If you'd like to eat more vegetables, then start trying lots of different ones, prepared in different ways. You are bound to find some that you enjoy eating. If you have been eating a lot of junk food and fried meats, unnatural foods in other words, you might need some time adjusting to new taste. For example, when I gave up sugar for a month, any fruit tasted intensely sweet. In other words, your body does know, when it's not ill and clogged up with unnatural foods.
By the way, people enjoy certain amount of bitter taste in their food, so it's not necessarily, that you are tasting something different. |
I don't eat any junk food. No fried foods. I don't even eat that much meat lately. I have fruits, berries, dried fruits, nuts, corn, pees, tomatoes, etc etc in my fridge. I rarely eat out and I NEVER eat at fast food restaurants. I don't ingest any sugar, other then from fruit. No soda, and no juice. I drink a gallon of water a day. So to respond to what you said, I eat very healthy.
I eat veggies ( and everything is organic), by preparing them a certain way, or else I can't eat them, but that usually means destroying the nutrients in them. My goal was to show that I'm not the only one like that. I'm also trying to figure out if I'm going against my own bodies wishes. Yeah, sure I can probably get used to it, but I've never seen something nature that is supposed to be good for you, that also tastes completely horrible. It's not a certain amount of bitter taste. I like bitter, I'm fine with that. It's when it's so bitter that I gag. Even when I don't eat any meat for awhile. I still have it. Everything I eat is intensified dramatically, be it sweet, sour, or bitter. Sure I used to drink soda, but I never got used to the taste of it either. Same with beer. I just drank it because everyone else was. And usually I waited till it was flat, or else I had a hard time drinking it. If I put a piece of mint gum to the tip of my tongue, it will start to burn and I can't hold it for longer then a few second, and my entire mouth will water. No matter how much I eat mint, it still has that effect. What would you have me do, kill my taste buds like everyone who drinks really hot liquids or spicy peppers? I can't drink hot liquids or eat hot foods. I can go on and on.
I wanna eat more veggies, but I'm just trying to figure out if my body is trying to tell me something, and that I'm not just going along for the ride of the vegan fad train.
