What's the grossest tasting stuff you eat/drink that's "good" for you?

Someone posted a recipe for a tuna shake on my Body for Life (a weight training program requiring lots of protein) diet site. So I thought hmmmm... sounds like that Pericone diet where you transform your skin with salmon in a way. Tried the tuna shake yesterday and then today did a salmon shake and reread the Pericone weight loss book - that shows before and after pictures of people who supposedly lose 10 years on salmon and other supplements. I tried this diet before and used to half puke when I ate salmon but agreed that my skin was different.

Anyways salmon is still fairly gross tasting to me BUT in a shake but at least I can get it down QUICK - the recipe is tuna or spinich, with maybe some oatmeal all blended up in a blender. It's a red/green color, but amazing it wasn't as BAD as I thought. Just wondering what other gross tasting "miracle" foods people use to lose weight and be healthy? This one I might actually stick with 4-5 times a week along with fish oil and other supplements.

Just to see... Heck maybe I'll come out of this with weight loss and minus 5 years on my age.

Honestly, if it doesn't taste good, I don't eat it.

The closest is my multi-vitamin, which smells pretty nasty.

haha eww I don't know if I can drink fish! I loove love love smoked salmon though. Same as mandalinn, if it's gross I don't eat it lol no matter how healthy it is.

Well this isn't eating it, it's drinking it down as quickly as possible to get benefits... just wonder if benefits are worth GROSS even quick GROSS

Eeuw, a fish shake. Why not just take fish oil capsules?

I don't eat or drink things I think are gross either. I like salmon and I like tuna but I wouldn't drink either one.

I don't like bananas. I know they would be a great thing for me to incorporate, esp. after long runs, but it ain't happening.

I'm still a foodie at heart. The ingredients are whole and healthy, but what I eat is still delicious.

my parents used to make me drink carrot and garlic juice when I was a kid! I guess drinking it is better.. but I'm not willing to part with any calories for non- yummy food anyway

lol exactly! i'm going to spend my calories on yummy stuff.

That's how I used to diet... stuffing things in that are healthy but not appetizing. I'm like everyone else.. if I don't like it, I won't eat it.

That said, there are some things I am trying to eat because they are healthier though they wouldn't be my first choice. I have bought some big fat carrots and when I'm starving but know I've already eaten a lot, I'll eat on of those.. takes me like 30 minutes to eat it! The taste is fine but I most often eat it when I am craving something like chocolate.

I used to take fish oil capsules and totally mean to again but I burp up fishy taste for like 2 hours, which I don't care for. If I better plan when I take them, it would probably make the taste less obvious.

They make better ones now. They're micronized or deionized or microfiltered or something . I don't get any fishy burps at all.

A salmon shake? That sounds absolutely disgusting Im not wasting my calories on something that doesn't taste good. I need to find some of the fish oil capsules that don't give you fishy burbs, has anybody found any?

I LOVE food, most all nutritious, delicious...food. Since I like such a wide variety of delicious food, I will not "spend" my calories on something I don't find tasty. I did that in the old days during a binge...I'd eat cold french fries or something equally disgusting, (gross) for the sake of eating. I don't do that anymore.

Floradix, my iron supplement. (I'm a little anemic after my latest pregnancy.) I used to take it with orange juice, which made it not so bad, but now I just take it straight. It's a bit nasty, but doesn't have the unpleasant digestive side effects of other iron supplements.

Hey that's a great idea, let's mix the salmon with orange juice.

if you FREEZE the fish oil pills they don't give you fishy burps.

I eat or drink nothing that tastes gross. If I make my way of life unpalatable I'm less likely to stick to it!
