[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 50 with a lifelong abhorrence of legumes. Peas, beans, lentils, chickpeas...I can't stand the smell, can't stand the texture. I can tolerate thin green beans that are cooked al dente and a very smooth black bean dip, but that's about it. I've been known to eat around beans in chili and also in pasta fagiole, and other soups.

That said, I have recently tested very high for cholesterol and have been advised of a plant-based diet to try and avoid going on medications. I really want to make dietary changes for the better, but even the smallest black bean in a quesadilla or burrito can literally gag me.Please suggest preparations or ways to reset my taste buds.[/quote]
You know when my cholesterol was the highest? When I first became vegetarian years ago. Vegetarian does not necessarily mean healthy. I still need to watch my cholesterol. You can do healthy and still eat some lower fat types of meat like chicken and fish. I like skinny taste bc you can pick the type
of diet and main ingredients. The only bean I really like btw is black bean. A lot of Latin American cuisine (Brazilian, Cuban, etc) have good recipes/spices that complement black beans well. Also eat foods you do like (vegetables, fruits, high quality grains) that are high in fiber. Good luck.
