Your options are pretty limited. I would say you could substitute vegetables for fruit/berries. Why don't you eat fruit?

I think you're overthinking it.

If meat, nuts, fruits, and vegetables are "things you don't eat," and you're not willing to put forth some work to try new things and new ways of cooking things, then you're not going to make it very far in Paleo.

If you are willing, then start with the things you do eat that are Paleo-compliant. Form the basis of your diet around that, and find a recipe every week with a new food in it and try it, or a recipe that uses a food you're not keen on, but cooked a different way.

You can also "Paleoize" some foods you like. It's not recommended all the time, but it's a fairly easy way to try something new. My favorite example for this is spaghetti squash. Steam it or bake it, and shred the meat into a bowl and toss with butter/ghee and top with your favorite spaghetti sauce. That was actually one of the ways I started weaning my husband off of pasta. He love spaghetti squash spaghetti now. The big hazard with this one, though, is that "Paleoized" food won't meet the preconceptions you have for how something is supposed to taste/feel. If you can do it without expecting an exact replacement, though, then it's a pretty effective way to transition.

Then, of course, there's the tough-love approach -- suck it up, buttercup, and start trying stuff. This one's particularly useful if you're just resistant to trying new things. In which case, it's pretty much just a matter of "put your big boy panties on and try the damn thing," because frankly, you don't really know whether you like something if you're not willing to try it at least once.

Fruits are optional; eat a wide variety colourful vegetables instead. No need for meal plans developed by others; develop your own. Problem solved. (I limit fruit but I LOVE berries.)
