Foods you've (surprisingly) ended up liking on Atkins?

[Monet]

cheese...I just don't like cheese all by itself, but now I like many different types...provolone, smoked gouda, goat cheese, feta, and most of all I LOVE blue cheese now.

ooooooh, I forgot pork rinds. i used to LOATH them and even smelling a bag made me gag. Now i like them, but only one brand.

Brussel sprouts. I couldn't stand even the smell of them. Now I love them cut in half and sauteed in butter and garlic. Hmmmm...might have to pick some up for tonights dinner. I think they'd go well with shrimp.

for me it is veggies, not that I did not like them really before but I never made them, or just snacked on them, if I got ina veggie durning they day on my old eating pattern, it was a french fry, now I eat more green leafy veggies than I ever thought I would..

Veges full stop. Before Atkins I used to eat mine on pizza lol

Cauliflower, I used to HATE cauliflower, just the thought of it made me sick, now I love it! I can´t believe I didn´t like it before, it´s so crispy and yummi...

Steak and pork. The way my mother cooked these things (and the cuts she'd choose), you'd think that gristle was on the menu. My DH, however, is a whiz with beef and pork.

I think he's hoping to someday get me to like ham, but for now I'll stick with the "other white meat" rather than the uber-sweet taste of a cooked ham :tounge

Eggs prolly for me. I never really cared that much for them cuz they usually made me nausious when I ate them, but now I find I have to limit myself how much I eat, I could eat like 10 a day - especially hard boiled mixed with some cream cheese...mmm...

*PORK RINDS!! With anything and everything on them. My new treat is a few pork rinds with cinnamon and splenda on them. I never would have thought of eating that before Atkins, but they are soo yummy. I have made microwave nachos with them and always use them to scoop up tuna salad. They are also good with some dip made with cream cheese, cream, and chopped olives and celery.
*Eggs - I used to not be able to eat eggs more than once every few weeks. It's not that I didn't like them, I think it had something to do with the thought of making my cholesterol even higher than it allready is...but now I eat them almost every morning and love them!
*Splenda - I used to be a nay-sayer when it came to artificial sweeteners. I didn't like the taste of them and I was concerned about side effects that might come with using them. Now sugar would probably be too sweet for me.

Cooked spinach. I had only eaten it raw in salads before. And I had never even heard of flax and now have it in some form every day.
