But it just didn't taste right at all. There will be the odd time when and especially if you are not a vegetable eater things may taste odd, but persevere with it! I was too busy to think to change it and couldn't afford to anyway. I added some basalmic vinegar too in an attempt to try to spruce it up? But the basalmic vinegar seemed to work against the boiled egg- white and even made the carrot seem weak in texture. It could have been nice though with 5 broken walnuts and no more than ten raisins i am sure. But the walnuts and raisins i did not have, so, not wanting to waste food i ate it anyway. Going back to not wanting to waste food being a contributory factor in weight gain. I doubt that what i ate could have done harm. It was all good, just didn't taste as i'd personally hoped. You'll get there! Please find below a photo of a vegetable meal which was prepared in a steamer as part of this diet regime. I hadn't had cauliflower for years. I never knew exactly what to do with sweet potato but they turned out fine. Comparible tastewise to the regular varieties of potato, a nice change none-the-less.

Photo right: 2 regular potatoes, one sweet potato, brussell sprouts, two carrots half of a cauliflower The cauliflower had a bit missing and was discoloured /was the last one in the supermarket/. All steamed in a steamer. There was an extra 2 half of potatoes left too and a few brussels. The potatoes cook faster if sliced or cut in half. I leave the skins on but remove the notchy /dark or green The cauliflower cooks easily anyway
