Need major help I don't like much vedge and hate salads!!

Eat low glycemic index fruit, like berries. You can eat a ton of them for very little carbs and calories.They're best eaten by themselves for easiest digestion. I generally only eat starchy carbs on my heavy workout days. Have you tried pureeing veg and sneaking them into things? That's what I do for my fiance... shred things up, sneak them into meatballs or the like.

I rarely eat green veggie, or any vegetables for that matter. They taste like crap, i just supplement my diet with "greens" powder, multi vitamins, and well i do consume copious amounts of fruit.

A BIG THANK YOU!!!! you have made me feel so much more better, I was stressing that it was because I wasnt eating enough greens my weight loss came to a hault, I am just going to carry on the way I am and sneak in a few vedges if I can. I found I can eat a lot more veg if they are in stif frys with a low calorie sauce over the top. So maybe if I keep hiding them this way it will be better. I do love lots of fruit I just dont eat enough of it, so thats something to push myself into!!

I have dumbells york 20kg ones and have been strength training, done this for about 3 months, now trying Insanity but will keep the weight training mixed in also. I like to mix things up!!

From one English lass to another - you're very welcome! A lot of people try to complicate things. If you start stressing over when to eat food and not to eat food you cut so much out that you lose weight due to calories - but it's not realistic or sustainable (or necessary!).

Stir fries are fab. I get the big bags of basic veg at the supermarket - they are also great raw as a salad (I'm very lazy and just tip a tin of tuna over the top with a sprinkle of dried herbs).

As for fruit - I rarely eat it. I'm just not keen and always feel hungry and crave chocolate afterwards. I personally love veg so would rather have a big bowl of broccoli with a shake of soy sauce and sesame seeds on top. Or a lovely piece of chocolate!

And good work on the weights :flowerforyou:

I did start to eat broccoli but I found the more I ate it the more I started to dislike it again, I was literally gulping it down with out chewing to try and rid of the taste lol. But I will try it again as never tried it with soy sauce so that sounds good as will disguise the flavor more

p.s do you mind if I add you,

Don't use broccoli as your vegetable barometer! Broccoli in particular, but all of the brassicas, have glucosinolates that some people can taste, and others can't. It's genetic. Most people who can taste the particular glucosinolate compound in that vegetable hate the vegetable. If that's the case for you, you won't "grow out of it," it has nothing to do with your maturity level or openness to new foods, or anything else. Contrary to what your parents said, you won't learn to like it!

That said, in addition to the other suggestions on this thread, if you are interested in trying salads (most greens don't have that problem - though if you don't like broccoli, don't count on liking cabbage or kale, either...), be aware that there is a huge variety of flavors of greens most people are never exposed to.

I used to think I hated salads. I'm allergic to iceberg and romaine lettuce, which certainly had something to do with that, since that's most of what you'll find in stores and restaurants. But then I started an organic farm, and started growing lots of different types of lettuce and other greens. And, what surprised me, and many of our customers, is just how flavorful, and what a diversity of flavors, the available salad greens are if you look a little closer to the source. And, also, what a difference in flavor the difference in age of a couple hours vs. a week or two between harvest and consumption (most of the "fresh greens" in the grocery store spend about a week getting there, and another 4-7 days on the shelf before you buy them and put 'em in your fridge for a week...). Other fruits and veggies also benefit greatly with freshness.

So, you may want to consider looking for a local farm or CSA that would let you sample right out of the fields. You may find you really like some veggies, even salads!

Not a veggie fan either but eat them in sauces ( tomato and mixed veg for pasta) and soups - nice disguise! I do eat a lot of different fruits. Often eat late at night, same as you. Still managed to drop 65 pounds over nearly a year and 3 pound in past fortnight on this site. Just try for healthy options where possible. Got to live in the real world. Good luck.
