The only vegetable that I like is broccoli...

[kimbat06]

and cauliflower. Is this a bad thing? I know I am not getting enough veggies in, so lately I've been feeling weak and just "blah". I have about a cup of steamed broccoli (w/ butter) with my dinner. Every once in a while I will have a salad. Here is my typical menu:

Breakfast:
3-4 slices bacon
1-2 egg(s)

Snack:
String cheese

Lunch:
Hamburger patty w/ mustard

Dinner:
It depends... either chicken breast or some sort of red meat
1 cup steamed broccoli w/ butter (sometimes w/ parmasean cheese)

Obviously not enough veggies. I don't even think I am reaching the 20 mark for carbs in a day. I am very picky when it comes to veggies. Pretty much the only thing I eat is broccoli and cauliflower. No peppers or squash...

Help?

Have you tried saute'd radishes? Sautee'd bok choy with a tiny splash of soy sauce? Mushrooms cooked in real butter, or stuffed with cream cheese? Cucumbers are a vegetable, celery.. look over the lists and find some variety. You will feel better if you get more veggies. If you shred spinach, you can hide it in an omelette. Use a white cheese like muenster and you will think you are eating gourmet!

Mushrooms are good with eggs too, to help you get some carbs in the morning.

How about jicama? Snowpeas? Turnips cooked in the oven like fries?

How about a quiche for breakfast with a small amount of cut up veggies?

Check out Lindas LowCarb page - some ideas there that may help you try new things.

How about the cauliflower pizza

Keep trying stuff - sometimes our tastebuds change on Atkins.

Mashed turnips with lashings of butter?
Sliced peppers sautééd in butter?
Peppers stuffed with creamcheese and wrapped in bacon and baked or grilled?
Lasagne made using grilled aubergine (eggplant) slices as the pasta?
Shredded courgettes (zucchini) mixed with egg and fried in butter as 'hash browns'?
Any cooked veggies pureed and made into soups with cream and/or butter and water? You could add cooked chicken to these too.

I will tell ya...I am not a vegetable eater either. Some of them make me gag just at the thought of them. But you know what? I have been trying different veggies and preparing them in different ways and some of them are actually pretty darn good if they are prepared in the right way...not overcooked, not undercooked.

Some of my new veggies are celery which I used to hate blech!! I like it now, and will eat it raw even! I also started eating leeks, and those are really good too!

I'm just saying...you should try new things and some of the recipes here...you might be surprised how well something tastes on your palette after changing your eating habits!

Definitely try a few things - I have eaten veggies on this diet that I would have have before - your taste buds and your appetite changes!

Have a few little experiments - trust me you will find something you like that you would never have thought of! :0)

Your meals sound like mine--I am sure to get in a vitamin....and try my best to eat the vegies. I actually LIKE them but since they are so limited for now- I get "sick" of the same old ones (broc, spinich, sp squa, green b). Try your best...hide them as the other poster said...take your vitamins!

And GOOD LUCK. You are hardly eating anything! Amazing how your hunger is curved!! Isnt it???

Stealing your mini-siggie idea! SMART!

Best thing EVER! Slice zuccini, dip in egg and then dip in parmasan cheese and fry in butter! Oh girl, you're gonna love me!

Next best thing: Green beans (fresh) boiled in chicken broth with salt/pepper dash of garlic, and crumble up nitrate free bacon on them and boil til tender... that's another goodie.

Oh! how could I forget, mashed turnips. Also awesome with a little bacon crumbled in, but butter works too. You can cube and cook in microwave, and mash with a fork, it doesn't have to be a big production. Yummy!

Thanks so much everyone! I will definitely be trying all these
