Vegetables for non-vegetables people

I never really was a big vegetables person. But veggies are necessary not only for their nutrients but to fill you up and absorb water.

-"chunky" vegetables have water and fiber which tend to fill you up.
-alkaline vegetables really help balance your system
-leafy greens can be a whole lot better when they're cooked (sauteed etc.) and in butter

I like

Onions (whole onion a day)
Steamed broccoli and cauliflower (just thrown a little water in a pan and steam 5 min)
Organic low-sodium pickles from Whole Foods - it is amazing what kinds of sludge is found in all the pickles sold at regular grocery stores: all brands contain sugar and food dyes and/or artificial flavorings

Seaweed is also really good for you, it provides iodine for your thyroid which speeds up metabolism.

I love tomatoes but can't eat them, nightshade.

All of these are low carb.
