I think the way you might be able to handle eating vegetables is to disguise it with different sauces. I use this sauce for my asparagus and broccoli. Take nofat sourcream, add some orange juice, use the rind of orange and lime, and you can add some lime juice in there too. Mix it all up and refrigerate. Pour over steamed brocc. or asparagus. It is great in the Summer. You can also make a cheese sauce for your broccoli too.

I tried the psychological approach. As I don't like sauces and 'wet' meals per say. I wrote on a scrap of paper and put it in my top pocket every day and reffered to it at meal times for a week.
''I LIKE RAW CAULIFLOWER'' and ''I LIKE RAW BROCOLI''

Now I eat these as accompanying vegetables to my evening meal and thoroughly enjoy looking forward to it..

Sounds like a good sauce, I shall try that tomorrow and see how it goes. I too can barely stand the GOOD vegies, such as brocolli, cauliflower, asparagus etc
I'm getting better, but whenever I get sick of eating the vegies, I place a piece of meat in my mouth, chew twice to get the taste and quickly chuck in all the biggest pieces of vegies, and chew together, doesnt sound to good, but the meat generally overpowers the taste of the vegies and before I know it, I have eaten a cup each of brocolli, cauliflower and asparagus.

Thanks for the sauce tip, I'll give it a go tomorrow.

Another thing I try to "cover" the flavor of some vegies: I like pour a little bit of olive oil and some balsalmic vinager over top and heat them in oven for about 10 min. or so to create a glaze. Quite tastey!

Or cook them in the microwave for a few minutes with a little fatfree, low-sodium chicken broth and a seasoning blend. Cook maybe 3 minutes, covered, to steam...mmmmm
