Does high calorie food you used to eat disgust you?

It doesn't disgust me, but it gives me the trots. If it's my splurge day, I'm eating it anyway. Worth it.

nothing disgust me, but is more the fact that now I find things are too sweet or too salty.

The food itself doesn't but the volume I ate does disgust me.
And some of my tastes have changed - cookies I used to love now taste too processed.

I can't really think of any foods that ousted to eat that now disgust me other than fast food. When I was a kid, I used to salivate over Mcdonalds, KFC, Dominos, the local chinese buffet, ice cream stands, that kind of stuff. Now I have no desire to even touch any of them. Mcdonalds gives me horrible migraines whenever I eat it, and I can't have regular ice cream due to lactose intolerance, even though I would like to on occasion.

Mostly, it's just the portions that I used to eat that disgust me. For instance, I used to eat SO MUCH chicken. 10 chicken nuggets for dinner one night. 2 grilled breasts the next night. A quarter of a roasted chicken the night after that. Nowadays, I might eat chicken once a month. After learning how most industrially-farmed chickens were raised, it ruined my appetite for it, and now I only eat local, humanely-raised chicken. The cost of that limits my consumption.

I used to go through a king-sized jar of Jiff Reduced-Fat peanut butter every two weeks. Not the little jar -- the big huge one.

I also used to eat a king-sized carton of goldfish crackers every two weeks. Along with a box of club crackers.

And chocolate and chips would never last in my house any more than a day or two. My parents ate them too, but I had more than my fair share.

...I remember that I lost 30 pounds just by reducing my portions. They were still oversized, sure, but they weren't binge-status anymore.

I wouldn't say it disgusts me, but I haven't felt like eating a chocolate bar at all in quite a while now. Whenever I find myself a tad peckish with a couple of hundred calories to spare, I think about having a chocolate bar, but then decide I can spent those calories on two pieces of fruit instead.

I like food

It does not disgust me.

That is like saying one stops enjoying sex because they got divorced

Illogical

I don't feel disgust toward any high calorie food I used to eat.
I have deliberately been eating the same foods pretty much but getting appropriate portion sizes. I guess it has been effective as I've lost 25 lbs.

Not weight loss related but after not eating at certain restaurants for a long time their food doesn't taste as good as it used to. Not sure if they changed something or the change is with me.

I agree. I still have fast food every so often, but I've recently realized I don't need the huge portion sizes of the combo meals. I'm not saying it's the healthiest choice ever, but I can now feel a value sized cheeseburger and fries are adequate.

I was actually thinking I would love to hit up KFC for lunch, go figure, but it doesn't seem as appealing today as it did yesterday.

For those that are disgusted, what sort of things are you disgusted about, give everyone an insight?

I can honestly say I have never been disgusted by what ive eaten, even if it was just chcolate and chips all day or fast food. I would laugh at how unbalanced it was, but this idea of disgust doesnt compute unless it was some vile combination of food or youd resorted to licking out bins?

This idea of demonising food, guilt and generally beating yourself up is all a bit counter productive. Lots of those calorie dense, nutritionallt low foods still taste as good as they ever did.

I guess I don't understand your first sentence. That's pretty much what the OP asked and many have been answering?

I don't find any food disgusting but I do find my tastes changing over time.
Mainly that I find some foods just far too sweet for me now.

I think regular coke is a waste of calories these days....but I am not grossed out by regular coke, Im just like, "I coulda had wine instead. d'oh"
