How to love the foods you hate
How can you eat well when you hate veggies? That's a question many wannabe health nuts are asking themselves. You see, eating well would be easy if healthy things tasted like French fries, but unfortunately, that's not how things work. But the good news is that you can learn to like healthy things. I know because I did -- now I prefer fresh veggies to junk food any day of the week.

eDiets recently revealed five ways you can learn to love the foods you're not crazy about:
- Try them again. Growing up, I hated tomatoes. Now I love. Go figure. Your tastes change so don't be afraid to give something another try.
- Broaden your horizons. There are more vegetables than brussel sprouts and cauliflower, so if you don't like certain ones, go on the hunt for others that you might enjoy.
- Compromise. You might like full-fat dairy, but it's better for your waistline if you opt for skim. If you can't stand skim, find a middle ground, like a smaller glass of 1%. The same goes with all fat-rich foods.
- Eat foods that soak up flavour. Tofu and mushrooms are two good-for-you foods that take on whatever flavour you're cooking them with, making them as yummy as you want them to be.
- Cover it up. Still can't stand veggies? Find a favourite salad dressing, and enjoy them in conjunction. Hey, veggies with dressing is better than no veggies at all.
