Most disgusting thing you've ever tried in your weight loss/gain journey

I kept seeing people talk about adding protein powder to greek yogurt, so I tried it. It was wretched. Tried it another time, thinking perhaps I had screwed something up the first time. Still wretched.

The protein pancake recipe that people used to rave about on here. It wasn't bad, but I felt like I had to add a lot of butter and syrup to make it palatable, and the calorie count was just off the charts for breakfast. Tried a cake as well, it wasn't bad the first day but by the second, it tasted rancid. Done trying to make protein powder into anything other than a drink.

It might be your powder too, to be honest. I've tried some powders that were just plain nasty... although yeah, people rave about the Greek yogurt/powder thing tasting like 'pudding' and I'm starting to think that we all have a very different opinion about what pudding is like... although it doesn't turn out too bad with Quest powder.

The protein pancake recipe that I like here (the 'ultimate' one) is a bit mixed for me because it's just way too dry. It's very tasty if you add strawberries or blueberries, but I've tried other fruit and it was just bleh. To be fair though, I haven't gone back since I discovered Kodiak mixes.

I mostly use my powder in oatmeal now or in cheesecake. The protein cheesecake I make is seriously delicious (but I don't use fat free cream cheese either).

Long story short, I was in a hurry to drive onto my appointment. I have no time to eat spinach, broccoli, and chicken tenders. What I did is I used my ninja blender and made a veggie meat smoothie. I chugged it while tears came out of my eyes haha.

Crying. Laughing.

Basically anything I've made with quinoa. I keep trying because I know it's great for you, but yeah...

I tried to make crackers, even the dog wouldn't eat them.

I made this mexican food bake that was so bad, we took one bite and went for a burger.

Arctic Zero Double Chocolate!

I tried the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough flavor. The cookie dough tasted fine but the ice part had a vaguely slimy texture.

I love most sushi but cannot stand sea urchin! I've tried it a couple of times (the second time hoping that it was fresher) and both times it tasted to me like I'd imagine excrement would taste. But it's considered such a delicacy. Maybe the stuff I had was not fresh?

I like my mug cakes. Just think of them as a cross between cake and an omlet. Trick for me is to microwave them on a lower setting. I use 1/4 cup cake mix, an egg, almond milk to moisten. The first step is to put a 1/2 table spoon of oil ( or buyer)in the mug and coat it well. Olive oil is to strong of a flavor to use fore though.

Worst diet kick, Cotten balls torn up and dipped in orange juice. Yes I was dumb enough to try this.

Always hated Mayo. Can tolerate small amount of vegan 'mayo' but only scraped thinly on a bun....
Stevia......disgusting in any form! Anything sweetened with artificial sweeteners - just can't do it, horrible taste/aftertaste. Commercial icing/frosting on cakes, cupcakes....and the stuff they sell in tubs...yuck

~OT~

When I was a (very obese) child, the buttercream frosting was my favorite part of the cake, store bought or homemade. Now I end up scraping it off. I had no idea what I saw in it as a kid. It is disgusting on store bought cakes and often too rich on homemade ones. I don't even like cake that much in general anymore. Never thought I would live to see that day. "Whipped cream" topping on commerical cakes was always nasty. I also don't like fondant. I think it absolutely ruined my brother and SIL's wedding cake. It was DISGUSTING.

OT too but in France we NEVER had buttercream on cakes. Some specialty cakes use some kind of cream, but it's lighter and not as sweet, and it's only inside. I had a lot of chocolate cakes when I grew up but it was a plain, tasty cake, that really didn't need frosting at all... So it was so odd to me when I came here to see all those weird colored cakes with so much frosting on them. I'm not that fond of it either. Every year for their birthday, my kids and my husband ask for some kind of frosted cake, and I roll my eyes a little.

cottage cheese. I've tried to like it, but the texture... saltiness... smh... I just can't...

I do like pork rinds (chicharrón), though, especially the spicy kind.
