I never liked veggies, but I can eat them if they are smothered in spaghetti
sauce and grated cheese, -or mayo, or Thousand Island dressing .

I dislike almost all the vegetables in their raw state bothers my
stomach. But since I can't imagine a weight-loss control program
without them, I tried to figure "new" ways to incorporate them to my
diet. For a few weeks I put vegetables in a blender with some water,
which gave some kind of very thick, dense and heavy vegetable juice-
but got sick and tired of it..

My third option, and it seems like a winner, is soup... I cook either
rice, kidney beans, lentils, or chicken and add that to frozen
vegetables in water (carrots, brocoli, green and yellow greans), with
some herbs, black pepper, and salt. I understand that I'm losing some
vitamins in the process by boiling the veggies.

I counted that such a soup gives me about 300 calories. It fills me up
to the point that my stomach does not have any more room for several
minutes.

I would like to know suggestions on what spices and herbs to use with
what. I want to avoid any non-natural food or wheat-based. Thanks.
