Being a picky eater can be a challenge when you’re trying to eat healthy.

At one time, I was a raw fooder (I ate primarily uncooked plant-based foods) and while I DID grow to like things I didn’t like before, I still had a very limited diet due to being a picky eater.

Some of the things I hate eating are mushrooms, cilantro, Thai coconut, zucchini (unless it’s zucchini bread) and most squashes.

This made for a very difficult raw food lifestyle because those are some of the foods that a lot of folks in the raw community ate with great pleasure.

Now, I’m no longer a raw fooder.

I eat cooked food, I eat meat (although I’m trying to cut back), I consume dairy products (though I’m considering weaning off of [most] of them once again) but I still want to eat healthy – this time from more of a clean eating approach.

I know how you feel because I, too, hated (most) vegetables even into my adult years.

But now there are vegetables that, at one time, I wouldn’t even look at, that I have grown to love.  There are still some that I won’t eat because I just don’t like them no matter what (the various squashes are a good example); but I sure eat more vegetables than I used to.

And with this article, I want to try and help you do the same.

One of the major challenges that many people face when trying to change their eating habits, is getting the family on board.
