I've been eating healthy & exercising for 3 weeks now (Wednesday was my 3rd week)...I've noticed lately now that I've been eating healthier and exercising that my tastes for new vegetables & fruits has grown. Example, today I went to Publix to pick up a half sub and I had them put onions and peppers all over it (giving them another try seeing as I used to hate onions & peppers)...when I started eating I really enjoyed them and wish I would had just gotten a veggie sub instead of turkey. Anyone else had this success lately?

Yes! I love earthy flavours like humus, seaweed, tofu, spinach, beans, sesami oil... ( btw try dipping a banana in humus!heaven!! )
I don't like salty or really sweet stuff anymore.... like ketchup, fruit juices, instant soup.
Anything with aspartame or monosodium glutamate leaves a weird sting on my tongue.
And cakes with gelatin toppings or dipping sauces with gelatin or any thickener just turn me off.0 -
I used to hate peppers. Now I make a chicken and vegetable stir fry with red and green peppers and green beans and I find myself digging through the pan for more peppers! YUM!0

processed sugary foods leave a bad taste in my mouth, though I still eat them. I like beets now though.0

As you can imagine, I have made many changes. I don't have a taste for grease or sugar anymore. As for new things, the biggest is cottage cheese. I never could stand it and gagged if I took a bite, but with some prodding from my nutritionist, I experimented till I found a way I could eat it. Now it's my go to breakfast, I find that it helps keep my weight loss going and slims me down more, all while keeping me satisfied. The way I like it is with sugar free vanilla Torani syrup and either diced peaches or sliced bananas, totally changes it into something good.0

You should try roasting some vidalia onions up with red and green pepper, and asparagus!!! DELICIOUS!0 -
There weren't a lot of foods that I truly disliked before I started living a healthier lifestyle. I do notice that ultra-sugary stuff makes me sick, and even one or two hash browns or french fries isn't appealing to me like it used to be.
I constantly crave steamed brocolli, salmon, peanut butter, carrots...
Oh, and in the last year my love for water has become unparallelled by anything else - like, nothing... ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, is as satisfying as a cool bottle of water to sip on.0 -
Brussel sprouts! Don't hate0

Peanut butter and oatmeal.... you, sir, just gave me my new favorite breakfast food! That sounds delish!0 -
tomatoes - but I can only eat them cooked still.0
-
I've always loved veggies and fruits, but the biggest change is water. I still enjoy flavored water, but plain water is my thirst-craving now!
I've also found that there are several things I cannot eat now. It's not to much "types" of foods as it is calorie counts of them. I can still handle fast food, say the occasional Taco Bell, but now it's just a hard shell taco instead of the giant meal combo I used to eat in one sitting.0 -
When I was little I liked ketchup, but hated tomatoes. Now I love tomatoes but don't really care for ketchup. weird...0
-
I used to despise cantaloupe but now it's not so bad.0
-
I can't think of anything. But you guys are making me hungry as all get out. And I've got this sudden, intense craving for a glass of ice-cold water...0

artichokes (love em)
tomatos (still trying to accept them but eating them more and more)
sprouts (on my sammie and burgers)0 -
Avocado/Guacamole (Can't get enough!!)
sweet potatos
hummus
some wheat tortillas
whole grain bread
greek yogurt
asparagus
string beans
steamed veggies
plain baked potato (I used to pile crap on them, now I love them plain with a little salt)
I'm sure there is more. I love how often I say "Wow, eating healthy tastes sooo good!!!" lol0 -
cottage cheese, pears, tuna0
-
I can actually taste the salt in things with mega amounts of sodium in them, like yesterday i made scalloped potatoes and they were yuck cause all i could taste was salt...the home made chicken burger was heaven though and made up for it0
