Vegetables!

An idea for anyone trying to add more fruits/vegetables into their diet...

You probably know of certain ones that you don't like at all. Instead of forcing yourself to eat those, try some vegetables that you've never eaten before. This way you don't have a negative preconceived notion, and you might even like it!

One that I like now? Parsnips! :wink:

Mmm parsnips. I love parsnips roasted in Honey + Mustard. Mmmmmm. :love1:

i wish i could handle fruits and veggies, my body has an intolerance for them. probably just my mind, because i love the taste but the texture causes my gag reflex to act up and puke.

how would you know sir? explain to me how i don't. there is such a thing as food intolerance. in a way more severe case, look at the jews who survived the holocaust, when they ate anything heavier than light soup, they puked because their bodies couldn't tolerate it. i stopped eating fruits and veges years ago and my body probably has built an intolerance for them. even if it is a mental intolerance for them. i tried so hard to aquaint(sp) my body with bananas and it just didn't work. i read about one person's theory/idea that if you starve yourself for 3 days then your body will accept the fruits and veges since it is a source of food and your body is experiencing starvation. never tried it, but sounds like a fair assumption.

Fruits and veggies ftw!

I seriously love like...all of them.

Good advice for those who have large enough selection of vegetables available. I've eaten practically the same set of vegetables all my life.

a banana and apple a day are my standards - great mid meals - yum

ofc main meals incorporate more stuff

I really don't like most vegetables.

If you really want to know if youre truley intolerant to fruits and vegetables then get a food intolerance test done, its a fecal test and it shows all the stomach enzymes that youre producing.

If you are intolerant to every single fruit and vegetable you would be a medical mystery as not all fruits and veggies use the same enzymes.

Oh and as someone who has tested positive for a food intolerance (red meat) it does not cause your 'gag reflex' to go off, its severe stomach cramping, diahorea, and in a small amount of cases vomiting and you can barely function properly for 24 hours.

Also, you cant just stop eating something and become intolerant to it, if that were the case then any new food you try from now on you should be intolerant to.

It sounds to me like youre just coming up with lame excuses not to eat healthy.

i was using the term intolerant loosely, don't have a cow dude. i know what i describe is not the correct terminology. excuse? you're hilarious dude, really. you think i'm some unhealthy fat-ass adding to the rate of obesity, now THAT is funny.

i just don't think it's worth puking to get them into my diet right now, maybe during track season, but that's it. i'm not intolerant to everything, i can handle apples. just takes getting used to, like changing from whole milk to skim milk on the spot. tasted weird as shit for a couple weeks, now whole milk takes weird to me and skim tastes great.
