[QUOTE="luceeloo, post: 1243330, member: 78468"] I'm not a natural veg lover. I would never think "oooh, pass me that carrot", And I sort of believe that the body will seek out what it needs if we can control the compulsive nature of our minds to eat eat eat (we are a gluttonous race!). Some years ago, I started eating lots of spinach - I'd never touched the stuff before. Not long after that I found out I was anaemic. I still love spinach now, but never get the desire to eat a bag full like I used to. The only way I've really been able to up my veggie intake is to grow my own in my allotment. I guess it's a secret desire to be a bit self sufficient, my mind makes them taste better because I grew them, and it's a cheap way of bulking up what would otherwise be a diet of 85% chicken. (I love roast chicken to an absolute fault). I don't think that there's a problem with excluding any particular food group as long as you are healthy and feel healthy. If you can get your nutrients elsewhere, then that's no-one else's business. One of the few bonuses of being diabetic is that I could happily stop eating fruit. I only ate it because it was the "thing" to do. Always detested grapefruit (bag of devil's pee), didn't care much for oranges (bag of sugary battery acid), and found apples to be blah (gum shredding nasties). I eat berries, but then again, I never ate berries before. [/QUOTE]
