no veggie dieting

Question
i don't like raw veggies. i like cucumbers and pickles. other than that i only eat SOME cooked veggies. i don't like fish and i am a picky eater...as you can tell. what kinds of things  can i eat to be more healthy and lose weight, since obviously i don't eat salads? i can eat a little lettuce, but only with boiled eggs, cheese, ham sunflower seeds and some ranch. what do i do?

Answer
Cooked veggies are ok, better steamed if you can stomach it. I'm a picky eater too, so I'm in the same boat as you.

As far as healthier foods, I would include some nuts (walnuts, almonds, etc) in your nutrition as well as a wide variety of fruit. While I prefer my clients to get a 4:1 ratio of veggies to fruit for fat loss, we need to make sure you're getting enough vitamins and minerals so eat up on fruit but just make sure that you include a protein source along with it (nuts, fat free cottage cheese, plain fat free yogurt, natural PB, eggs).

To lose weight be sure to eat every 3 hrs of a protein and carb mix. Carbs coming from fruits or veggies mainly. Also, you didn't mention your exercise program but it should consist of some resistance training and cardio to optimize fat loss.
