I love the spaghetti squash as well. I put a couple sprintz of spray butter and sprinkle it with truvia. It's a nockoff version of acorn squash filled with butter and brown sugar!

Also, tomatoes, they are heavy so you don't have to eat as much!

I didn't see tomato on my list of approved foods. I'm going to recheck. I eat alot of cucumbers!!

Hi guys! I'm MRC thread snooping, looking for information for my daughter, who wants to lose 10-12 lbs. I'm doing Ideal Protein, and it's working well for me, but it's too expensive to have 2 of us doing it! Anyway, I'm not sure if the ingredients in the recipes I'm about to lead you to are allowed on your diet, but I was not a fan of veggies before starting IP. Now, after trying some of the recipes others before me have invented, I'm a huge fan! Check out "Fun with veggie purees!" under the IP threads, and once you make them and see how easy and delicious they are , maybe your creative juices will flow! Good luck!

We can have tomatoes but no cooked tomatoes only raw

I think that if you try the approved vegetables in different ways, you may find that you like veggies, just not the way they were being prepared. I thought I hated spinach until I went to one restaurant, tried sauteed spinach, and loved it. I asked the chef how he made it and he said he carmelized onions in olive oil, added garlic and then sauteed it down. Now, I cannot have cooked onions but love spinach now.

I find I like cooked veggies better than raw, but everyone is different. If you have a Ruby Tuesday near you, they have a lot of different veggies as sides, including spagehtti squash, so you can try it there.

I have a friend who is just like this with her veggies. She was told a secret about cauliflower! If you steam it, add some sprays of I Can't Believe it's Not Butter, chives, pepper and mash it up...its just like eating MASHED POTATOES. Yum. Melt some cheese in it for cheesy potatoes.
Also. PEPPERS: Green, Red, Orange.........this does NOT make a difference what-so-ever. Every one of those peppers are exactly the same in nutritional value.
