[quote=Anonymous]Kudos to you OP for wanting to change your habits. Your current palate is used to lots of fat, sugar, and salt so when you eat healthier foods with reasonable amounts of fat, sugar, and salt they may taste bland to you. Baby steps. For starters, have a fruit bowl on the table. A few apples, pears, clementines, grapes cut into small bunches. Secondly, do you know how to cook? I would recommend getting the "America's Test Kitchen's Healthy Family Cookbook." You can probably find it at the library and start trying to cook a few basic dishes. (If you're a real newbie, pick a few basic techniques to learn like how to cook a chicken breast, steam vegetables, make pasta, rice, and salad vinaigrette.) Third, get your kids involved. There are great kid cookbooks like Mollie Katzan's. Again, you can find them at the library. Keep track on your calendar, e.g., give yourself a gold star for trying a new food, or incorporating vegetables/fruits into your meals.[/quote]
