NO FRUITS/VEGETABLES!!!!!!

CAKEWALK25

NO SCURVY.... I drink orange juice, apple juice, grape juice, and etc and I take vitamins..........

If you like the juice, why don't you eat the fruit?

Ok, so I sympathise about not liking fruit or veg, I hate most veg and can tolerate some fruit. So, I find a way around it. I have smoothies with banana, strawberries, blueberries (or other berries), low fat yoghurt or milk and some honey to sweeten. If you like apples, then use apples with a few different types of berries so the taste is predominantly apple to start with.

As for veg, I love home made soups, but maybe try a tomato based sauce on your pasta. If you blend the veg into the sauce, you will never notice it. Then maybe start adding some small pieces of the veg (e.g. carrots) to the sauce.

I don't believe in forcing yourself to eat things you don't like, I have tried it have fallen into worse eating habits because of it. However, trying small amounts at a time and hiding them at first will help.

I work with 2 guys who are like you. Both a normal supposedly healthy weight, but one eats nothing but chips and crisps (with the odd apple thrown in) and the other wont even eat the apples.

I do find it strange, since I thought I was fussy, but be proud that you're trying to make a change and be healthier. After a while you will notice a difference in the way you feel.

Fruits and vegetables are delicious. And there are so many of them that you can guarantee there will be something that you like.
They're juicy and sweet and they don't make you feel horrible and greasy afterwards; they make you feel refreshed and healthy.
Don't do the juicing thing, just start by trying to incorporate you 5 a day into your diet and find fruit and veg that you like so that you can get enthusiastic about healthy foods rather than thinking it is all horrible. Because it's not.

Cut back on the junk food and the carbs while trying to add fruit and veg in. Maybe make stir fry with noodles and things instead of your normal meals.

I juice a lot and think it's amazing. But if you won't eat the vegetables you won't like the vegetable juice. You'd probably like the fresh fruit juice by you'd need to add a LOT of fruit to mask the green vegetables and that is not a healthy way to juice. It took me a while to like the vegetable juice and I love eating veggies.

You might want to try the other suggestions of just trying new things, blending veggies up in various pasta sauces, or even smoothies. A little at a time and you'll develop a taste for it.

For example, I've never liked mushrooms but there are so many wonderful recipes that use mushrooms and there are health benefits so I'm learning to like them a little at time. So suck it up and eat your veggies

Its possible.....The problem is the taste..... I do like apples and corn...that about it.....

How do you know what you like if you have never eaten fruits and veggies all throughout your life. This reminds me of my ex....

Me. Do you like chick peas ?
He: No...
Me: what don't you like about them ?
He: I don't know, I never tried them......

Double post

As a mom, when I'm introducing new foods to my kids at first I only ask them to lick it and see what that tastes like. The next step is to take one bite and describe how it tastes (sweet, sour, bitter, salty) and if it is crunchy, chewy, ect... This makes the new food more "normal" to them and makes them more willing to eat it.
In their lunches I will send 3 baby carrots and ask them to eat one of them. Sometimes they only eat one, sometimes they don't eat any, and sometimes they eat all 3.

The goal is to introduce new foods with no pressure. Once a food has been tasted enough times (like 12 or so) usually a person will start eating it (not always but generally). Maybe something like this would work for you? If you take one bite and really think about the tastes and textures you are experiencing. I would pressure yourself to eat lots of anything you don't like. Just a little each day and maybe your tastes will slowly change so you can enjoy what you are eating. Then you will naturally want more.

Excellent post!! AND wonderful mother as well!!

I really like fruits and vegetables, and even was vegetarian for about 8 years when I was younger. But I have known many persons who would really benefit from this process you have described.

Oh I hear this a lot, from kids and adults!

I have not eaten fruits or vegetables ever! I know sounds crazy.....I have been this way all my life, nor do I eat meats (except chicken) or seafood. I mostly eat breads/pasta and junk food.......... So now I want to try juicing, can anyone tell me anything about juicing? I am nervous because if the taste is not good, I may not drink it..................

Keep doing what you're doing. You're still alive so it's obviously working.
