I think the point is, when changing your diet, you have to be open to new tastes and ideas. Your taste buds are used to a certain type of flavour if you regularly eat meat. You essentially have to retrain your body to accept and eventually love the food you are feeding it. It will take some time, but your body will adapt. When I first turned vegetarian, I had to expose myself to foods I actively disliked, the same with vegan, I have literally had to overhaul my taste buds (again!), but the result it so worth it. Not only will you leaern to love these foods (I honestly enjoy my food now, far far more than I ever did when I ate rotting animal corpse), you will feel so much better. Like a weight has been lifted out of your intestine!

Of course, there will be food you still don't like after your tastebuds and body have adjusted (porridge still makes me gag), but that is genuine preference, not a training issue!

I really wish you the best of luck with your new diet.
