hey sounds like me. I didn't like veggies until I was like 25.
veggies are gross, bitter!

I also started liking veggies when I eat more vegetarian chinese and
thai.

You know sooner or later u have to eat veggies.
So for starters, u could try cooked spinach or cauliflower. Eat plenty
of fibre, like brown rice, wholewheat stuff etc... etc...
Some Chinese mock pork are made of mushroom's stem. I swear some are
frigteningly real ! (beware though, many contains food additives like
msg). what bout steamed cabbage roll? if u cook soup, just add some
frozen chopped spinach, and it wont taste like veggie, practically
tasteless. Mixture of mayo and sliced carrots eaten with fries are
delicious.

There are 'healthy junk food & soda' from organic stores u could try
for your cravings.
There's even high quality vegetable extract in liquid or powder form.

I think I'm addicted to food - correction - carbs and junk food. I've
never been a good eater my whole life. I hate most vegetables! I
really do wish I liked veggies and liked healthy food. Has there been
a study done about people's taste buds being different?? cause I don't
get it! healthy food tastes gross! is it just me and the way I taste
things? or is that really how they taste?? I have to choke it down
half the time and it's really an awful experience. Sometimes I think
I'm just crazy and to suck it up and force myself to eat it and I'll
get use to it but that only lasts for so long and then I can't take it
anymore. Back to eating the same junk/crap as usual. I feel so
guilty and hopeless when this happens and I don't know what to do. I
feel hopeless. I feel I have no control. I've tried starving myself
before because I hate food so much but that doesn't last long at
all...it's almost as if as soon as I think about starving myself, I go
to the cupboard and start eating.....can anybody help me? or am I a
lost cause?

I wonder how old you are. I didn't like veggies much before I turned 22 and
started eating chinese. I looked down on anything that wasn't meat. Salad
dressings disgusted me. Veggies were boring. Of course back then all my
veggies came out of cans. They were gross. I don't eat that stuff today.

Once I started eating chinese (essentially stir fried fresh veggies) I loved
the stuff. I eventually grew to like tofu. These days I love greens which
are basically boiled leaves. I like creamy dressings. It took years for me
change those attitudes, but don't get me wrong the changes haven't been for
the good. I'm heavier now than ever. And it's a bad thing to learn to like
salad dressings. They're full of saturated fats and calories.

So maybe our taste buds change with time. My guess is that a lot of it is
mental. On the other hand veggies without soy sauce or creamy dressings are
inedible to me. I'll eat them that way sometimes, but it's not enjoyable.- Hide quoted text -
