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. I started eatin… Read how I did it…

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…

A vegan who dislikes vegetables

Not that uncommon, really.
Occasionally I’ll hide broccoli in something like risotto by chopping it incredibly finely, and from time to time I’ll make fruit smoothies and add in a floret or two, blending the crap out of it until I can’t see or taste any trace of it.
Greens, since their texture isn’t as objectionable as broccoli, I can handle in small doses with other stuff, but nonetheless can’t bring myself to buy yet, so I only get them incidentally in friends’ cooking. I think if/when I make some Indian pickle (achar) I can just smother that on anything I don’t like and cram some nutrition in me that way.

I now veggies every day...

usually a salad, because I can’t seem to get the hang of cooking them. Last night, I overcooked the broccoli and it was kinda mushy.
I have all but given up red meat, having only chicken or fish. I occasionally succumb to the siren song of a cheeseburger, but who doesn’t?
The next thing I need to do is quit the pastries. Doughnuts, you are my crack.
good progress

With the help of my loving boyfriend, I’ve been further encouraged to accomplish this particular goal. My desire to become a better cook has also helped to spur my veggie-eating habits. I’m still not great, but it is improving. I’ve also started eating organic a lot more so that I don’t have all of those pesticides and crap going into my body.

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

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!
