I like bone marrow, but I don't think I could eat organ meats and/or stomach contents. I guess I better stick to smoothies so I can get some vegetables into my diet.

I try to avoid the microwave as much as possible, but it can be difficult at work. I also avoid reheating anything in plastic containers, the smell is gross. I have a small grill and plan to start using it very soon, I love the taste of grilled meats and veggies. Thank you for the suggestions on protein vs fat. I am trying…

I do force myself to eat certain foods because I know they are good for me. Some foods, though, I can't. The gag reflex is too much. As I make progress in removing all unnecessary sugar from my diet, I hope the taste of some foods will improve. Can't do much about texture, though.

That's a great suggestion. I'll have to give that a try. Thanks!

I don't have an issue with Candida (thank God!), and I wasn't aware that it could have an effect on tastebuds. Interesting...

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. I've been working on some recipes and so far so good.

Hi Twibbly, There are certain veggies I can eat when reheated (asparagus and broccoli). Proteins, tend to be the main problem. Chicken takes on a very unpleasant smell and taste, and even beef tastes off. I will look into the links you posted for ideas. Hi Akimajuktuq, I grew up in another country where we ate a lot of…

Thank you, Dragonwolf. I didn't know there was a name for my picky palate. ;) I have been concerned with the lack of vegetables in my diet but now feel better after reading that post. I tried ghee, but it probably had some leftover protein because it made me sick. I have increased my meat intake, while trying to stay…

Hi everyone, I'm Sara from Colorado and my goal is to lose 25 pounds. I have struggled with my weight since I hit puberty and have tried and failed at many, many diets. For the past two years I've lost and gained the same 10 pounds, over and over. I've tried low-carb diets in the past; most recently the Paleo Diet and I…
