I very much dislike raw veggies but will sometimes force myself to eat a salad because it's the only on-plan restaurant option or because I need to watch my calories but am hungry.
I will eat some veggies grilled or roasted, including brussels sprouts, asparagus, zucchini, and broccoli. I dislike almost all steamed veggies unless they are drowning in butter (and then they are just a vehicle for the butter). I sometimes will eat stir-fried Asian-style veggies, which are tolerable to me.
The truth is, I don't LOVE veggies. I like some "ok." I force myself to eat more than I want to simply because I know they're good for me, they're low calorie, and they're filling.
I was even a vegetarian for about 10 years (vegan for 4). I experimented with veggies in almost every way known to man.
Don't love 'em. But I have learned to tolerate them and like a few. Sometimes that's all we can ask for.
Couldn't have said it better myself. This diet, and I'm only 4 days in, will be a HUGE struggle for me if I can't get in the vegetables, apparently. How can I make the veggies taste better?Originally Posted by banananutmuffin
I'll be the odd man out and say that I still don't really love veggies (but I like fruit even less, so maybe I am strange).I very much dislike raw veggies but will sometimes force myself to eat a salad because it's the only on-plan restaurant option or because I need to watch my calories but am hungry.
