Do you at least take vitamins, to help give your body all that its missing from the lack of fruit and veggies?
And maybe this is too personal, but where do you get your fiber from? (AKA, do you get constipated often?) I find that without the fiber in fruits/veg, I have more *serious* problems, if you know what I mean... so I have to take at least some fiber supplements on a regular basis, if I'm not eating properly.
I'm also a big meat/potato lover, but it helps being married to a veggie-friendly husband. He makes a couple of salads a week with our dinner, and I try to have a few fruits a week (along with pure fruit juice--not the crappy kind with added sugar, corn syrup, etc--dunno if that helps, but at least I get Vit C). It's not much, but it's better than nothing... it was much worse when I was single.
Cross-posted with Jess... but she reminded me of the Vit D capsules/oil that Icelanders have survived on for centuries. They never had much variation in their diet anyway, but in the dead of a very dark and long winter... yeah, they would have actually died without having all the vitamins they got from their cod liver oil. You said you don't like fish, but taking capsules full of cod liver oil aren't so bad. It's seriously amazing... I don't know why I haven't done it sooner, myself.
