I am an extremely picky eater. If I make myself eat foods I hate, will I start to like them eventually? Any other ideas?

1 Answer

Answer :

Trying foods that you didn’t like before may help you get used to them. It won’t make you fall in love with them, but over time you’ll be able to eat a wider variety of foods. The main thing is to keep a positive attitude when you’re trying new things, and to think of everything as new. For example, you may have had eggplant before, but this is a new chef on a new day, so it’s different. And you might like it this way. If you don’t, don’t worry about it. Just eat what you like, and don’t eat what you don’t like.
