Hate Fruits & Veggies

Good luck with your micronutrient deficiency goals

Just like anything a person finds tough or hard in their life, you know what's best, so whenever you are mentally ready, you will suck it up and just do it, otherwise it won't work.

You don't need them to be healthy. This 5-a-day stuff is just marketing bull****. Just get lots of meat and you're good.

I hardly ever eat fruit or veggies.

Well unfortunately you will not get the response you want here... people will tear a strip off of you and tell you to not be so picky (if you really want to lose weight you will do what you need to do!) Good luck on your journey!

You're totally right! Everybody's different!!

I have read in the paper recently that school cafeterias are "hiding" vegetables in other foods - for instance cooked and pureed hubbard squash mixed in with macaroni and cheese. Start out with adding a small amount and increasing as you adjust to the taste. To experiment, buy some pureed baby foods to add in to see if you like that. Meatloaf is a good thing to hide veggies in, as is spaghetti and lasagne.

Hate is such a strong word. How do you think the fruits and veggies feel when you say you hate them?? I thought this was a place of support! Such negativity!

Honestly, I can understand where you are coming from because I hate most vegetables. Never had a problem with fruit though-that is delicious! But that being said, there are a select few that I do like/can tolerate. I'm sure there's been at least one fruit and one vegetable that you've eaten that you haven't adamantly hated, so focus on that one! For example, raw baby carrots are one of the few vegetables I'll eat. So what if I eat them everyday? I'm still getting some veggie nutrition.
Also, V8 makes those fusion drinks with one serving of fruit and one of vegetables in every glass, worth a shot. And you can find fiber in plenty of other things!

Love the graphic--where did you find it?

That would be very difficult. My husband doesn't like fruit or veggies too.. Theres a way you can cook them to taste better but again, my husband still gag or puke if he tries them. But at least he tries them and his best to enjoy them. I would suggest just stay in your limited calories and try working out more. Just walking everyday helps. Or playing something you like- such as bowling or swimming. Hope this helps.

I don't really like fruits or veggies either, I try and try to make them in ways I like but don't really get anywhere. I've had lap-band surgery, so protien is really my focus. Mornings I do eggs and veggie sausage (I actually do manage to get spinach in there, I can't taste it over the sausage) or greek yogurt and almonds and an apple with natural peanut butter. Lunch is usually tuna or turkey on a whole wheat pita. Dinners are often chicken or pork tenderloin and a little brown rice. I think it's possible to lose without F&V, though a vitamin supplement is probably a good idea. A lot of lean protien and a little of whole grains is working for me. Good luck!

Thats a lie!
You cannot hate them ALL! There are hundreds of fruits and vegetables out there and saying you don't want to eat any of them is practicaly saying you don't wanna eat at all.
Try to find something you like and combine it with meat or whatever your eating

I could've posted your exact post! I've been on here since January 3, 2012. I can say that I have made a conscious effort to try new things, new ways of eating veggies/fruits that I've already tried, etc. I did start making smoothies and like those... 1/2 banana, some frozen strawberries, and some frozen peaches with a little bit of skim milk in my blender sweetened with stevia. After I got sick of that, I started eating a banana with nutella and one pretzel stick mashed up in a bowl. I do like berries in dannon light and fit vanilla yogurt. It's the only brand of yogurt I like. Veggies are my biggest problem. About the only things I like are raw carrots with hidden valley ranch light dressing, green beans fresh steamed... yeah, that's about it . One thing that has helped me eat other veggies is a seasoning called Spike. You can find it at whole foods or other health stores. If I put that on broccoli or cauliflower with a little bit of butter, it's actually pretty tasty. I can't eat vegetables plain... gross. I've also aquired a taste for sweet potatoes which I had always hated. I put a little bit of butter and celtic sea salt on it and it's pretty good... no cinnamon and sugar! Good luck and I hope this helps. Oh yeah, one other thing I saw on Rachel Ray is to puree veggies and put it in your spaghetti sauce. It was a tip to get kids to eat their veggies .
