"Good" foods you hate that make it hard to eat healthy

Heya!

I have a bit of a strange pallette and consequently find it pretty hard to find any sample healthy menus that appeal to me. Does anyone else run into this? For example, I pretty much never eat any of the following:

Milk, Cereal, Yogurt, Granola, Peanut butter, Bananas, Grapes, Cherries, Oranges, Strawberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, Pineapple, Ice cream, Chocolate, Cake/cookies/pies/bars/donuts/candy, Egg yolks, Hamburgers, Bacon, Junk food, Coffee, Soda.

I'm alergic to nothing; I just don't like these things.

Any similar experiences?

    That must make it hard for you!

    I dislike vegetables with a passion. Hate them! I can tolerate broccoli and cauliflower once a day. I force it down at dinner. No other veggies during the day. I know I *should* eat them, but I don't.

    Honestly, you should learn to eat some food. Over the last several days you've been living on vitamin supplements, diet coke, and beer.

    I've never considered myself as having a strange pallette, but of the things you mentioned, the only ones I eat on a regular basis are peanut butter and strawberries. And maybe "junk food", depending on what you mean by that. Feel free to look at my diary for meal suggestions. I don't log on the weekends, but you can check out the week days if you want.

    Some meal suggestions that don't use things on your list:

    Grilled salmon w/ roasted brussel sprouts
    Shrimp stir fry with spinach salad
    Chicken marsala
    Quinao salad and baked orange roughy
    Black bean soup and salad
    Cajun red beans and rice
    Roast turkey and baked sweet potato

    I agree with this. I hadn't looked at your diary until I saw Sabina's comment. You need real food in your system.
