I really like vegetables.

I am not a big meat eater and don't really like vegetables. I like things like Pasta and whole wheat bread. How can I eat better if I don't like veggies?What can I do so my body doesn't get use to it?

Well, if its any consolation I love my vegies but also love my Pasta, and wholewheat bread and I lost over 120lb without ever giving up bread, pasta, rice or carbs in general and maintained it for three years. Furthermore, i had my band unfilled for a surgery which involved me having an ileostomy so now I am on a low residue diet which is based on WHITE bread, pasta and rice and even with an unfilled band I have not gained any weight at all. Truly, for most people calories in v calories out is the main determinant of weight loss even if we can argue all day about the health benefits of this diet vs that.

But we all need vegies - I love a packed of fresh spinach, wilted down with half a block of low fat cream cheese, a bit of nutmeg and some pinenuts as a pasta sauche - that's a good way to get in some vegies! tonight I varied that by adding a carton of pumpkin Soup. It was delish. That's vegies. Many pasta sauces can involve vegies, Soups are great, you can even make muffins with spinach, zucchini etc in them. I had a spinach and fetta muffin the other day when I was out, with some cream cheese as a spread, and a latte. Yum!
