Anyone care to share what they hated the most?

    A lot of protein bars taste really bad. I've never had a Musashi protein bar that tasted OK, let alone nice. And Isowhey bars are like eating leather.

    I did a fruit and veg juice fast where we juiced some kale, turnip, and mustard greens. Now, even the SMELL of fresh raw greens makes me want to toss my cookies!

    i agree, need to drown the dryness with chocolate sauce and ice cream! Kind of defeats the purpose!

    The worst tasting to me are always the fat-free things that are supposed to be high fat, like salad dressing, mayo, butter, etc. Not only do they taste like crap, but they're so full of chemicals, it's no wonder they taste that way. And they never really satisfy the desire for the real thing anyway. So now if I really want chocolate or dressing or whatever, I go ahead and have a small amount of the actual food. But in general, I've learned to do without most of the stuff -- I now like plain baked potatoes, tuna with hot dog relish instead of mayo, etc. I do occasionally use a spray or so of "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter," but if I really want butter, I use a little of the genuine article.

    Oh... The most recent yuckiest thing I tried was Faygo brand Chocolate Fudge diet soda. Pure chemical taste! Aaack!!

    Woww, really? I absolutely love those actually.
    Only thing I can't stand is any 'diet' drinks. Can't get over the chemical taste/aftertaste.

    I don't usually buy or eat "diet" foods, I'd rather have a bit less of the real thing.
    But, a few weeks ago I saw a recipe for a curry using "coconut flavoured evaporated milk". I should have known better... it was gross!

    I would normally say all of them are disgusting, but Laughing Cow light Garlic & Herb cheese is pretty darn good on a cracker.

    Skim milk. I gave up milk because skim is not even worth it. Actually I use non-dairy milks instead, lower in calories and much tastier!

    I eat a lot of diet stuff and don't usually notice the difference or I even prefer it. I draw the line at fat free cheese though. I can deal with lowfat cheese as part of a meal or lowfat cream cheese, but fat free is awful.

    Also: SmartOnes pizza. I like frozen diet dinners. I love pizza. But SmartOnes pizza truly tastes like cardboard.
