What can you eat when you completely hate veggies?

Could you learn to like vegetables and fruit? Or at least tolerate them a little. Maybe broker a peace treaty there?

Short of that, you could just eat a lot of meat, fish and dairy, I guess. Go keto.

Try some raw veggies with a low fat sour cream or yogurt based dip. Cook them with herbs and seasoning. Roasted veggies are delicious--carrots, sweet potatoes, squash. Try new foods and you'll be surprised how your tastebuds will end up changing! I can't imagine trying to lose weight without a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in my fridge. Best wishes!

Now you have a baby to nourish you really should give fruit and veg another try. Unless you want your baby to grow up with inadequate nutrition and a loathing of healthy food.

Maybe start with veggies and dip, veggies in pasta sauces. Fruit is much easier to eat really.

I hate some veg, but there are so many to choose from it is easy to avoid the few that make me gag. Carrots are disgusting. Ha!

Veggies + olive oil + salt and pepper + oven = absolute heaven.

It blows my mind that people live their lives without loving fruits and vegetables . I eat both every single day.

300g fresh local asparagus, with 2 tsp olive oil and salt and pepper, baked at 400*F for 25 minutes is our new go-to.

One thing I love that is less health conscious is diced potatoes, brussels sprouts, carrots, onions, broccoli - smothered in olive oil and slow baked until everything is tender and golden. My boyfriend never knew he liked brussels sprouts until he tries them baked.

Saying you hate fruit and veggies just doesn't make sense to me.

On par with saying you don't like seafood.

There are countless flavours, textures, smells, colours in the fruit and veggie group.

Try different things, cooked in different ways, different sauces or dips.

Me, I hate watermelon, I don't like the texture, same reason I dislike pavlova, but watermelon has next to no similarity to a banana.

I like a Sicilian caponata with fennel (Sicilian version of ratatouille); it's great at room temperature or cold, so I'll make a pot and take some to work with me every day. The recipe I use is similar to this one:

Whatever you already like to eat, just less of it than you were eating before.

This.

You don't put any context around your vegetable and fruit hate so I can't help you there. Is it a texture thing? Are there some you like better than others? You can still lose weight on a McDonald's and Twinkies diet; just watch your portions.

To get what you have been missing from your vegetables and fruit, take a pregnancy multivitamin daily. It wouldn't hurt to take some benefibre in your tea either.

i love them but can get sick of them easily and my BF is very picky and doenst want to eat then so ive found ways to use them by grinding them up and putting them in stuff. it depends on what recipies and foods you like.

I use a food processor and grind up onions garlic mushrooms cellery zuccini egg plant and squash and cook it in spagetti sause with meat, it comes out wonderfuly thick and flavorful. can do an awesome lazanna this way. ground veg for meatloafs and burgers are great too. also if you like salads like tuna or chicken salad potato annd macaroni, I add ground carrots cellery bell peppers onions. try adding ground veg to sauses too. msuhroom and onion gravey, for a white sause try onions and califlour. if you like mashed potatos making them with some cook califlower mashed into it, you hardly notice it. my BF HATES califlower and even he was ok with that. avacados can be subbstitued for a fat in some recipies also.

salsas are great, you can grind up many varieties of fresh veg, I like doing one with tomatos ,onions garlic, multipule types of peppers, celery , some herbs like cilantro, parsely, mabee some corn and olives. you can make fruit salsas too.

cakes and breads are great too with ground veg, zuccinni and carrot breads and cakes. see my post on the mug cakes for chocolate banana cake. I was also using a juicer , make a juice and then use the pulp in the cakes , you can bake ground fruit into pancakes also. applesause is a good substitue for sugar in some baking. often on boxes of cake mix you will see it in the alternative prep directions.

use lots of herbs, and greens like herbs. I often add a bit of spinich and kale is good along with parsely in many dishes, soups and caseroles, stuffings, spinach and kale can be very versitile like that. I make an omlete with spinach shallots galic mushroms and ham that is very flavorful.

hope this gives you food for thought

What veggies have you tried, and how were they prepared? My husband hated veggies until I started cooking for him, but his parents used a lot of canned veggies, or served them very plain (no salt and pepper or butter), so he always thought he hated veggies . Honestly I'm sure there are some things that you won't like no matter how they are prepared, but what have you tried? You want to set a good example for your child - seeing parents willing to try new things is important to encourage kids to be willing to try new foods.

That said, you may never be a fruit or veggie lover. That's okay too, there are plenty of nutrient dense non-veggie foods to be had (meat, eggs, fish, dairy, etc). I would encourage you to try some different veggies tho, and experiment with the preparation- that can make all the difference (boiled Brussels sprouts? Meh. Brussels sprouts browned in bacon drippings? Yowza. Steamed asparagus? Not bad. Roasted asparagus? Heaven on earth.)

Weight loss is about calories not type of food. So eat what you like, log it and stick to your calorie goal just like everyone else. If you post what your calorie goal is then people can give you ideas of foods that will fit that goal.

Nutrition is about type of food. Vegetables and fruits provide important nutrients as well as fiber. Suck it up and eat some for your health. The variety of vegetables and fruits is enormous. What have you tried? What bothers you? Flavor, texture?
Try them in different forms. Roasted or grilled, batter dipped, raw, in soups, stews, stir fries, on pizza, sandwiches, tacos. Pureed or chopped and added to sauces, smoothies, or ground meat for meatballs or meatloaf.

I still don't eat my veggies and I'm losing weight. I'm also probably losing out on important vitamins and such but eating vegetables isn't necessary to lose weight.

My husband dislikes most veggies, this stems from his mother and her dislike.
However in the decade+ I've been with him he And I have found he doesn't hate them all equally.
He may not like salad, raw tomatoes and sweet potato
But will eat corn , cabbage, fine beans
Mushrooms.
He will eat tomato based sauces into which I grate zucchini and carrots so they disappear.
Meatballs or meatloaf I add in grated veggies.
Peppers and onions in fajitas
Roast dinners he likes them witha squeeze of lemon.
Curried sauces are great at hiding veg flavour.
Fruits in baked goods like pies or crumbles just go easy on the sugar
If I make crepes , banana and a smear of Nutella is his favourite.
