Day 14

Ok, friends. I need to start learning to like vegetables. I'm a-ok when it comes to fruit, aside from wicked bad gas...For these first 14 days I haven't been super worried about it because I haven't been crazy starving and I've been taking my daily multi-vitamin as a supplement.

I know veggies are probably a better choice than fruit because they have less sugars and starch and yumminess and whatnot. I just don't find many to be particularly enjoyable. I also don't like many of them raw so they become a whole lot more work. I like peas-a starchy green. I like non-soggy asparagus. I like skinny french green beans sauteed with garlic and a little olive oil. I eat salads but get bored quickly. I need sauces or dressings or dips or something to make the flavor more appealing. I'm fully aware that these things often add calories and fat. The decision then becomes about how many of my points I'm willing to sacrifice on vegetables. I'm also fairly decent at eating veggies when they are slightly hidden, like spinach in an omelette.

So my request for you, enormous reading public, is for tips. Think of what you would do to trick a small child into eating their veggies. Help!
