my diet is sucking alot

Potatoes and Corn are high in carbohydrates! A large potato has 64g of carbs, and one cup of corn has 123g. Both without adding any butter or other things. Try adding in vegetables in places that you wouldn't normally expect them, in your sandwich add some lettuce or fresh spinach, they don't have much flavor so they're easy vegetables to start with. If you like crunchy and spicy things try radishes. As for fruits you can do what I do and pick out a new fruit every week, you may end up hating them but sometimes you might find one you like. Sometimes its just picking a different type of apple, and sometimes it's picking out fruits you've never heard of. I learned that I really dislike papaya, but guavas and lychees are amazing. Also decide on the food if you like the flavor or the texture. If you like the texture of an apple, asian pears and jicama are very close in texture. The best way to like new foods is by trying them, so be adventurous and try something you normally wouldn't!

Weight loss comes from a calorie deficit. Its fine if you like potatoes and corn. Just eat them within your calorie goals. Fruits and veggies are great ways to get lots of nutrition without a lot of calories and are important for good health. But for weight loss alone… it's all about calorie deficit.

If you want to try to incorporate more fruits and veggies into your diet… then you can try sneaking them in through soups. Adding lettuce or spinach to a sandwich is a great way to do it as well like a previous poster suggested. There are lots of ways to disguise veggies… parents do it all the time for kids. Try googling some ideas. Go into it slowly. Try adding just one veggie that's the least objectionable. Fruit is the same way. But in the meantime apples and watermelon are great start. And apples you can typically get year around.

The one and only requirement to lose weight is a calorie deficit. Some people find that a deficit is easier to maintain if they cut carbs, and some people don't. If you like potatoes and corn, then eat potatoes and corn...just make sure you're eating amounts that allow you to keep a calorie deficit.

Try saving calories in other ways...make sure that your potatoes are fresh, whole potatoes, not chips or instant mashed potatoes or frozen fries. Try using greek yogurt instead of mayo or sour cream in potato recipes. Try using lighter cheeses like riccota or cottage cheese, or try using smaller amounts of strongly flavored cheese like Asiago. Be careful with butter and oils.

Then try sneaking in some other veggies...like peas and carrots with your corn, broccoli and cheese in a baked potato, etc. Try lots of new things...winter squash is in season now, and it's sweet, delicious, low in calories, high in fiber and vitamins, and extremely easy to cook. Buttnernut, delicata, sweet dumpling, blue hubbard, acorn...even pumpkin can be baked and mashed and eaten as a side dish.

I eat nearly all carbs and I'm losing weight because I am a whole foods vegan.

Really? that's the reason? .... WRONG - it's because you are eating at an energy deficit.

I thought you only ate eggs. :huh:

Haha same!

Eat what you want. I eat rubbish. I don't have motivation to eat healthy. I am just letting myself get a flat stomach through losing weight. I'm 144lb. And continuing to get thinner.

It's difficult to tell what your motivation is for posing the issue in the first place. If what you want to hear is that it is okay to simply eat corn, potatoes, watermelon, and apples then you can find someone who will tell you that (eat those foods in moderation and at a calorie deficit and you'll be fine). Truthfully, however, that would be a pretty meager diet and one that I would grow bored with very quickly and find it easy to slip back into bad habits.

If this was my situation, I would start by trying to expand my repertoire by choosing foods similar in texture and taste. Some things you'll like and some you won't, but unless you're willing to experiment then you're stuck with the foods you are comfortable with. So

Potatoes (starchy, mashable, earthy tasting) - try baked rutabaga, slow simmered parsnips with carrots, baked turnips, baked sweet potatoes, other root vegetables. Most have the same or similar mouthfeel and taste profile as white potato.

Corn (juicy, slightly sweet) - try snap peas, red bell peppers, edamame (all kind of crisp and slightly sweet)

Watermelon (juicy, sweet) - most other melons have similar taste profiles and textures: honeydew, cantaloupe, but really … watermelon is pretty darn good and low on glycemic load.

Apples (juicy, sweet, firm texture) - apples are good too, a little higher in glycemic load but not bad at all. But if you like apples, you might very well like peaches, pears and apricots as well.

Be wary of the "Alot", they are a sneaky and treacherous foe. They cause weight gain every time...
