I can't eat anything heavily fried anymore or with a lot of oil...it actually makes me physically ill...makes eating at a restaurant hard. 

Burgers and fries, also.

KFC.  My husband had some recently and it made me ill.  I'm also now OK with just one or two fries instead of a whole plateful.

I haven't lost an ounce of my sweet tooth though :)

Anything fried.  I used to live of french fries, but now I think they are just soggy and tasteless.

Actually anything thats really unhealthy just seems so tasteless.

I can't tolerate most highly processed foods. Things like poptarts, american cheese, cheez whiz, white bread (unless it's fresh homemade, even then in very small amounts), twinkies, hoho's, etc.  All of this stuff reminds me of plastic.

 

Pretty much yours. I don't think I'll ever eat pasta again. Also deep fried stuff. A couple fries off a friend's plate, maybe, but if I ate a whole meal I'd feel so sick. 

 

Overly sweet things like donuts. I get a sugar high, and a tummy ache, and they make me prone to bingeing. 

 

Rice. It's just a bad calorie bargain. Too many calories, not enough flavor.

 

Regular soda. *blech*

fried foods. french fries, tater tots, etc. also i hate things sauteed in oil.

cookies and cake and other sweets like that. i thought after going so long without them they'd taste so amazing. but like 2 months ago i ate a cookie and was like "oh. is that what i used to get so excited about?" now i'd rather have fruit, it's sweeter.

the thought of fast food makes my stomach churn. i hate like all of it.

In the past, I couldn't tolerate highly oily foods anyway, but now I've almost lost my liking for their taste (other day tried to eat a piece of fried chicken..ugh).

I also can't eat overly sweet things anymore.  The idea of a krispy kreme donut makes me feel a bit ill, and I can't even eat a minibar of Hershey's special dark chocolate anymore because it's too milky and rich for me.  I have to get really dark chocolate to satisfy my cravings.  Even raisins are a bit much for me by themselves.

Also, salty foods tend to be a little too salty for my tastes.  Makes me not like the dish as much.

I used to be quite a regular at the local chinese takeaway.... hence the excess body-weight!  Gave it up for about 6 months before finally relenting and ordering a few dishes.  It was completely awful.  Greasy, sugary, salty...  I didn't enjoy it at all.   Cured.

I used to be able to eat a whole can of chili with a hot dog cut up in it, but now that is wayyyyyy too much food to eat in one sitting.

As a kid, I loved Dinty Moore canned beef stew.  When I tried it years later, I was like, this is disgusting, what was I thinking?

Before going home-made healthy, I used to eat almost all meals out. Now, I hate the thought of eating out! One in particular comes to mind: My hubby and I used to eat at Applebee's and I used to love the ribs and fries basket. About 2 months ago, we went there and I got that dish. When it came, I was absolutely floored by the fact there was no way I could eat something that salty and the fries were disgustingly greasy!

I'm laughing because everyone's posts are grossing me out.  So, in short, all of the above :)

Was at a salad bar last night and completely avoided all the creamy/mayonnaise stuff.  Didn't do it on purpose - just when I was listing what I ate, I realized it was all vinegar based, with a little olive oil.  I guess it's getting to be inherent to pick out healthier foods, and I think it's because I like them more :)

potato chips,  I used to sit and eat an entire bag, now I look at them and think OMG look at all those calories, and sat fat, yuck

and non-diet soda, it's way to sweet and full of empty calories, I went hiking the other day and when we got to the top/end of the trail, this family gave their kids a 20oz bottle of sprite and I got all grossed out just thinking of how they were consuming most of the calorie that they burned hiking in one sugary soda.

Nowadays, almost all processed foods taste like salt to me.

I can hardly believe I used to like Kraft Singles as a kid.

Bagel Bites, Pepsi, Raisins .
red meat
all cakes and pies (not ice cream though :( )
french fries (i never ate fast food ones anyway, though)

My tasebuds still love everything, but last Sunday I had a 10-oz Max & Erma's burger and all the fries on the plate and while it all tasted great, my tummy did NOT cooperate.  I felt really blah for about two days.  It had been months since I'd eaten a burger and fries and my body did NOT appreciate the heavy food AT ALL.  (LOL!)  Oh, well, live and learn!

everytime i eat kfc, i get SERIOUSLY ill. like, puking uncontrollably ill.

but i've been that way ever since i could remember.. so that doesn't really count i guess. :\

Soda pop.......thought I would try one the other day and ended up spitting it out because it was nasty.

also, pizza makes me sick now, every time. i don't know why i try to give it a chance anymore.
