00:00Welcome back sunbro. We hope you all in great health and great money.
00:04Before we start, please at least subscribe so we can have little money for food and paying bills.
00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about picky eating in adults explained and how to fix it.
00:15You might avoid unfamiliar foods or skip meals if something smells, looks, or feels off even if
00:20you've had it before. 1. What you avoid. Bitter, sour, slimy, or lumpy foods are common turn-offs.
00:26Mixed foods or dishes where items touch can be uncomfortable too.
00:302. What you eat. You stick to comfort foods, toast, fries, grilled cheese, crackers,
00:36and usually tolerate salty or sweet flavors. 3. Childhood roots. Picky habits often start young,
00:42especially if meals were stressful or you had a bad experience like choking.
00:464. Sensitive senses. You may react strongly to smells, textures, or flavors, though research
00:51is still catching up. 5. Meal anxiety. Social meals can be stressful.
00:56You might worry there's nothing safe to eat and feel embarrassed when pressured.
01:006. Know your why. Change is easier if you're motivated,
01:03like setting a better example or easing tension with loved ones.
01:077. Know one-size-fix. Try kid-based tips, eat fewer snacks, track progress,
01:12and build up appetite before meals. 8. Skip the pressure. Don't force it at parties.
01:17Try new foods in calm settings with supportive people. 9. Start small. Pair new food with a favorite.
01:23Take a bite or two, no pressure to finish it. 10. Use favorites. Add cheese, sauce,
01:29or toppings you like to make new foods less intimidating. 11. Change prep style. Cooking
01:34affects taste. If you dislike it raw, try roasting, steaming, or sautéing. 12. Keep trying. You might
01:41need eight plus tries. Watch others eat it, cook it, or just taste and spit. Small steps count.
01:4713. Get help if needed. If you gag or struggle with texture, an occupational therapist can help you
01:52adjust. 14. When it's serious. If picky eating affects nutritional weight, it could be ARFID,
01:58a treatable eating disorder. Being a picky eater as an adult is more common than you think,
02:03and with small steps and the right support, change is absolutely possible.
