No Veggies for me!!!

Well, hm. There's carrots and sweet potatoes and beets and red cabbage and red/yellow/orange peppers.

Corn is a grain, not a vegetable.

Try a new one every week, you're sure to find something you like.

Oh I hope you change your mind and learn to eat greens.....they are so important if fighting illness!

I highly recommend you try to learn to eat all types of veggies - it's one thing to say there's a few you don't like, but to rule out all green vegetables is another thing! They say it's important to eat a rainbow of veggies every week, which includes the green ones! You can "hide" them in food - ex. making a fruit smoothie with spinach added - it's green but you can't taste the spinach. I also mix spinach in eggs. You can add spinach to lasagna or meatloaf - all kinds of things. There are even cookbooks that are about disguising veggies in food - one's by Jerry's Seinfeld's wife - you might look into it.

Give foods a new try - cook/prepare them in different ways. I don't like iceberg lettuce, but spinach is another thing! Yum! Preparation can make all the difference. Salads don't have to be bland or boring - try some baby greens with various veggies and add things like black or garbanzo beans, some feta cheese, the protein of your choice, sprouts, some sunflower seeds - all kinds of interesting things to include. I didn't used to like salads or a ton of veggies, but the more I ate them the more my tastebuds adapted.

Here's an article about the importance of green leafy veggies: http://postharvest.ucdavis.edu/datastorefiles/234-104.pdf

Watch those juices/fusions...full of sugars.

And what about sneaking veggies into your meals??? Like...I make a smoothie every single morning and I add about 1/4-1/2 a cup of baby spinach to it. Yeah it makes the thing green and people gawk at me, but I can't taste it one bit.

Or what about pureed soups? Asparagus, carrot, squash, mushroom...there are so many!

Or what about adding pureed vegetables into some other foods you like? There is a woman who came out with a cookbook a year or two back that focused just on this because her kids hated vegetables and refused to eat them.

Good luck!

I hate veggies to (and yes I am OLD):bigsmile:
But this week I have been stir frying (using a spray) and I can not get enough of them: Celery, bok choy, spinach, cabbage, carrots, bean sprouts, mushrooms, today I am adding green beans to the mix, I haven't had those in a long time. What I did also was to cut them up small and served it with some rice.
Try to mix it up and find what you like.
Good luck,
Karen

Learn to love them. There are literally thousands of varieties of vegetables eaten across the globe. Saying that you don't like any green ones is really limiting yourself.

Funny, I live with a grown man who hates them, and it does not matter what I try, he will not go to the "Lite" But he is still healthy. There are alternatives. V* is a great option especially the low sodium and the V8 fusion comes in a Lite version so the calories are not high. There are many newer foods coming out where veggies are being thrown in and disguised so that folks like you dont know they are there. I get a lot of bang for the buck by using a blender and changing the texture. Some of it is a texture thing and some of it is a smell issue. Get on the web and do some research on recipes that are high in vitamins low in green veggies... you'll find stuff.

why dont you take a supplement? also ive heard of shakeology which offers alot of veggies in 1 shake..its by beachbody.

I say just force yoruself to eat them several times and you'll develop a taste. Once upon a time I didn't like goat cheese, but I forced myself to eat some and now it's amongst my favorite foods. Same with certain types of beer, olives, etc.

:drinker:
What about making a Green Smoothie? If you add some fruit to some veggies in a good powered blender you can sneak both fruit AND greens at the same time! Trust me the natural sugars from the fruit overpower the veggies. Yoplait has prepackaged packets to make smoothies in the freezer section of many stores. They tast GREAT. Then just add a BIG handful of spinach or other grean leafy thing in there and it is wonderful. Try looking at recipes at rawfamily . com :-) My 2 year old LOVES her smoothies. If she can do it so can you!

In the past year, I made fruit/vegetable juices in my blender. My favorite recipe is: 1/2 granny smith apple, a handful of spinach, 1/2 stalk of celery, and a carrot. I use Pom Fusion as a base to blend everything, but any fruit juice will do. Experiment and find somethink you like. DRINK your veggies! Fresh is best.

GARLIC!!! If you like it that is makes a lot of veggies taste better. Never ate green vegetables, but started marinating my asparagus in garlic and olive oil, baked for 20 minutes at 450 and parmsean in the last 5 minutes... and now I cannot get enough. Years ago, I was doing WW and I wnated to have somthing low calorie I really liked on the table for Thanksgiving. Now, I am asked to make it every year. Oh, and it works on the foreman grill too.
