Foods You've Lost Your Taste For

There are several foods I've completely lost my taste for since I started counting calories. Some of these are partially due to their high calorie load/low nutrition, others I simply don't enjoy anymore due to taste.
What are some of yours?
- Donuts
- Most milk chocolate (I still love really good chocolate)
- Lunch meat
- Boxed macaroni and cheese
- Cake/muffins
What are some of yours?

I haven't lost taste for anything. I feel like when I do eat these things that I appreciate them more. Though I do not have any cravings anymore.5
-
Store-bought sweets in general just don't hold the same appeal for me as they used to. I'd rather use my calories on something I want instead of a piece of sub-par cake from the grocery store.7

Mac and cheese, biscuits, fried foods, French fries3
-
I still like the same foods I've always liked, but now I like so many more, so many of my old favorites are eaten very infrequently. I have the same experience as PP, I like it better when I eat it more rarely and in smaller amounts (I never imagined I'd ever say something like this ).1

Ground chuck....but donuts?? Never!0

I haven't really lost my taste for anything, but when I have been eating healthy for a while, I take more notice the effect that some unhelathy things have on my body. Dairy fats are a big one for me - I still love the taste of a milkshake, but if I have more than half of a small one I will regret it very much an hour later!2

Sweetened coffee drinks. BLECH!!6
-
I second the sweetened coffee drinks mentioned above. Also any type of sweetener in tea/coffee, artificial or otherwise...and any creamer other than milk (dairy or almond milk are fine to me). I used to love all of the flavored creamers but now I hate the taste of them.
I still like most sweets, but also like someone mentioned above, I've lost a taste for most of the prepackaged stuff and would rather have "better" baked goods, my own or from a nicer bakery, when I do have them. No more Hostess or Little Debbie...tastes waxy and weird to me now.
I would mention chips - almost never eat them now - but I was never a big chip fan anyway.4 -
I just tried to eat a reese’s Easter egg and it was terrible, way too sweet and just wrong, reese’s were my favourite so it’s a little sad I won’t be able to enjoy them occasionally now.1
-
Pasta. I still like it, but it's not as magical anymore. I used to have to carefully plan how much pasta I made, because I would eat as much as I made. It was so addictive. Now it's still pretty good but I can have just a little bit and stop. I also drink a lot less wine than I used to (used to be a glass a day, now it's more like a glass a week). I still kinda miss it some days. But I know I'm better off without it.
I stopped liking most fast food junk and prepackaged cakes/cookies/candies when I hit my 20s, so there's not much of a baseline to work off of in terms of favorite junk foods. It's not that I ate a particularly unhealthy junk-filled diet before I started this (I wasn't *that* big to start with), it's just that I ate too much of it.3 -
Pop. That's about it. Been over a year since having any.
Still like donuts, mac'n'cheese, lunchmeat, cake, chocolate.1 -
I've lost the taste for some things like pepsi/coke (still love Dr Pepper though) and ike others have mentioned I don't have a taste for boxed stuff and especially crappy baked goods, if I'm gonna splurge I'd rather have something high quality and really delicious.
For other things like pizza, which I will never stop loving, I find that having it only on a rare occasion makes it taste even better.1 -
Fried foods I can't really do anymore. Most I just don't really care for the taste of now, but some I do still love make me feel awful for a day or so after eating them. Baked goods as well, I would rather spend my calories on foods and baked goods that I've made myself over store bought.3

I agree with you on the sweets. Anything packed with sugar - whether it's candy bars, cookies, cake, donuts, ice cream, or sugary drinks - makes me feel sick within the hour. Milk chocolate is just too sweet and I never thought I'd switch over to dark chocolate but it truly tastes better to me now. I haven't had cravings for fast food this year at all. I hardly ever eat pasta anymore which was one of my favorite things in the past, but I don't miss it. If I do want to indulge, I have something well made and delicious. No cheap crap anymore.0

I've lost my taste for most carbs, fried foods, and sweets. I crave mostly proteins. Boxed foods drive me nuts. Still getting used to more fruits & water.
My soda habit has died down considerably, although I still have 1-2 a day. It beats downing 12-24 12oz cans of Coke a day! Soda was always my "go to" item when I was stressed out. Yoga has helped me keep the stress level down, but on occasion a soda is craved.0 -
Deep fried foods-- most of them.0
-
None. I love anything and everything, and I fit them into my goal just fine.2
-
Nothing..oh except hard boiled eggs/egg salad.. yea I overdid it then ended up with gastro so I have an aversion, hopefully it passes at some point.0
-
1. Fast food breads (buns, subway roles, many soft tortillas)
2. Boxed Mac and cheese
3. My wife and I call it "chemical cheese" like on nachos
4. Soda
5. Milk chocolate as well. I love Dark
6. Chicken Nuggets (any processed chicken paste) gag.
I used to love all of the above1 -
Rice, although I wasn't a fan even before. Potatoes. Fruit yogurt. Pasta. Skittles. Basically any kind of very sweet dessert that is not also very chocolaty.
But everything else, it's still there allright - including bread, croissants, milk chocolate, pizza, fresh pretzels (staple street food around here, you can always smell them in the morning). I think I'd enjoy them just as much.0 -
French fries with the exception of McDonald’s when they are hot, fresh, and crispy.0
-
McDonalds.
Which is weird, because I do still eat fast food, but for some reason McDonald's is completely unappealing to me. Maybe part of me knows the behavior that used to go with the McDonald's eating and I don't want to feel that way again.1 -
Subway.....potato chips.....frosting.1
-
Before the stroke came I cannot stand meat. Now, I eat hamburger and steak. But I eat more vegetables: onion, bell pepper, spinach and broccoli.
After the stroke I cannot handle sugarless drinks. They always taste like chemicals to me, but the notable exception Diet Cherry Zero. It's the best.1 -
Dominos Bacon Jalapeno cheesy bread..
Ok, it's still delicious, but I had one the other day and not only felt like trash afterwards, but didn't feel clean again until I had taken a long shower and cleaned my entire apartment.
Also sweet yogurts. They're like candy, minus all the delicious bits. Gross.1 -
Garlic butter and garlic salt
Marshmallows (toasted)
Hershey’s chocolate
Beef (still eat it sometimes)
Salted mixed nuts
Soda
Quest protein bars
Most cake unless if I’m super hungry.
Dry cereal
Cheap ramen ( I love the authentic stuff)
Hot dogs
Boxed Mac and cheese
Just to name a few. There are others.

Not sure that I've lost the taste, but not having had fried foods for a while, they don't "like" me anymore. Makes my stomach upset and gives me the *puppies*5 -
Nothing! I want all the foods!5

Used to love lemon cheesecake, a particular make being my favourite. Because of the high calorie count, plus the one I loved having 6 portions. With nobody to share it with and don't like waste, I'd given it a miss (for over a year). Was the only food item I missed. Recently had the opportunity to have a small slice and thought I'd treat myself and work it into my budget. But I hated it, it tasted as if excess sugar granules had been stirred through. It was that bad I only had a couple of mouthfuls and left the rest. At least I know longer feel like I'm missing out.0
