The best strategy for many of these foods is to focus on the foods that you can have as a substitute, such as cakes, brownies, and ice cream. Another strategy for many of the hard raw vegetables is to cook the vegetables or cut them into smaller pieces. Cutting hard fruits, like apples and pears, into smaller pieces can help you enjoy those foods while in treatment.
