Veggies do not. It only took me 40 years to figure that out.

How to eat more vegetables
It made me
 "Allows me to eat more but not rack up a lot of calories."
How I did it: I don't like feeling empty, so when I started counting calories on SparkPeople.com was when I got serious about veggies. It's a little hard because I can't eat leafy veggies, but I can do broccoli, squashes, carrots, peppers, tomatoes, etc. The best thing I did was start to buy a lot of frozen veggies and bring them for lunch with rice or rice/barley mix. Easy and fast. You don't even pre-cook because if you nuke them they cook at that time.

Healthy and Moral
How I did it: I decided, after much thought and soul searching, that I was officially ready to begin adjusting to life as a vegetarian. I stopped eating fried foods, chicken and red meat. Then I stopped eating lamb, pork and other poultries. With the exception of seafood, which I refuse to stop eating, I have stopped eating meat altogether.I have been a pseudo-vegetarian most of my life, but I have been mostly a fruit and grains person.

How I did it: Well, at the dinner table at my house, there's always the options of veggies. I used to ignore them a lot. Now, I always take a couple of them, no matter if I really love the taste or not. I just know that it's good for you, that it makes me feel healthy, and makes a meal full of vitamins~ I like a lot more veggies now, including spinach and broccoli, both of which I used to hate.

How I did it: My personal trainer's assistant is the 'nutrition' part of the sessions. She's been very helpful in monitoring and tweaking my eating plan. Because starches/carbs are mostly off-limits (oh dear sweet bread, where have you gone?) I'm eating much more veggies. This is good all around. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I already eat quite a lot of vegetables, but felt I needed to eat more. So every time I have a main meal, I now make a salad or stir-fry some veggies to have with it. I also snack on them with dip sometimes. Read how I did it…

Carrot juice

I’ve discovered carrot juice…yum. I dislike raw veggies more than cooked. But I have a juicer and found that I can drink my carrots! Just one more way to get the numbers in. Okay, there’s no fiber in juice, but a ton of vitamin C and a lot of other good stuff!

I already eat tons of fruit and a bit of vegetables. I’m definitely not a ‘ketchup is a vegetable’ or ‘corn is my primary veggie’ type. I really like my veggies. Butternut squash, brussel sprouts, peppers, mushrooms, cauliflower are all yummy. But I’d like to eat at least as much vegetables in a day as I eat fruit. More, More!

Eating Better!
4 months ago
I am living with my mother again, who is striving to lose a few pounds, be healthier, etc. Because of this not only am I eating more veggies, but eating wiser in general. Even if the foods are more carb filled or slightly fatty, they are homemade without nearly as many preservatives and we take care to add more reasonable foods to the table to round our meals out. The meat I am eating is fresh, as well as most of the vegetables. I think I am eating out of the freezer at least 75% less than before. In a month and a week I have lost at least 10lb’s and more than anything else… I feel so much better about myself.
I don’t yet think that I will say I’ve completed this goal yet because I think I can do better. I can eat more vegetables on my own because I want to, and learn to shop better for in seasonal fruits and veggies. I need to think smarter not harder!

Since starting to count calories
4 months ago
I feel I’ve done this, especially since veggies hardly have any calories so you can eat a TON of them and still not make much of a dent in your daily total. So I’ve been buying bags of frozen and popping them a container with rice for lunch. Yummy. Plus I’m taking carrot sticks sometimes, too.
Good intentions
