How to eat vegetables when you don't like them: healthy eating when you hate vegetables.
Vegetables are one of the rare foods that are universally recognized as healthy, no matter the diet. They have a vast amount of health benefits and should always have a spot on our plate. Problem is, a lot of people don’t actually enjoy them. They may hate the taste, the texture, or have no idea how to cook them. Thankfully, there are a few ways to still eat healthy when you don’t like vegetables.

Wondering how to like vegetables? First of all, it’s important to remember that there are so many different vegetables out there- there’s probably one you like, or at the very least tolerate. Chances are you haven’t tried a lot of them for a long time and you’re just basing this off of distant childhood memories. Start by trying “commonly liked” vegetables such as carrots, green beans, cucumbers, broccoli, avocados, or tomatoes (yes the last ones are technically fruit but they are eaten as veggies), which aren’t as bitter. If you find a few vegetables that you do like, hold on to them and have them often! If you don’t, don’t give up on them just yet.
Wondering what to do if you don't like vegetables?
This video will give you some hacks to make vegetables taste good, and ways to sneak veggies into your food. It will also give you some tips on how to eat healthy when you hate vegetables, such as where to find your nutrients from other sources.
Finally, this video will give you a few tips to help you maximize your vegetable intake even when you don’t like them, such as meal prepping, buying frozen and canned veggies, and more!

And i also have a fast metabolism and would stay skinny even if i only ate junkfood for a month straight. 😅 but normally i eat regular food (not healthy or unhealthy), just because you don’t eat vegetables doesn’t mean you only eat junkfood.

    I'm the exact same way. Any veg or fruit I try I gag. I can do corn and potatoes. I think it's a processed thing because I love the flavors of fruits like grape, but I can't eat an actual grape. However if I can tolerate onions ,even enjoy them , if they are cooked properly. Also small cooked pieces of peppers. Some fruits in pies also. So it seems I can't eat any unprocessed fruit or vegetable. Sorry for the long thing I just never heard from someone like me who gets almost sick from trying to eat fruit or veg.

    I think it's because your body is too used to eating crap. If I go a long time without candy, I feel physically ill when I eat it (a lot of it) again, but if I gradually eat it my body doesn't reject it. You have to do the same with fruits and veg. What do you eat then btw? I can't even imagine lol

It’s also okay to feel a certain way about the way your body looks, but to remember to be gentle and patient through the process. Changing yourself takes strength and it’s not easy what you are doing. Remember that your body is worthy of love. your arms carry heavy things and hug those you love. Your legs walk you to your favorite places, your stomach holds delicious food. Your face lets you see, breathe, speak etc. Learn to speak kindly and be appreciative of what you CAN do, while acknowledging your desire to do more.💗💕don’t change to “become deserving”; change because you deserve it.

    You do such great pieces! You are absolutely right about trying different veggies and that every small substitution can make a difference. I did the blood work on someone sadly suffering from cancer and who never ate anything but meat and chipped potatoes. Worked with a Nutritionist such as yourself. Those small changes added up to a massive differences in blood work after three months. So much so that it encouraged him to keep doing a bit more! His readings at six months were great. And yes, he had surgery, chemo ... And survived. I have the bitter gene (I am a Biochemist so I was tested). I also have a health issue which makes veggies difficult. So, the things which work for me ..... A chicken sandwich? Add watercress and a couple of slices of sweet pepper instead of chutneys or dressings. Mushrooms, onion, carrots minced finely and added to beef or turkey for meatballs and served in a simple freshly made Marinara (tomato) sauce. Ratatouille, or vegetable and bean chilli, or vegetable, lentil, and chick peas curries .... Which I can have with a little rice and my friend is happy to have as a side for his steak or chicken. Homemade soups like Cock-a-Leekie (Scottish broth of chicken, leeks, a little barley, and herbs), Minestrone, Mulligatawny (British creamy soup with a curry base and either veggie or chicken) to which I add pureed peppers, onion, and courgette. Fish pie .... I add sweetcorn, peas, celery, green beans to the fish and cover with Bechamel sauce. My mashed potato is always "cut" with veggies ..... So potato, swede, carrot mashed ..... Or Colchannon - the wonderful Irish mash with cabbage and onion. mushrooms with my breakfast egg. However, no matter how I try, my little dog, Camille, sticks to her raw steak, cooked lamb, or scrambled egg and I cannot get any veggies into her!!!!

Personally, I find myself at a major loss of words, but I digress. I LOVE veggies and I LOVE water, two personal affinities that I used to think were just components of being a human being on Earth lol but apparently most of my fellow Americans don't see it the same way.
