Hi, I’m Hannah and I’m 18 years old. I’ve always struggled with having a varied diet and I believe it’s affecting my hair and my weight for sure. I’ve been underweight for a long time and not by choice. I wish I could eat more healthy foods but I simply don’t like the taste and my parents can’t understand that. I struggle with almost all fruit apart from apples and most vegetables apart from carrots, peas, sweetcorn + green beans. My parents cook a lot of all in one pots with rice, onions, peppers + chicken. I end up eating the chicken then picking through the rice trying to avoid eating the onion. It’s becoming a big problem and I’m due to move out to University soon. Any advice on how I can deal with this problem would be unbelievably helpful. Thankyou x

Sounds like you are lucky that you can eat some vegetables and fruits. Seems like your not getting enough to eat because of all the extra items going into the pot. You could be a super taster and your parents are trying to force you into eating things you probably will never learn to like including Onions and peppers. If you feel like your deficient you might want to get some blood tests to see how you are really doing health wise. You should be fine when you move to the University. Perhaps you need to have a very serious talk with your parents about a disorder you may have and they are not helping things by trying to force you into eating some foods you probably will never like. Your limited food choices should not keep you from having a long and healthy life. I just made it too 72.
