Since I started losing weight, I seem to have become more adventurous and experimental with food. A lot more so than before.

For example, before I disliked all seafood (even fish fingers), olives, mushrooms, tea and coffee, most types of nuts, parsnips, fruit had to be a certain ripeness or I'd claim it was horrible and wouldn't eat it, scrambled eggs. Unfortunately egg white still seems to be a real problem for me, but hey! we all have to have something lol. Now I love all of those things.

Has anyone else found this has happened to them? Whats been your favourite foodie discovery?

Too many to list!! It really does help open your mind a little bit. I would have never tried spaghetti squash until people started touting the nutritional value and I've discovered it's pretty versatile... and delicious! Who knew?

Nuts! And since I've been eating nuts I hardly ever crave chocolate. Not sure why I didn't eat them before.. I had it in my head that if I was going to hit calorie rich foods I might as well have something like cake instead of nuts haha

I found it interesting that I read somewhere that people are all about acquired tastes. Alcohol to get a buzz, coffee to stay awake, cigs for the nicotine. But when it comes to vegetables and healthy foods, people are not willing to change their tastes for better health. I found myself eating raw bok choy the other day, and enjoying it. I have always liked veggies, but something like this would have always had to be cooked before. Opening up your palate is definitely a great thing for more variety. Sometimes I would rather just not eat than have to try and come up with something to eat that's on plan. When there's a wide variety of choices, that makes it a lot easier.

I suddenly can sit down and snack on asparagus like potato chips. Who knew? I used to hate it.

Over the past few years I have been able to stomach more food, but I think it's just because I am growing up (I'm almost 21 now). I still don't like many foods. But I also have always like random foods, like califlour and parsnips and bamboo shoots and bbq tofu. But I HATE tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, most fish. I only eat beef, pork (sometimes), chicken, ham, turkey, your standard meets. But I can't stomach anything else. I remember as a kid I had a problem swallowing food, like even Pizza, the cheese would get stuck in my throat and I'd have to pull it out (sorry..). Sometimes I hate the taste, sometimes its the texture. I only recently decided I can eat onions if its in moderation. I loved salad as a kid, but couldn't eat lettuce on sandwiches for soooo long! I can't attribute it to working out, because until recently, I haven't been working out.
