diet or health foods you wouldn't touch

just for fun...

no matter how "healthy" or "good for you" or "full of vitamins" they are, let's admit: there ae some foods that are just NASTY. list yours here!

examples:

raw spinach

plain oatmeal

mini-wheats (sans frosting)

cantaloupe

juice

how diverse tastes are -- with the exception of the cantelope, I love everything on your list

I won't eat:

tofu (but have)

melon

cooked carrots, peas, or squash

and a plethora of others

P.S. OMG!! squash... *drool*

I love canteloupe! It's sweet, tender, and yummy. In terms of melon, honeydew, watermelon, and canteloupe reign supreme.

 

Things I'd avoid? Unsweetened soy milk. Back in the day, I'd drink a lot of sweetened soy milk. I'll eat pretty much everything else (I happen to love boiled broccoli, carrots, and lots of veggies).

 

Then again, I'm really no longer on a diet. I'm just maintaining, and looking to become an uber athlete.

okra

kale

beets

turnips

eggplant

bell peppers

mustard

lima beans

cream of wheat

tofurkey

tofuna

drinking straight raw cider vinegar

 

=^..^= MOLLY

 

brussel sprouts

lima beans

garbanzo beans (it's a texture thing!)

canned peas

tofu

bell peppers

persimmons

ketchup

protein bars (taste like vitamins to me-yuk!)

oysters

cottage cheese

OMG I love spinach I can't believe people who don't!

I wont go for Tofu and I really hate figs but most other fruits and veggies I like. I can't handle plain green tea but like the fruit flavoured ones and any milk other than skimmed cows milk is a total avoidance they are universally horrible. And I hate aubergines (eggplants).

*shudder* I really hate aubergines!

so much of that stuff i love haha! like eggplant, tofu, plain oatmeal, raw spinach, cantelope..wat else was there??

 

green tea is disgusting though! i recon

I second the green tea - I don't know how people  drink the stuff.

My list of gross "healthy" foods are:

avocados

whole chick peas (strangely, I really like hummus)

tofu

brussel and alfalfa sprouts

water chesnuts

beets

okra

are beets healthy?  I wouldn't know, one has NEVER passed my lips in almost 40 years! 

Also, not a fan of the green tea, oysters, or any cooked greens (love raw spinach though) - but everything else on these lists is awesome in my book! 

Basically, anything synthetic.  Especially aspartame and olestra.

mmmmmm...aspartame

I think my top nasty healthy food has to be spirulina.  Now, I'm half-Japanese, and I eat kelp all the time, but I can't go for the algae.  I've tried it dried, in smoothies, a bunch of different ways, and the taste and smell are just too much.  I love green tea, though, probably because I grew up with it.  I drink it Japanese style from powder.

I also can't stand:

green beans (my dad made me eat WAY too many of these as a kid)

avocado

okra

cottage cheese

anything in the squash family

I have a bunch of food I like but can't or shouldn't eat much because of allergies, too:

"fatty" fish like salmon or tuna because I'm allergic to fish oil (ironic with my Japanese blood).  I can also have a reaction if I eat the wrong kind of fish sauce (the kind made from anchovies).  My mom also has this allergy.

yogurt -- my system can't seem to handle the cultures

blue cheeses -- mold allergy

pineapple, tomatoes, bananas, papaya, mango, zucchini (and a bunch of other things) because I also have a latex allergy and these have the same protein as latex.

Surprisingly enough, I actually have a rather diverse diet, despite this.  And I eat bananas quite a bit even though they make my mouth itchy.

diet pop - i hate the aftertaste... and they don't agree with my stomach

tofu - gag

margarine (especially on popcorn) - double gag.. it makes the popcorn all soggy and gross

cottage cheese & fruit combos - i bought them once and threw them away

brussel sprouts - they smell like farts. i dont care what anyone says.

raw celery - gross

plain soy milk - smells like baby formula

Special K (all of them but especially the Vanilla Almond)

Grape fruit - the ONLY  fruit I ever not like...
Broccoli - tastes funny but I like mustard and cauliflower..
Celery - taste gross. cooked, uncooked, by it self or with other food, still gross
Carrot - taste gross.
Green olives - so salty!! but I like black olives.
Green beans - I tried to like it but.. didn't work.

Basically, I don't like veggies. So much for healthy diet... D:

-Lemon Jello

mlbtracy- thanks or forever turning me off of pineapple, tomatoes, bananas, papaya, mango,  and zucchini! latex protien... BLECH.

(actually, to be honest, I think I like those things oo much to part with them. Now I'll just have to deal with the mental image of eating latex... :P)

speaking o which- margarine is appearantly one molecule off from plastic. hungry anyone?

hee!  pop -- it's just a common protein IN latex and these foods that causes the allergy.  For those of us with a latex allergy, there's a whole slew of vegetables and fruits that have common ancestry to rubber trees or just are chemically similar which can cause a reaction.  They also cause reactions at different levels.  I can eat bananas with just a might itchiness, but mango makes my whole face break out.  My mom would always know when I drank pineapple juice as a kid because my lips would get all red and itchy, like clown lips.

*bumpp*

The foods already listed above should NOT be making me hungry but Ugh.



Water (it DOES have a taste - gross, but a little crystal light....) 

Rice cake (air is more filling, taste better)

Tofanything (texture)

Eggwhites (texture)

plain yougart (bitter)

brown rice (20yr memories from cabbage soup diet, eating it for an entire day)

Fage yogurt

Most green vegetables: Especially green beans

Actually that's pretty much it =]]

anything processed that has the word diet or lite on the label.
I like my foods as whole and chemical free as possible.  The less ingredients the better.
