Been feeling off for a few months so asked doctor to do blood tests, they’ve come back low iron low vitamin d ( which everyone has at the mo ) and raised liver function, which is the one which is worrying me, I’ve googled and googled which is probably not the best idea !
I don’t drink or smoke ( never have ) so I can only put it down to the amount of crap I eat.
I have a real issue with food as it is, I’m vegetarian but now pretty much vegan as everytime I eat egg my 5 month old ( breastfed ) baby is really sick so I’ve cut them out, but I’m such a fussy eater and tend to eat a lot of rubbish! Chocolate, crisps, bread pasta etc hardly any veg no fruit you get the jist ! A lot of that is my safe food as I’m a huge emetophobic but now I’ve made my liver suffer in the process!
I do hardly any exercise prob about 3000 steps a day if that! And I am over weight by two stone so where do i start ? It sounds like I’m really thick but I don’t know how to change this !

Ask for a referral to a nutritionist.

Are there veg that you do like? Can you be more inventive with different ways of cooking them? E.g. if you like carrots, then honey roasted carrots and chickpeas, carrot and potato curry, raw carrots with humus. Or if you like peas, then a pea and mint risotto, macaroni peas (a pea purree instead of, or with, cheese), pea and chickpea soup...

Find one new recipe every week (or every couple of weeks) and keep increasing your repertoire.

If you eat cheese then make (or buy) cheese crisps. Make your own soda bread - very easy no yeast. Make your own flapjacks with nuts, seeds, chopped date and very little sugar/sweetener/honey.

Take one little step at a time until you get used to the new food. Swap crisps for a few walnuts or almonds.

Sneak veg into your favourite dishes. Eg a handful of spinach into bolognaise. Dip Doritos into humus. If you like humus already dip a carrot in. Small changes.

And just aim for 4000 steps. And drink plenty of water.

You can do this OP.

Stop the vegan/vegatarian diet we are meant to eat. Meat and fish if you don’t have any issues with these missing they are great but if you then change. More excise 3k of steps a day is way too little
