but very little.
    I still like all of the above but makes me feel terrible when I eat them.

    Reese's peanut butter cups. :frown:

    The only candy I ever loved. I made myself read the nutritional info and decided to give them up forever. Then on Mother's Day I actually got SIX bags of PB cups from family members. I was like to freak out on the spot!!! I tossed a bag at each of my four kids, my nephew and the last bag to my Mom. Then said thank you to everyone for the thoughts and please don't ever do that again!!!!!

    BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!

    pizza and big macs.....I used to love them. but the thought of actually eating it now makes me want to gag. even tonight I sent my hubby out for pizza but got him to pick me up subway (I love veggie subs) and there is almost a full x-large pizza about 10 feet from me and I have zero desire to eat it.

    I also love deep fried perogies but I tried to eat some last week and I was so sick afterwards. now that there is no grease in my diet it makes me want to gag at the thought of it

    Real talk: If I ever develop a distaste for pizza I am throwing myself in front of a moving bus.

    For the record, not being able to handle certain foods is not remotely close to not liking them. And people claiming to no longer like cheeseburgers and pizza are frontin'.

    I don't have any foods that I don't like anymore, but there are certain foods that my body rejects - primarily very rich sweets. The most painful examples, literally and figuratively, are carrot cake and banana puddin'. Carrot cake i absolutely cannot handle - just wears me and my innards out. As for Nanner puddin', well, i suck it up once or twice a year when my cousin makes a batch and just deal with the ramifications.

    Hot cheetos! I used to eat a family size bag every day. I cant even eat one anymore without getting a terrible heartburn.

    I used to ADORE Twinkies. I know. Ugh. I would eat them ALL the time and all the other snack cakes. They were basically crack for me.

    Now if I even see one, it makes me sick. I just remember "Why did I ever EAT THAT?"
    Because ALL, and I mean ALL, was total crap and made me feel like crap after I ate it.
    Since sticking to a healthy and whole food diet, I can't bring myself to eat all those sugar-and-fat--inducing-coma type of foods.

    Oh, I definitely still enjoy life too. If you look in my diary there's all kinds of treats and "junk" still slotted in there. It's just there are certain foods that I have developed a distaste for since not keeping them a predominant part of my diet. The pizza I drunkenly ate last night, for example, was pretty greasy. I haven't eaten any really greasy foods in a while now, and so I was just repulsed by the sudden grease. I wasn't trying not to like it because I thought it was "bad" or that I "shouldn't have it". I was very excited about having the pizza, and really, really wanted it. It's just that once I finally ate it, it didn't taste as wonderful or satisfying to me as it once did.

    Great thread!

    You guys got me wondering if I somehow dislike Reese's. Unthinkable! and I haven't had one in years. I love them! Do I hate them?

    The food that gets my gorge rising now since my dieting, is cereal in milk. All those grains swimming around, glop glop glop - ick.

    High-fat food, and milk in coffee doesn't do it though. Must be grain-fear.

    Pizza is ALWAYS on the menu forever and ever - bread or no bread.

    Ketchup.

    Hard Candy

    instant oatmeal (oatmeal is already "instant", Add water and toss in microwave. Much better)

    This happened to me the other day. I was at a family gathering and I forgot my water. So I decided I would have 1 Dr. Pepper since it had been almost 6 months since I had one. It was really kind of gross. It wasn't tasty like I remembered.

    Pizza, Cheeseburgers and Reese's....mmmmmmm. I had some pizza a couple days ago and I thought I did good. 1800 calories later I realized I did not do so good.

    I used to love steak. Now I can barely eat a bite of it. I dunno, taste buds changed. I eat all the pasta though.

    Chips like Lays Salt & Vinegar and Cheetos for me - I used to love those but this past year I've never had a craving, and when I do decide to grab a bag I always regret it because they no longer taste good to me. They also just make me feel sluggish and bleh.

    Good one. Also instant rice vs. regular rice. Rice is already instant enough and tastes much better than 'instant.'

    I recently felt my stomach turn when I had sour cream recently. I loved sour cream but haven't had it in a long while since I eat a lot of greek yogurt and that makes a decent substitute. Had the real full fat sour cream and I felt sick for about an hour.

    Same, I haven't deprived myself of anything. Though, I could still do with cutting back and learning more self control. I still slip up from time to time, but I don't believe in throwing out "bad" food, I think it's better to learn to control myself and portion things out+work them in than stopping cold turkey and having cravings (which usually leads to a binge).

    I just eat a couple slices of my favorite pizzeria's pizza instead of the whole pie in one sitting; Then I'm eating less calories and having cold pizza left over for the next day. (<3 cold pizza)

    I feel like some people are mistaking my meaning of this thread. I still frequently indulge in things that I like. I don't believe in completely cutting "bad" food out of my diet, either. So, it's not about wanting to eat "bad" foods but demonizing them instead. Rather, it's about wanting to eat "bad" foods that used to taste really good, only to find that they (disappointingly) don't taste good anymore.

    Five Guys and Taco Bell. Actually, all fast food just about. Makes me feel like trash. Also, Chips Ahoy. Those things are garbage. If I'm going to have a cookie, it better be homemade.

    Ham sandwiches - YUCK. I used to have on every day at school and then one day I just decided I hate it. And I still do.

    I won't turn down candy bars, but once you've had nice, quality dark chocolate reeses cups taste like chalk and m&ms taste like plastic.

    Also:

    EUGH


    All things I used to eat DAILY as a kid. I remember I had a cosmic brownie like 3 years ago, I was SO siked. I couldn't even finish it. Grossss

    Yes, but what's interesting to me is that my RELATIONSHIP with that food has changed. Not only does it not taste as good, I don't get the same wonderful feeling I used to get while eating it. I don't think of it as depriving myself, for me it's a matter of putting food into perspective and also, eating things REALLY worth my calories. Things that really tickle my taste buds like my old favorite pizza and a box of Pop Tarts no longer do!
