You're fine. Eat your veggies and enjoy. Fruit doesn't have anything that veggies don't besides a bit of natural sugar.

FWIW, my son isn't a fruit eater, either. I never worried as he ate his veggies with no problems.

Surely there's loads of things you don't like, what do you do then? Either suck it up or avoid it.
It's the same with fruit, either suck it up and make yourself eat fruit or just don't. I don't see the issue.

haha - I detest veggies but love fruit And if you're getting enough veggies, fruit may not be necessary. I want both.
My solution is a juicer/blender where I mix it all up and just choke it down 3 times per day.
That's how I get my veggies! God knows I won't eat them normally...

Yes, along with cucumbers, peppers, avocado, and squash. There are lots of fruits that we eat as vegetables (savory versus sweet).

OP, as others said, don't eat foods you don't like. The nutrients found in those foods can be found in other foods so don't worry about it.

What do you hope to get from fruit? Fiber you can get from veggies. Vitamins you can get from veggies. Many veggies are technically "fruits" (as opposed to roots, stems, or leaves). Things like avocado, beans, peas, corn, cucumbers, olives, peppers, pumpkin, squash, sunflower seeds and tomatoes...all fruits! I don't think a person *has* to eat sweeter fruits for any real reason other than preference.

How can you say you dont like fruit?

A blueberry tastes nothing like a banana, for example, which tastes nothing like a tomato, which taste nothing like a kiwi.... etc.....

beamer0821

Vegetables. You don't have to ever eat fruit to be healthy.

Actually I think avocados are drupes like peaches, apricots and nectarines.......

I'm 66 and have never eaten fruit. I don't like the smell of it! Odd, I know. But I'm fit, healthy and strong and never been ill in my life. So, don't eat what you don't like.

I found once I cut table sugar/ corn syrup out of my diet, I started liking fruit again. I just don't think my tastebuds were up for the more delicate sweetness. I eat grapes, apples, oranges, etc.

forkofpower

I've heard of people eating fruit but hating veggies...never heard of the reverse before. Eat your veggies, you should be good.

LiveLoveRunFar

Me too. As soon as I cut out the refined sugar, flour/pasta etc., fruit tasted much better. But I ate a LOT of sugar and junk so I'm sure my tastebuds were messed up.

raysputin

It's early days yet, but there is evidence coming in that fructose behaves differently in our bodies than other simple sugars. Fructose appears to enhance fat storing in humans and reduces the "fullness" response. This matches with the most likely survival strategy of early humans.
While we wait for more studies, it might be wise, in weight loss situations, to eat sweet fruit sparingly. OK, so nutrients and fibre are lowered as well but these can be made up by vegetables.

liz1531

so don't eat it? I missed where fruit is vital for our survival. I'd be more concerned if instead of fruit you're eating other sugars.

I'll happily eat any that you don't want I adore both (except avocardo, truely revolting), as others have said don't feel obliged to eat what you don't like.

arditarose

I don't like fruit before 11:30 am.

sydneydeb

I had banana and strawberries on my cereal this morning and am snacking on frozen blueberries right now

annangelich

I am glad you asked this, I don't eat fruit, I like fruit, but I don't eat it too much... I eat veggies regularly and love them.
