A British woman has not had fruits or vegetables in 22 years and has been living \u201chealthy\u201d by consuming only chicken nuggets. Along with chicken nuggets, this woman\u2019s diet is based on fries and potato chips. Despite consuming such a diet, she claims that she is completely healthy. Summer Monro is 25 years of age and is suffering from Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). Even the thought of eating a fruit or vegetable is enough to make Monro gag. \u201cI can\u2019t remember the last time I ate a fruit or vegetable,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019d say it was when I was about 3.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s not like this woman has not made any efforts to eat plant-based food. \u201cI tried to eat some apple but I physically can\u2019t,\u201d claims Monro. \u201cIt\u2019s not that I don\u2019t want to try. It just makes me feel sick, and there\u2019s a part of my brain that physically won\u2019t let me do it.\u201d Monro was even once offered \u00a31,000 by her grandfather to eat a single pea. But her phobia is so strong that she had to turn down this offer. \u201cI just can\u2019t see myself changing,\u201d she reflects on her situation. \u201cI like the smell of food but if I try to eat it, it makes me physically sick. As soon as it touches my lips, I can\u2019t do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Summer Monro\u2019s Everyday Diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, all Summer Monro eats to survive is chicken nuggets and fries. The woman explained that she skips breakfast and for lunch, she eats French fries. Her dinner, every single day, contains 6 to 8 nuggets with a side of fries. The most surprising part is that Monro is in great shape and claims that she does not even consume any vitamins or supplements. \u201cA lot of people say they\u2019re surprised that I\u2019m never ill. I\u2019m also a very upbeat, happy person and people don\u2019t understand how I\u2019ve got so much energy,\u201d she says. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t affect me physically. I don\u2019t feel lethargic or anything and I\u2019ve had blood tests but they\u2019re all fine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beginning Of The Phobia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n
Doctors seem puzzled by Monro\u2019s situation. They have deduced that she is completely \u201cfine\u201d because she is getting the required protein from the chicken. The patient thinks that her phobia was initiated back when she was 3 years old. At that time, she was forced to eat mashed potatoes against her will. The patient has tried therapies to beat the disorder, but nothing seems to work. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely something to do with the texture. The things I do eat are crispy, which is the opposite to mashed potato,\u201d she thinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite a supportive partner and a \u201cgood health\u201d Monro expresses her desire to be able to eat more exciting foods. \u201cI\u2019m really bored, I don\u2019t get excited to eat,\u201d says the patient. \u201cIt affects me mentally, especially when I go to restaurants, and I sit with nothing. We went out for my sister\u2019s birthday and I sat and didn\u2019t eat and it made me feel [like] crap.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
