    I'm trying to think of all the "good for you" foods I ate when starting to lose weight that I might have hated (because, obviously, I've always loved cookies and cakes and pastries, etc) but can't think of a one.

    I'm pretty picky with my "good for you" foods, I guess. :)

    Um, would foods you hate before trying them and then still hating them work? :)

    Cuz....beets!

    OH! Pepperoni!

    Used to love it. Now, because of after effects, I hate it. :)

    I used to love blue cheese and pate as a kid, now I'm not a huge fan.

    Also have several taste aversions that I've developed over the years. Peach schnapps, tequila :s key lime pie, coconut macaroons, white marshmallows (I can still have them but only if they are mixed into something). I overdid it a bit and now those foods make my stomach turn.

    There have always been very few fruits and vegetables that I didn't geuinely enjoy, but there are a few that deterred me when I was younger. While the taste didn't appeal to me, it was mostly due to texture or appearance, which usually meant I didn't even try the food.
    Examples include:
    mushrooms, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, pears, okra, sauerkraut.

    Over years of gradually reintroducing these foods, I've grown to like them -- and the texture/appearance don't really bother me like they did when I was younger!!

    There are many foods that I've since dismissed from my diet, however -- due to sensitivities and general dislike for them:
    potatoes, bananas, peas, corn, lentils, beans (except for green beans), nuts, dairy, soy, grains.

    Cauliflower. DESPISED it - the smell, the texture the flavor - all my adult life.

    Not bad now.

    I didn't like greek yogurt but i kept making myself eat it occasionally for the handy protein aspect. Somewhere along the line I began loving it!

    I now like:
    Eggplant
    Avocado
    Green peas (still iffy on this one sometimes)
    All kinds of mustard

    I still kind of hate raw tomatoes, especially cherry tomatoes, and absolutely HATE both potato and egg salads.

    Coffee.
    I hated it, even as I reached adulthood.
    Then, I started liking those fancy frozen Frappuccino-type things (gateway drug).
    Then, I started drinking iced lattes.
    Then, any iced coffee, but still didn't like it hot.
    Now, I HAVE to have hot coffee in the morning, with just a splash of milk.
    I suppose next I'll be drinking it black.

    Use to hate:
    Avocado
    Brussel Sprouts
    Cashews
    Onions


    My rule is that I always try something once or again if its been a long time.
    If I don't like it then I don't have to eat it again, but my taste buds have definitely changed over the years!

    I thought anchovy, herring and sardine were gross as a kid, then I went pescatarian and ate them regularly but now back to appalled knowing more about fish and enviornment and consciousness as a vegan
    I love vegetables and enjoy them without anything but maybe sea salt instead of with butter. I just started eating avocadi the past few years
    There are way more I used to love that I would not eat at all now.

    I only would eat it in a cheesy tuna casserole when I was younger
    . Now I eat it every day for lunch. Plain tuna mixed with salsa or added in with mac and cheese.

    I liked tuna as a kid but now I can't stand it!

    Funny I can't think of anything I hated as a kid and now love. I guess I need to be more experimental with food, lol.

    With me I am not really that picky about any one particular food but some food combos make me GAG. Like the thought of ketchup and tuna lol

    Used to hate mushrooms. Then had some by accident on a pizza and now I LOVE them!
    Used to hate eggplant....but if cooked correctly it can be yummy.
    Used to hate flavored water enhancers by not liking all the artificial stuff. Now I love the stevia one I found.
    Used to hate meat, now I love steak.
