  1. I know it sounds silly, but maybe try the cookbook Deceptively Delicious? The fruits and veggies you may not like, sometimes you can add them in here and there and get the benefits from them without having to eat them plain and not enjoying them. My old boss back in PA was like that. Constantly told to eat more fruits and veggies for his high cholesterol and hated salad, hated veggies, it sucked because we could never get him to eat right. LOL
