The One Thing to Remember When Dealing with Picky Eaters — Food Media

Parents will go to extreme lengths to get picky eaters to eat something. When my boyfriend was a kid, for example, he would only eat pizza — nothing else would suffice — so his mom resorted to creating pizza-like dishes. Chicken Parm suddenly became “pizza chicken,” and it was finally OK for him to eat.

Sound familiar? Trying to feed a picky eater feels like a never-ending, thankless task. You can do everything “right” and still end up with a kid who won’t touch anything on his plate. So, what are you supposed to do? Kitchn has covered a lot of different strategies over the years, including this smart vacation tip, recipes ideas that have helped, and throwing a peer pressure party.

But the smartest thing I’ve heard recently comes from a recent episode of the Didn’t I Just Feed You podcast, that our very own Associate Food Editor Meghan Splawn runs with her friend (and Kitchn contributor!) Stacie Billis. They’ve dedicated three episodes of their new podcast to talking picky eaters, and in the first episode (listen here!) and there’s a pretty small but important reminder for struggling parents.

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
