A huge fraction of the population is overweight. You call that normal?

I am just sharing what worked for me in terms of making greens much more appealing and even very desirable.

Lots of interesting things happen when you switch to a natural diet and get much more in touch with true needs of your body again. Like you, I never understood why 'healthy' stuff didn't taste good. The fact is, healthy stuff DOES taste good, ONCE you get in touch with your body again. When you still eat grains and cooked food, have tons of stress (I don't say you have), do not get enough sleep (I don't say you don't), get not enough sunshine (I don't say you don't), etc.. you will not be in touch with your body and the body may have other priorities than making sure it gets enough greens, so it will be unappealing.

As a kid I was disgusted by eating brussel sprouts, so I can relate to what you mean, though I never had this with other vegetables.

This all said, it might very well be that there also is some psychological barrier now, because it has become such an issue for you. I am afraid I can't help you much there.

I wish you good luck. Making good choices are up to you. Personally, I would not force them in.
