Discover Your ‘Gateway Vegetable’ To Start Eating Healthier

Discover Your ‘Gateway Vegetable’ To Start Eating Healthier

Healthy eating and weight loss requires vegetables. There’s no way around it. Some of us would rather fill our plates with meat and bread. If you discover a “gateway vegetable” you’ll start eating them more often.

Nerd Fitness suggests finding one vegetable to introduce into your diet if you’re a vegetable hater:

In my mind, all vegetables were disgusting, but the reality was that I hadn’t really tried many different kinds. Instead I tried a few and just assumed they were all bad.

So, for starters: stop saying you hate all vegetables. Instead: you simply haven’t found a vegetable that you LIKE yet.

I started trying teeny tiny bits of vegetables. If I went out to dinner with friends, I would ask to try some veggies off of their plate. Once I got over the idea, I would order a new vegetable each visit and give it a shot.

Once you find that one vegetable you like, you can branch out from there. It’s a way of changing a small eating habit and recognising that you don’t have to stick to your belief that you’ll never eat vegetables.

Preparation matters too: try grilling them instead of boiling or steaming.
