Vegetable 0 Almost all Fruit intolerant

dv8njoe Posts: 4 Joined: 2003/11/24	2003/12/03, 08:37 PM I know this is going to sound wierd, but ever since I've been little, I never eaten veggies. I get a gag reflex going when I attempt to eat one or accidently bite into one. And when it comes to fruit, the only ones I eat are Bananas, apples, oranges, and some juices here and there. I want to eat healthy, but my choices are limited because of the "phobia" or whatever you call it. Can anyone help me? Like does hypnosis work to get over the fear of veggies? Is there supplements or something that would give me all the stuff I am missing from the veggies? Thnx!

I mean no one liked to eat their greens when they were young, but to actually develop a gag reflex when trying to consume vegetables? Well unless you are actually allergic to them, it is most likely a mental thing. I would just bite the bullet and teach your body and brain that veggies are good for you. You obviously taught yourself not to like them, so you will have to un-teach yourself. Start by eating maybe on veggie a day, then work your way up to a dish and then entire meals until your body adapts. If you are not getting any veggies at all you should be taking multi-vitamins to compensate. -------------- - Its never about how much you can lift, or how many reps you do. Its just about doing it, and doing it right. - If your hungry all the time, your not eating enough. And anyways, being hungry sucks. ~Brad~

My advice is to find a few ones that you can est and go from there that is what she has done since she met me. -------------- LIFT HEAVY! BECOME STRONG, LIKE BULL!

But much like your wife I too gag and feel like chucking if I bite into lettuce. Does anyone know about if there are hypnotists that can cure phobia or whatever it is I suffer from? lol
