Question:

I don't really like vegetables too much. But I do like fruit. Is this healthy enough?

I'm a vegetarian but I don't really like vegetables. I eat about a half a cup of raw carrots and about 2-3 stalks of celery per day though. I also eat about 1/2 cup of blueberries with breakfast, about a 1/4 cup of dried cranberries or raisins as a snack, lettuce on my soyburgers, and perhaps a banana and an apple. Protein comes from cottage cheese, yogurt, milk on my 'grape nuts' cereal, and chick peas.
Since I eat fruits, should I really force myself to eat things like broccoli, spinach etc which I don't particularly care for? Am I getting enough nutrients?


Answers:

they say that veg is better than fruit in terms of like minerals, bt fruit offers more of anti oxidents bt things like broccoli offer substances that can help prevent u gettin cancer. however ur diet seems healthy enough as long as u get all the nutrients. maybe u cud up ur intake of veg by eatin/drinkin soup, or how bout things like mashed potato with bit of carrot mixed in sounds gross bt i love it! especially if u add cheese or milk to it, or how about roastin veg, such as roasted parsnip mmmmmmm delicious! i mean ur eatin fruit n some veg which is good, bt veg offers things which cannot be found in fruit and can help u be even more healthy.
u cam also get protein from nuts, n they also offer antioxidents, and walnuts provide omega 3 which u cud be lackin from eatin no fish. make sure u get some carbs tho from bread as well, u still need to balance out all the food groups, n exercie to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
bt all in all ur doin a pretty good job, keep up the good work!
