Dieting when I like nothing healthy!!!

It's easy.....count calories....burn calories and it will make an impact on the scales. Spot reduction...good luck with that one.

It's all about the way you prepare things. Try seasoning things differently or cooking them differently. For getting more vegetables in your diet, you can always add them to soups or casseroles. Even if you're eating a cream based or cheese based soup you can get your nutrients from hiding those veggies in there. Do you like smoothies? Try making one with yogurt or even some frozen yogurt and adding in some fruit or carrots. Trust me, you won't even taste them! Another option, if the other ones aren't for you, is stopping by your local GNC or nutrition/whole foods store and asking about supplement or shake options, so you're able to get your daily nutrients.

If you're concerned about the fact that you don't like healthy foods and would like to, the best suggestion is to keep trying different things in different ways. There is also a difference to 'don't like' and 'can't eat because it tastes completely disgusting'.

I've never liked cucumber or celery, but I acknowledged that they weren't 'foul' and put them in salads where they were mixed in with other stuff, and my dressing. I won't say that I now love cucumber or celery, but they are no longer in my 'don't like' category, and are in the 'indifferent' category.

I also really disliked broccoli but my husband loves it so we often have it with meals. Out of sheer awkwardness he starting putting a single small piece of the stuff on my plate, and out of stubbornness, I'd eat it. Then one day what I got was just a piece of broccoli stalk and lo, and behold, I like the stalk, but not the flowers.

Spinach I hate cooked, and consider adult leaves benign, but I love baby spinach raw.

My point is if you want to eat a broader range of things don't write something off just because you've tried it once. Give it a few shots, or have it in combination with something else, and you never known what you might find out.

If you don't care what you're eating, then just go with the calorie deficit, which you will lose under.

As others have said (and you have not responded to)...it makes no difference what you eat if your goal is to lose weight. Just eat under your total daily requirement and you will lose. Setup your Macros correctly and you will lose the belly fat.

Health is another issues. Eating crap will not give you the nutrients you need, but will NOT effect your weight (just long term health).

Healthy food doesn't always taste good. If your serious about losing weight you will suck it up.

Are you wanting to eat vegetables to help you lose weight? If so, others have already mentioned IIFYM. But are you wanting to eat vegetables for nutrition? This is for kids, but any adult who refuses to eat vegetables probably eats like a kid anyway so maybe try some of these recipes? http://www.thesneakychef.com/

I have a hard time being too sympathetic to adults who won’t eat vegetables because they don’t “like them”. Unless you have some disordered eating issue or like my step son who is autistic and it’s more of a texture issue than taste, as an adult you just learn to eat it. I’m not a huge clean eating fanatic, I eat more junk then I should, but I eat my veggies. You don’t have to eat vegetables to lose weight, but it’s important to have a healthy balanced diet and if yours doesn’t consist of any vegetables and since I can’t see your diary I’m going to have to assume you don’t have a healthy diet.

I do wish you luck in finding something you like, just keep trying different things over and over and maybe you will get used to it.

I don't like tomatoes so pasta sauce is kinda a no go...

OK, here is where you lose me.

Eating a tomato off the vine is a whole different taste, texture EVERYTHING from eating tomato sauce. There is barely even a remote connection to the tastes of each.

Is the issue that you don't like certain foods or that you've never had them prepared correctly?

I eat spinach a lot. I do not like just plain old spinach -- cooked or not. If it's cooked, it has to be mixed in something -- olive oil and goat or feta cheese, in a casserole, whatever. As a salad, it's all about the dressing (my favorite is Newman's Own Olive Oil and Vinegar).

I would eat an onion like I would eat an apple, but on salad or cooked in something else, it's a wonderful food.

So based on your "I don't like tomatoes so I won't eat spaghetti sauce" comment, my conclusion is you are not a picky eater so much as you are afraid to branch out and actually TRY things.

It DOES sound like you are much pickier than what is probably "typical", but I think you can still work that into a healthy lifestyle.

I don't like a lot of very common vegetables and fruits. I'll eat them, but they are just meh to me. This includes lettuce & apples. So many of my healthy eating friends eat a huge lettuce salad daily, and apples for snacks. Both things just kind of gag me and eating them day in and day out seems horrible to me.

However, I have discovered in the past few years that I love spinach greens (the leafy ones) and making a salad with spinach greens, chopped cucumbers, red onion, and a few nuts on top is awesome. Meanwhile if someone gave me a big salad of iceberg lettuce with raw tomato and crunchy croutons I couldn't gag that down.

I have also discovered that some of the time it's a texture thing. I don't like regular yogurt but Greek yogurt I love. I will eat lettuce much more if it's shredded. HATE cooked carrots and overcooked broccoli, but love both raw or steamed. Could it be possible that you're just eating the "wrong" veggies or have typically eaten them prepared in a way you dislike?

Vegetables are SO good for you...I'm sure you realize that already. But perhaps you could eat fairly healthy and lose weight by sticking with lean protein sources and whole grains. Do you like eggs? Fruit? Nuts? Oatmeal, couscous, brown rice?

If your goal is "weight loss" then just eat whatever you want as long as you stay within your allotted calories. You'll learn to like more things as time goes on.

I don't like tomatoes so pasta sauce is kinda a no go...

What about alfredo sauce? you can "hide veggies" in that.

I do like alfredo sauce... I will look into that... Thanks

What's not to like about butter, cream, and cheese?

I'm not a big veggie fan but easily half of what I eat every day is veggies because I know that's what will work for me. I don't eat them for the flavor, I eat them for the nutrition and because they will fill me up with fewer calories than something super delicious like Wendy's.
