You say you can't eat veggies at all, could you explain? Do you have a medical condition that makes it dangerous for you to eat vegetables? I've never heard of one that affects a person like that. If that's the case, your doctor should talk to you about supplements you need to take. On Atkins, you get many of your nutrients and fiber from vegetables.

If you just can't stand vegetables, that's another matter. You can develop a taste for veggies. I've been trying veggies that are on the Acceptable List that I never tried before. Also, some I tried before and didn't like, I'm finding I like now. When I ate them before, they were prepared badly. Like brussels sprouts--cut in half and sauteed lightly in butter, they're delicious!

Brussel sprouts get a bad rap for some reason. They are really good though.

Hello all

Hope you are all having a good Easter break...

To my question are the veggies really needed as i cant eat them at all and have not done so for many years apart from potato.

I have been on the Atkins induction now for almost 3 weeks and lost alot of pounds, first week was 10 pounds total now almost 28 pounds, mostly water weight i think as i am 6.6` started of at 330.4 pounds 23.1 STONE.

Now without the veggies i am mostly on chicken,beef,Fresh Ham,All steaks and making burgers, Eggs and cheese with 7 x 500ml bottles of water a day and multi vit tablet a day.

And i feel great more energy etc..

So am i missing out not having to eat the veggies ?

Cheers ALL..

If you can eat veggies but just don't really care for them, try steaming cauliflower and then mashing it up with butter and cream cheese. That really tastes a lot like mashed potatoes. Spaghetti squash is also good with butter and parm. When we get need a "carb" fix that's what we make for sides.

Aren't they good? I hated them my whole life until I was pregnant with my middle son, then for some reason I ate one and loved them after that. Green Giant now makes little single serving sizes of Brussel sprouts which I might look for next time I go to the store, since I'm the only one who will eat them in my family.

I did the cauliflower mash thing today and in the oven to toast the top and it was delicious.

Good luck with finding some veggies you like
