Q: Extemely Bad Eating Habits - fatty foods for taste
asked by: cgermon on November 7th, 2007

Hi, I am new here, I love what you do to help people - keep up the good work.

I am a 23 year old male, I weigh about 78kg and I am about 180cm's tall so my weight and height are very normal for my age which is fine.

My problem is the food I eat tends to just about all be very fatty food and I am worried about what effects this is going to have on my body.

The reason I eat so much fatty food, )mainly take-aways such as burger king, mcdonalds etc) is because I don't like the taste of most healthy foods and it is so much easier to get fast food!

I am so fussy with my food even when i have take away food it is very plain and really only the fatty bits left in the burger. eg. I will get a cheese burger from mcdonalds and I will have the pickles, onion and mustard removed so that all is left is the meat, cheese and ketchup. I am pretty much like this with all foods and have a serious problem with being able to try foods i'm not used to, I immediately in my head think that I won't like the food!

Luckily I seemed to have had a fast motabolism most of my life and have always been slim, and I do a lot of excercize and play a lot of spot so I guess i'm relatively physically fit, but I am very worried about my nutrition and what health problems may be in store for me in the years to come.

I would love to enjoy regular healthy foods but I just don't.

Does anyone have some advice on how to cure this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Chris

Maybe try some interesting salads with dressings on them so they taste a little sugar-y? Like spinach tastes great with raspberries or strawberries or cranberries. And you can add walnuts, sunflower seeds, etc. Try salads at good restaurants to get some ideas and then copy them at home.

If you like burgers and thing that are fatting.. You can subsitute them for less fatting things that taste good.. It will take some time on your behalf. Like buy some turkey burger and low fat buns and you can still have french fries. Just bake them in the overn instead of frying. You don't have to give up on food you like just make some changes and you woon't feel do deprived.. If you want to eat healthy it is just going to take time. You have to make a decision not to go through the fast food chains and instead go home and make it.
