Vegetables? Eww Yuk

Onions for the most part.

That's a pretty impressive list you've actually tried! I'm now curious which ones do you like?

Just include foods you like, then. Your diet will be more sustainable that way.

I was a really picky eater as a child; the only vegetable I would eat was potato (mashed or as chips). As I have grown older, I have begun to be able to eat almost anything, although I still don't like beetroot, celery and brussell sprouts.

I hate to be that person, but have you tried any of those roasted, marinated, caramelized? The difference in taste is amazing.

My ex was like that, I hated going out to eat with her because she was so picky she always wanted them to make her something not even close to being on the menu. Embarrassing...

On the plus side, that allows for sweet potatoes and carrots (Vitamin A), broccoli and tomatoes (Vitamin C), spinach and garbanzos (iron), lentils and avocados (potassium), green peas and mushrooms (Vitamins B1/B2)... The key diet plan is eating fewer calories than you burn which these also allow.

I think you should be just fine with these.

I used to only like a few vegetables. Fortunately, with my change in eating, my tastes changed. Now the only healthy thing I don't like is mushrooms.

This!

I love my veges, and salads, and fruit. Love love love them. And after seeing this I am so grateful that I do. It would be incredibly hard to have so many hated foods. But then again if I had a few more maybe I wouldn't be in this mess in the first place :laugh:

Should of had a V8! lol seriously I don't like veggies or fruit either. I drink a glass of V8 Vfusion everyday and I eat the motts healthy harvest flavored applesauce to get my fruit in.
The veggies/fruits I will eat are as followed:
green beans
carrots
corn
onions
tomatoes
potatoes
spinach
bell peppers
beans (pinto, kidney, refried)
bananas
apples
pears
celery
black olives
avocado
pumpkin
peas

I love most vegetables, but the only ones I don't like are eggplant and zucchini. It's more the texture for me, than taste.

What about squash and broccoli? Not all hope is lost!

Do you like juice? You can drink your veggies in the form of fresh juice. The more fruit juice in the mix, the better it tastes. If you can drink orange juice, you can drink carrot orange juice with a few greens in there no problem.

Are we just talking about vegetables? Because there are quite a few fruits listed up there. I have more fruit I can't stand than vegetables, but I've actually aquired a taste for certain foods by eating them enough in small doses.

I think your error is in expecting to like them. You have been allowed to think (by your parents, I guess) that liking a food is relevant.

it's an error borne of not having any famines when they were growing up to teach them that having food at all is a bonus, and liking it is completely off the charts super double bonus.

When we raise children to eat a food, we offer it 10 times. At the 10th time the child will have started to get used to the mouth feel, gotten over any 'ick' reactions he might have had, (ick reactions are psychological and happen to teenaged girls who are developing affectations in an attempt to look 'cute', also. They are not physiological and they are not relevant to survival. They are only able to survive in an environment where survival itself is already guaranteed.)

So anyway, choose the vegetables you DO like, write a list of them, and every week buy one more vegetable, and try it ten times. I don't mean that silly 'teeniest bite with the tips of the teeth' gobshyte I've seen teenagers do. I mean chuck a whole mouthful in, think of England and eat it as fast as you can, and swallow it.

you do that ten times and by the 10th time you will have worked out all of your difficulties and gotten over your dislike. Remember: it's 100% psychological and your parents let you get away with that. Or, to put it another way, you were spoiled. If you can 'unspoil' yourself by the time you have children you can save them from your problem, which is that having limited yourself in terms of what food you will eat, you've cut out all the non-fattening ones and are left only with the fattening ones.

Hated brussel sprouts as a kid until last year, then my friend made them for me roasted in the oven with bacon... I then tried different variations until I came to love them steamed and plain.

Basically weening myself from decadent to basic got me in to a more diverse veggie love.
