One member of my heart therapy class is fond of saying, if it tastes good, spit it out.
I'm starting a diet, and it's ok because I actually like the taste of veggies. If I pop some frozen brussel sprouts into a plastic bowl, turn on the microwave, wait 5-7 minutes, then splash on some soy sauce, it tastes pretty good to me (brocolli & cauli mix works, too).
Onion, squash, tomatoes, cabbage, carrots, cukes, lettuce, green peppers, mushrooms, corn (CORN!), potatoes... need I go on? Veggies rule, dudes.
I ain't be no vegetarian, but when dieting, a good book I can recommend is "Laurel's Kitchen", which I bought a really long time ago and has served me well in preparing healthy food.
Of course, the only reason to diet is to lose enough weight to start ordering pizza's again - but I digress.
