1) The hate the food thing doesn't last forever. Somehow, once your body kicks sugar, your taste actually changes. Not completely, but you won't notice that protein flavor everything has so much.
2) Break out the spice cabinet girl! My husband and I spice up everything. Add garlic salt and chili powder to the chili. (Or anything else that suits your fancy - as long as you keep an eye on the carb/fat content. ) I love ortega chilis and put a teaspoon of chopped ones in there with taco seasoning sometimes. We especially like g. salt and curry in the chicken noodle, which handles a lot of different combinations really well. It's our favorite lunch food from Medifast, because we can eat it a lot and change the flavor so we don't get tired of it. Try adding Better Than Boullion to the soups and frozen Crystal Light cubes to your shakes. They have a lot of different flavors. I love adding Crystal Light Pineapple/Orange frozen cubes to a banana shake for breakfast. You can mix and match. Don't feel because you're eating prepared foods that you can't make them your own. You can!
I imagine that there is a recipe for the muffins in the recipe thread - mine uses pudding, oatmeal and eggs - makes 6 muffins with 6 medifast meals - they are great! If you need a recipe - just holler! The muffins have totally saved me and they are portable!
