Ok, that might sound like a strange request but right now I am still struggling with eating right. I live on 2 or 3 foods. I try adding another one since variety is supposed to be good but all that happens is that I add it to my staple foods and live on that and eventually drop one of the first 2 or 3 and eat whatever the new addition is. I'm a vegetarian, a picky eater, and get depressed if I eat too much sugar. I'm picky enough that most things you might suggest are things I won't like. Anything with tomatoes, except enchaladas and one brand of canned vegetarian chili. Anything with mushrooms or olives. Anything with tomatoe sauce. No green peppers. I don't like any of those foods and can't handle eating them. There are more that I am probably forgetting to list. And I hate to cook. I hate taking time to eat. I don't sit down, just stand there with a yogurt and some fruit, or take my food to whereever it is in the living room I was before. Yet I really need to eat better. Advice? I know I have posted something sort of similar before but could really use your advice. Thanks. Back to top 1000Knives What Would Brian Boitano Do?

Takes a lot of time to learn (and sometimes to do,) but learn to cook, cook everything you eat yourself. You'll be forced to use many ingredients, some things that you probably never knew you were eating (onions is a great example of this, lots of people hate onions but onions flavor about everything you buy) and then have a wider array of foods in your diet. If you cook everything yourself, too, with a pan on the stove, it helps you control your diet better, as let's say you want lasagna. Instead of opening a can or box of frozen lasagna, you gotta actually make lasagna. Suddenly you don't want lasagna as much, and then you make real lasagna and savor it because of all the time it took to make. Also, if you reheat stuff, try reheating it in a pan, too. Instead of the microwave. Like if it's something with sauce, you can just throw it in a pan and heat it up like a can of soup. Tastes much better than reheating in the microwave. _________________ But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself.

For the wrap, just buy some salad mix at the store, add your favorite fruits/vegetables/dressing, and wrap in a tortilla. For a quesadilla, I like to stir-fry a variety of vegetables (zucchini and plantains are some of my favorites but I have strange food tastes lol), then put them inside a tortilla, fold it, and put it on a skillet for like 1-2min on each side (until it browns). It tastes even better if you coat the tortilla with butter, but makes it less healthy too lol. Both of these don't require much cooking time at all, the wrap takes me about 2min to make (I eat these for lunch a lot), the quesadillas closer to 7-10min. There's also a few really good frozen vegetable mixes at the store that I buy sometimes; there's one with pre-seasoned corn/black beans/bell peppers (red ones lol) that takes about 5min to cook on the stove, it's really good!

Vegetarianism isn't normal for human beings. I heard we were vegetarians by nature... We only started eating meat because the supply of vegetarian foods couldn't meet our requirements as population increased. There's an article below if you would like another source to go with that. Dr. T. Colin Campbell, professor emeritus at Cornell University and author of The China Study, explains that in fact, we only recently (historically speaking) began eating meat, and that the inclusion of meat in our diet came well after we became who we are today. He explains that "the birth of agriculture only started about 10,000 years ago at a time when it became considerably more convenient to herd animals. This is not nearly as long as the time [that] fashioned our basic biochemical functionality (at least tens of millions of years) and which functionality depends on the nutrient composition of plant-based foods."

The Woolly mammoth went extinct about 10,000 years ago, and human hunting is cited as playing a role. Of course, this means the mammoth would have been hunted for centuries before 10,000 years ago, meaning some humans, somewhere on the planet were eating meat before the birth of agriculture. French cave paintings from over 30,000 years ago depict humans hunting deer. Personally, I don't buy the natural vegetarian myth. Back to top
