    I don't like veg really and can go a week without eatting any... :( not good I know! today I'm gonna buy some carrots! yes I will dip them in ranch but atleast I'll be eatting some

    If it makes you feel any better I'm also terrible with eating veggies. The most common diet veg, I just don't like, e.g. lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, onions, courgette. Salad is totally undoable for me!

    I like bell peppers raw. Our deli sells a pack of four, usually in various colors. In addition to the salad at lunch, I have my bell pepper as an afternoon snack. Love it!

    I dont see to eat a lot of veggies either.. so I always throw some spinach in my smoothies.. and if you buy the bags of frozen spinach thats even better.. Even my son likes it.. No taste from the spinach at all and it makes your smoothie nice and thick.

    I'm having a hard time with this too! I love my fruits, but not my veggies necessarily. I try to make different salads and veggies to dip in hummus, but it gets old to me after about a week. I also pack a lot of leftovers from the night before which tend to be healthier these days, but not necessarily heavy in the veggies. I use a lot of frozen veggies for dinner, but they tend to get eaten by my husband or me (a good thing). I don't have a lot of time for lunch so I have to eat meals that I can fix quickly. I still feel that I am not getting enough veggies in my diet though. What to do?

    I do eat veggies at lunch, mainly baby carrots and celery. I like to use celery in place of crackers or bread for tuna/chicken salad. On rare occasion I also bring in frozen microwaveable veggies to go with lunch. Broccoli and cauliflower (if you like them) make good snacky veggies too. =)

    It's easy to get in LOTS of veggies if you simply replace your processed packaged snacks with raw veggies. I LOVE raw baby carrots, whole mushrooms, yellow peppers, grape tomatoes, cucumber, sliced large tomatoes, and cabbage. Of course, the shift is hard, but once you do they are addicting in a GOOD way, unlike sitting down with a bag of Doritos. I like dips and stuff too, but if you can, eat them plain! :)
    Ever since choosing to snack more often, almost entirely on veggies, I've felt sooo much happier and better, and guilt is gone from when I used to eat packages of crackers or chips. :)

    I bag all of my fruit and veg in little plastic bags for easy access. I just grab what I want for the day and go on!

    You seem to like sweet, so I would suggest carrots & snap peas. They are delicious and inexpensive. :)
    I also like cucumbers, cauliflower, and raw spinach. :)
