Fiancé won't eat anything healthy

You just understand her that what it affects to eat some fast food. it very much influence our body to waste some parts. you also tell her that how to fresh, improve our body to eat some vegetables and some fruits. i think she will be understand.

I am guy similar to your fiancée.From my childhood,I used to be so choosy and eat only things which are attractive and tasty.But guess what,When I moved out to college,I stayed in a hostel.There the canteen food was so terrible to such an extent that I started eating whatever I get when I came home for my holidays.Still then,I used to prefer to tasty foods.Then recently I came to know about the importance of eating healthy foods and now even though I am choosy,I make sure that I add all the healthy foods to my diet added with regular exercise to take out the effects of all those junk foods.Try that to your fiancée.

Sound like he is a spoiled brag during his childhood, but now he is old enough to make up his own mind without you worry too much about him. let's him be his own man and decide what to eat or not, instead of you nagging at him to eat fruit and veggies. He is old enough at 24 years old to decide on his own diet without anyone constantly telling him what to do. You worry too much and unnecessarily.

Maybe showing him the bad effects of not eating healthy foods will make him realize the importance of vegetables. My wife is also choosy when it comes to vegetables. She is health conscious and takes lot of vitamins and also avoids smoking and other bad vices. She just has this struggle with other vegetables. What I do is to always remind her that she should be a good example to our future kids when it comes to eating healthy foods. I think that this worked for us because I noticed that she is already trying to eat the vegetables that she is avoiding before. She may not be consuming it fully, but it is a good start nonetheless :)

My husband had the same problem before marriage and after marriage. But I made it my mission to change that factor because I cared about him and I did not want him to end up with diseases later on in life. So what I use to do was set up romantic atmosphere and cook for him all the things that he disliked but in a very fancy way, be very sexy and romantic and feed him myself. Trust me he could not say No, because he knew what he will miss if he did so. Then it became a ritual almost every weekend. After which its been 8 months now that my husband eats everything including veggies that he hated since childhood, to fruits! So try this sexy tactic out! Trust me it works! Best of luck!

it's just how he is, like the old saying goes, you cannot teach and old dog new tricks, he is used to it because of his upbringing and only he can change, i know you are concerned about his health but he has to want to do it for himself and not be made to do it because someone else doesn't like his way of eating, i do agree that the foods he eats are unhealthy but it seems that he is happy with what he eats, maybe he will see sense when his health starts to backfire, but only he can decide if he wants to do this, maybe you should cook something healthier and see if he eats it, failing that i really don't know what you can do to help, he seems content with the way he does things, but you could drop it to him gently that he may be young now but when he gets older this will catch up with him and his health will get worse

I have a friend very similar, lives on pies, hotdogs and things, maybe it's a man thing, it doesn't seem to be easy to change a persons eating habits, I love junk food but at least I try to eat halthy as well.

I was in a similar relationship with a guy that was raised to think that the only vegetables in the world were potatoes, green beans and corn. All starch, all the time! LOL I don't eat like that. I started out with salads (he DOES like ranch dressing, unlike your fiancé, but you just need to find a dressing your guy will eat)... when he was in the service, he'd eat from a salad bar occasionally and would only choose lettuce and top it with cheese, bacon bits and croutons, skipping the rest of the veggies. I started making a mixed salad with lettuce, cucumber, carrot, celery, green onion and/or radishes... easy things. He gradually started to enjoy the combination of more flavors and crunch. I'd serve the salad with a grilled steak or some meat that he really likes and he was more willing to try the salad. I never serve canned veggies because I find them mushy and tasteless. I have a steamer and he actually really likes steamed cauliflower and broccoli (he had never even tasted them before he met me). I was able to isolate the veggies he TRULY does not like and won't eat -- mushrooms and tomatoes, mainly. By not using these, he seems much more willing to try various dishes. Since your fiancé likes cheese so much, can you coax him into trying some steamed veggies by topping them with some cheese sauce? There are lots of nice recipes for them and you can gradually cut back on how much cheese he has in relation to the vegetables. For fruit - will he drink smoothies or milkshakes? You can make these in a fairly healthy way and I'm thinking if he gets used to the taste of various fruits, he might be more adaptable to eating them as whole fruits and not in drinks. But if you can at least get him to drink smoothies or full-fruit juices, he'd be getting more of the benefits.

hi kelani try to get him to drink V8juice and some of t he other v8 blends as a lot of guys will drink these specially the fruit blends. does he like soup as you can get a lot of veggies in soups or how aboujt beef stew with good carrots, potatoes and o nion cooked in it as my hubby would wolf that down whereas just plain veggies he was not so good at eating. sneak the veggiers in make zuccini bread, pumkin bread, banana bread, carrot cake just be sneaky.

My brother is almost exactly like your fiance! He grew up in the same home I did but I make healthy choices and he does not. When we were kids I used to get mad because when mama would make tacos he would eat all the meat because he didn't like vegetables! I was like - it didn't mean he had to take all the meat! I always felt like we were punished because he didn't like veggies. He's grown now and has all sorts of health problems. But no one can tell him anything. It's really sad.. but we all have to make our own decision.

My husband was also spoiled, esp by his grandmother. BUT I think since she passed away he started to open up to more fruits and veggies and healthier alternatives, but of course there's always a ready supply of junk food in the house. It took me years for me to get him to eat veggies at mealtime, and salads. But before when we were first married he ate out so much and had to have a chocholate bar every day! Ick. So after a few years, and his grandmother started to lose her influence on him, he started to eat a bit more fruits/veggies - just a bit, but now as I look back I realised he's come a long ways. Also, as we get old our taste buds change, and some of the fatty stuff we ate when we were younger no longer appeals to us. I just kept feeding him healthy stuff and encouraging him, and trying to get the kids to eat as healthy as possible, the progress is slow, but in my opinion, slow progress is a lot better than no progress. Wishing you a lot of luck! :-)

Why don't you tell him the possible effects if he won't eat vegies? Theres nothing wrong with eating pizza and other comfort foods, but he has to balance it. It might also cause him sickness in the long run if he won't eat anything healthy.

hi, Kelani, i'm also worried about his health to be future. but if you wanna change his diet custom ,that really patient and method.my idea is you could go see a doctor with him , let doctor tell the danger of his diet, that easy persuade him, the key is the potential danger lack of friut or vegetables. and you could download some pictures of patient leads by lacking of vitamins,have a try, wish it works.

What about blue cheese? would he eat vegetables with a blue cheese dip or dressing? And it may be as much the texture as the taste. I've know people who have disorders in the autism spectrum that have not liked certain foods because of the texture as much if not more than the taste. It was probably easier to given in than fight with him when he was a kid. And if I am not mistaken there has even been a disorder called picky eater syndrome for people just like him. It might take a lot of time and a doctor or nutritionist stepping and helping him to see the dangers of his ways, but he may never be able to change, but hopefully you guys can come up with a compromise.
