very very fussy eater help!

Hi all.
I'm a very fussy eater. I only eat plain pasta, no sauces at all. I dont eat soup. I tend to live off very plain foods and crisps etc. I am also unable to eat cheese as it makes me ill.
Please help

many thanks ej

A lot of it is a mindset. I'm a Vegan so cheese doesn't even come on my radar so don't understand the obsession personally. No one can force you to eat things but to get all your nutrients its good to have a wide range of foods. What sort of help do you want? All people can really say is for you to eat other things and try them more than once. Is this a hangover from childhood. My wife used to hate certain food because her mother used to kill them when cooking. She wouldn't even look at a mushroom. Now after all these years living with me she actually wants things with mushrooms in.

Try things push the boundaries. you cant dislike all sauces unless you have tasted every sauce in existence. Google is your friend find an ingredient you like google some recipes using it that contain things you wouldn't normally eat and try them. The thing is though you need to go with an open mind if you start on the premise 'I don't like this I'm going to hate it' you will. Give it a chance and more than one tasting. I dislike Peanut butter (I know that's Blasphemy on MFP) but I do and always have. However I buy it because my dogs have it in treats I make for them. The other day though I tasted some on my finger and thought 'Thats not so bad'. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat it obviously though my tastes have changed.

You just need to be open to change

Good luck

I used to be the fussiest eater on the planet. I don't know what happened but it just went away

I also only ate dry pasta and plain food. No sauce, my foods couldn't even touch on the plate, i'd often have my foods on different plates. i lived off plain chicken breast and basmati rice.

Then when i got into a long distance relationship and visited my partner at his parents house i would have to eat whatever they cooked for me. Lasagna was my worst nightmare but after being served it 5 times i no longer had to force it down, instead i cleaned my plate and enjoyed it. Basically the point of my story is i agree that it is all mindset and habits. If you are forced to break the habit you'll end up enjoying food a lot more. I eat anything and everything now, i'll try anything once. and if you don't like something, what's the worst that could happen?
