Did I mention your financial situation? Or did I actually state that you don't know mine.
Both, it would seem.Even if you did live in england I doubt you would live in my area. or have the same financial situation as my family.
How's that for passing judgement? Pretty sure you are judging me. Besides, I went for a run between posts.So for one how can you pass judgment on me?
At least I'm on here trying to get better and improve my lifestyle.
Yet you are sitting on your *kitten* trying to make others feel worse about theirs.
It's an open forum. I'll make suggestions as I see fit and when they are asked for and defend myself when I'm attacked.How about you leave my thread.
And take your attitude with you as I asked for Suggestions and ideas that may help me in furthering my improvement.
Actually it would seem I told you you still would not have the exact same situation as me no matter where you lived.
Therefore you can't judge me or my habits.
I'm judging you now since you are pissing me off.
I posted simply to gain useful information and yet your first post did not further my knowledge whatsoever and actually offended me since you was rude.
It's an open forum but that does not mean you have to be rude to people asking for tips or suggestions. If you are going to post something post something of quality and don't try to put that person down or not actually post something of use. And I think you will find you were the one who "attacked" me first. I am simply defending myself as you are being extremely rude.
Now the rest of the forum is an "open" forum but I am asking you to discontinue posting on my thread as I find you annoying and extremely rude so now. Please leave.0 -
You are gagging/vomiting on veg because you aren't used to eating it, the taste and texture are alien to you and this is your reaction.
I remember watching Jamie Olivers program where he was getting school children to eat healthier, most of them only ever ate ready meals/junk and when they tried the healthy food some of them vomited.
There is nothing wrong with the food you just need to get used to it.
Perhaps you should go back to your Dr and see exactly what your allergic to....allergies come and go.0 -
Time to grow up and eat your vegetables. They are a necessary part of a healthy diet. There are hundreds of vegetables to choose from. They will not all make you vomit.
Only veg I have actually been able to eat so far is:
Potatoes
And
Carrots.
I've also been trying to eat Spinnach, Sprouts, Cabbage and others.0 -
I'm due to go back in december for my check up.
Will ask him then.0 -
fruits and vegetables are all just carbohydrates.
when digested, the blood sees all carbs as 95% glucose anyway. The rest is fructose.
So don't worry about it. Eat what you want.
I eat a lot of crackers and potatoes but rarely eat fruit at all. Veggies occasionally.
WTH???
You're not going to get the vitamins etc you get from fruit and veg from crackers and potatoes!!
I hope you're joking0 -
OP, unfortunately, you have yet to see what "rude" really is around here. Trust me, I'm on the very polite end of the spectrum. I don't sugar coat things--that's much different than the flat-out nastiness you will see.
Here is one more piece of constructive advice before I leave: you should consider investing in a thicker skin if you plan to continue seeking advice here. I can see that your feathers ruffle a bit easily which is normal for someone your age. However, this is the internet. If you ask people to tell you what they think, they will. If you don't like what they say, it's best to ignore it and move on rather than poking at them, calling them names, commenting on their manners, etc. The reaction you get from me is far more polite that you would get from the average poster.
Enjoy your carrots. I'm off to indulge in some sushi with my children. Enjoy your evening. :flowerforyou:0 -

I asked for suggestions or tips. Not what you think about me.
So yes you was rude.
I never once asked anyone to sugar coat anything. I just simply asked for suggestions. Not your rudeness.0 -
I would try to hide veggies where ever possible. Carrots and broccoli can be steamed, blended and added to tomato sauce. Spinach, beets, carrots are all great in smoothies when you add a banana and strawberries. It is going to be really hard to try to stick to a diet, and not be hungry if you don't include some sort of veggies. I highly recommend roasting them. It really gives them a better flavor.0

Have you ever tried cucumber and onion marinated in vinegar? I like to use rice unseasoned vinegar with a touch of stevia. Chop of slice your cukes and onions and pour the vinegar over them. Toss every few minutes for about 30 minutes. Eat. Beets are good that way too. Good luck.

I was a VERY picky eater until a year ago. Then I decided I wasn't a child anymore. I sucked it up and started eating better for my health. Now I enjoy more foods.
I suggest you do the same thing.
Experiment with different ways of preparing vegetables because it does change the taste.0 -
So I am going to start insanity when I can afford it.
Or I may just try a free workout program.
Anyway, I would also like to eat a bit healthier at the same time... Only problem is I can't eat salad as I vomit whenever I eat it... Same with vegetables.
I mainly eat meat, mash, chips and fish fingers etc.
I've recently been told by the doctor that I am slightly overweight for my height and age and I have a high blood pressure...
I'm 6 ft 5 and weight 18 stone and I am also 18 years old.
For blood pressure maybe try cutting down on the salt. Have you tried hiding your veggies in your mash?
Did you have blood work done? If not, ask for it next time to see if you should start taking some vitamins.0 -
I forgot to mention I do like carrots but not a whole lot...
And so mash is alright then?
And All we ever have in the house is pre prepared food really...
Mash is fine, but...and this is a big but: It depends on how it is made, it can be healthy and it can be calorie dense.0 -
in our house all there ever is is pre prepared food such as fish fingers...
The healthiest thing I probably eat is tuna sandwiches.I also love boneless chicken, Lamb, Beef etc
Not to be rude, but it sounds like your family as a whole could need a new diet. If you want to be more healthy then be active. Offer to help cook, or shop make the food you eat more healthy. There are great tips here on how to eat healthy on a smaller budget, if your family isn't willing to change with you.0 -
Here's something! It takes someone 10 to 15 times of trying a particular food to like it. Keep trying to change that palette! You will have a lot more to worry about than just your weight if you don't. Besides, going out to dins with a picky eater is a drag!! think of your dating life!
Good Luck,

What about fruits? You can get fresh when they're in season and frozen or canned when they aren't in most places. My daughter hardly eats any vegetables at all but she loves her fruit. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peaches, apples, citrus fruits, plums, pears, grapes...so many choices and she loves almost all of them. I don't know if you can get it there (we live in Canada) but there are several juice companies that make a fruit/vegetable juice mix that my children love (V-8, SunRype and Oasis are the brand names here.)
You mentioned you can eat some of the milder tasting vegetables, like carrots and peppers, so what about celery, cherry tomatoes, broccoli (lightly steamed or raw) or onions(full of Vitamin C). Cauliflower can also be cooked until soft and mashed in with potatoes and you can't taste it. Zucchini bread is good. I'd often throw a jar or two of baby food--pureed squash, carrots or sweet potatoes, especially into my baked goods like muffins and cakes, even if I was using a mix (you just reduce a bit of the other liquid ingredients.)
I understand all about allergies, as one of my children is intolerant to eggs, dairy, wheat, nuts, soy, rice, peas, fish, and more, so no, you can't just "force yourself" to eat these things. He'd throw up for literally hours at a time, and dry heave when there was nothing left. (20+ times a day was not uncommon!) So I totally get that. You may as well experiment a bit and see what your local markets have.
Oh, and even in a flat, you can grow a few veggies in a window box or plant pots inside when it's too cold out, if you have a good big window with some sun exposure. You might like to experiment with herbs and use them for flavoring in your cooking ventures.
Hope this is helpful!

My family including my mom are a lot more healthy/skinnier than me lol
I used to be really really skin to the point where you could see the bones in my face but I just started eating take out etc
When I was really skinny I was eating processed food etc and still didnt eat veg :P
I eat more veg now than I did back then.0 -

Hey Thanks for all the suggestions.
Around my area unfortunately I cant put anything out by the windows as around the area I live in it would get stolen.
We even had some locals try to steal the lead off the roof.
And about 5 months ago my house got broken into on my 18th birthday.
As for the milder tasting vegetables section...
I can eat Onions, Peppers, Carrots and Chillis. (Not actually sure whether or not a chilli is a vegetable)
But I cant stand the taste of brocolli I've tried it several different ways.
Never tried cherry tomatoes though so I may try them
I've never tried regular tomatoes either...
Well tell a lie I did once but that was back when I was little.
Will try them too.
I can eat grapes but for some reason I can't actually swallow them and I have to spit them out after I've chewed on one for a while. Same with oranges.
Hate apples.
Never tried raspberries or strawberries.
Can't eat pears or plums.
Haven't tried the rest of whats on that list either so will try them soon
Thanks again for the suggestions0 -

My dating life is amazing to be honest as I have a girlfriend of 2 and a half years that has been with me throughout a lot.
She can eat anything at all pretty much. Only thing she dislikes is tuna. And she still doesn't mind about me being fussy :P
But yeah I've found that whenever something is in a curry I can seem to eat it whereas I wouldn't if it was on its own.
I still can not stand mushrooms though0 -
Just finished insanity day 2 also.
I still had 10 minutes of the workout left but I could not physically push anymore.
Managed to complete 40 minutes though which Im proud of.
Can't wait for day 3!0 -
Doesn't really matter what you eat, as long as you're in a calorie deficit, whether it be vegetables or McDonalds.
Also, Insanity, from what I have been told, is more of a muscle building regime, as opposed to strict weight loss. Plus, I don't get how you expect to substitute food (vegetables and salads) for exercise. You need food to fuel the exercise...0 -
Insanity Asylum is the one for building muscles.
Insanity will burn off your fat and tone your body up but not to the point where you are bulking out with biceps etc
I personally just want to become lean but not too skinny as being 6 ft 5 I'd look lanky and out of place.
And what do you mean substitute vegetables and salad?
I'm still eating just not as much.
To give you a scale of how much I've changed already.
Before:
I would probably eat two chicken burgers meals and another single burger all from the takeaway etc
And probably have something in the morning too.
Now:
I have been eating weetabix in the morning with no sugar
A tuna sandwich or a meatball sub from subway in the afternoon for lunch
On the night I will mostly either have mash and chicken drummers or potato wedges/waffles with chicken or fish
Tonight though I did cheat a little and had a pack of crisps and the leftover tuna from the sandwich I was making for tomorrow.
Soon:
I will be eating weetabix in the morning
Tuna sandwich/chicken sandwich in the afternoon with a pack of crisps or not...
And on the night will most likely be mash and carrots or another vegetable with peas and fish/chicken (Fresh)0 -
I am not trying to be rude or anything, but I do feel like this is above and beyond just being picky. Have you spoken with your doctor about your physical aversion/reaction to certain foods? I wonder if there is something a little more underlying going on. Or maybe it's just because I only really dislike one certain vegetable (baby corn), so I can't imagine disliking/not giving so many yummy foods a chance!0

Yes he said that I'm allergic to most stuff as I told him how I come out in rashes when eating certain bits.
I have actually tried a lot but cant seem to keep it down etc
some things though like carrots I love
I'm trying a lot more now though as theres a few things I havent tried as of yet.0 -

To build muscle, you need to eat a surplus of calories. Whilst weight training and eating a deficit in calories, you're going to hold onto already existing lean muscle, whilst just shedding fat. Which will result in a slower weight loss, but a more defined figure.
If your goal was to just lose weight, you could probably find something better than Insanity to help you.
Also, you said you can't afford it. If you go to PirateBay or some other torrents sites, you can get it for free.0 -
Another thing you could try mate, is naked smoothies. They are really nice to drink and they have all sorts of fruit and vegetables in them. The Green Machine one is the best imo...it looks disgusting but trust me...they are really good! Just an idea being as you don't like many veg. With these smoothies...you can't even taste that they've got vegetables in them.

Ah yes, I did see that you have allergies, too. Sorry! I actually went through the whole thread and just skipped over the less informational posts. LOL. Either way, I do hope you're able to expand your food horizons!!0 -
Saying "fix it" is not pointless. It's another choice you have to make. If you are an adult, you have choices to make. Try something new. Try it again. Try it prepared a different way. But stop asking for advice and then telling people that you can't do it because you're fussy. Realize that you choose not to do it because you're fussy.It is when you vomit whenever you eat something you don't like.
Like ive stated several times before I am trying to change.
So saying fix it is kinda pointless as I've already started making better choices.
And I don't know about you but around where we live to buy packaged food its like £1.
To buy fresh food its at a minimum £6.
You're telling us that, at 18 years old, you already have medical issues stemming from a poor diet. You can fix them or make excuses due to your self-imposed limitations. It's your choice.
THIS
Jeez, thank you.0 -
Time to grow up and eat your vegetables. They are a necessary part of a healthy diet. There are hundreds of vegetables to choose from. They will not all make you vomit.
This!0 -
have you ever tried to juice? I wasn't sure I would like it but it was good when I tried it. I put in some kale, spinach, apples, carrots, and a packet of sweet n low and some ice. I liked it. Didn't even taste like vegies. You just need to basicly take a multivitamin and eat the recommended calories while exercising. You can still lose weight without eating vegies but maybe you could try sneaking them in here and there. Humans are omnivores.. we need both so we can get a rounded supply of vitamins and minerals.0

If all you are going to do is quote other peoples posts and then complain... leave.
Read that whole conversation. I already counteracted every argument she made.0
