What if I dislike vegetables?
Start with the least objectionable version, not the most virtuous one. Roasted vegetables, stir-fried vegetables, soups, salsa, blended tomato sauces, slaws, pickled vegetables, or vegetables mixed into rice bowls are often easier than plain steamed broccoli.
Increase gradually. A sudden jump from very low fiber to large salads and cruciferous vegetables can cause bloating and discomfort. If vegetables are still difficult, use fruit, beans, lentils, oats, potatoes, and whole grains to support fiber and satiety while you keep experimenting.
The standard is progress. A diet with two vegetables you reliably eat beats a theoretical perfect list you avoid.
