How do you get healthy food to actually taste good?

[Loony BoB]

The one thing I would advise without having more information is to do away with the sodas - If you can, I'd replace them with iced tea, coffee, or fresh fruit or vegetable juice, or if you have a jug of water in the fridge you can put some fresh fruit slices or sprigs of mint or something in there to flavour it. If you must drink soda, go for the full-sugar variety over anything with artificial sweeteners.

Kinda late to this show but I want to make sure this part doesn't get overlooked. Two cans of soda a day is just going to balls everything up no matter what you do. Diet or not. It's just pure bad. I mean, we try to have a large bottle of lemonade available for when we're hitting the drink for whatever reason. I also love having Coke with my Chinese food for some reason... but beyond that it's something I try to avoid and save for being a 'treat' on a hot day or something. There are months I'll go without and I feel way better for it.

I have had way more appreciation for food since I stopped keeping soda available in my fridge all through the year. And my health has probably shot through the roof while I'm at it, despite my continuing tendency to order in takeaways far more often than I should.

EDIT: Can't comment on the feeling weak thing as I don't really get the idea of those kind of targeted diets, I just do what I can to eat healthy food and be done with it. =x

In terms of diet, humans haven't evolved at all since the good old days, and when we were hunter-gatherers, our diet was also almost exclusively meat and fat. It's all gravy. Boring as buggery, though.

and I just want to say I've heard a lot of things to the contrary regarding this and I would therefore state that it's probably pure speculation. They may not have made use of grain/potatoes and dairy products back then, but they certainly would have had an easier time gathering from plants than from animals and I suspect this would have made up a large amount of their diet. Perhaps not most, but certainly a good chunk. Fruits, berries, nuts, fungi, sweet potatoes, carrots... stuff like that. Also, back then most of the meat was eaten raw. Have fun with that.
