Why do my daughter only want to eat pizza?!

hehe! Sounds like you have a picky eater on your hands (my cousin's the exact same, she only eats pizza, pasta, bread, and the occasional soup dish.) If i were you i'd try to get her to branch out, maybe add some veggies to pizza, or tofu. A pb&j can actually be pretty nutritious if its on whole wheat bread with a fresh fruit spread. Same with cereal, a good whole grain type with milk or soymilk. Your daughter may have or get mineral difficencys due to the lack of food variety. Try making her different foods, and trying to get her to eat them. if she ate a variety of food when she was younger theirs no reason she shouldn't eat a variety now. (unless theirs somesort of phobia, or something else going on.) good luck!

good cookbooks are:

Casein (Milk Protein) is very addicting, she may have a dependency on it. This is common though.

If your daughter lives with you I would highly recommend NOT buying pizza or any other junk food that you don't want your family to live on.

Also, whether she lives with your or not you can set a great example by having her over for a healthy meal. No, not take out, but some healthy cooked vegetables, some rice and beans and dessert should be something like fruit.

Even though she is an adult, it is not always easy to see what the affects of poor diet are - especially if she doesn't gain an ounce eating junk food. Try to make the environment she is in focused on healthy foods and exercise.

yeah, tell her she needs other things for her body to be healthy. it ain't really nutrious, eat the same thing all the time. if she still wants to eat pizza cool, but she's got to eat other stuff too. also, what kind of pizza? does she make it herself at least or is it delivery or the frozen junk you buy frozen like delissio or something like that? cuz made at home, with good ingridents and all ain't that bad, but still you gotta eat other things. so what if she's 19? adults can still take advice. peanut butter and jelly might be the only thing she thinks she can afford (at that age usually) but making fooding can be cheap too. waaaaay cheaper than alot of people think.

She may be an adult, but she still eats like a child. Pizza is not bad food, but can have too much fat depending on the toppings. I say that you should fill your house with good healthy food and ignore her pizza addiction. If she is hungry, she will eat what is available. If not, she can buy her own stuff. After all, adults prepare themselves for life through education, get a job, and start a family. it is time to stop babying her and let her go.

Mr. M on "pizza."

You shouldn't make her eat other food. I'd say yes if she was 7, but she's not. Advise her that it's really not healthy if that's all she's eating. Try making something similar to it... pasta like lasagna, spaghetti, etc.

it taste good to her and she probably doesn't really care about nutrition too much.

She's an adult, It's weird but it's her choice to make

No
