 Re: HELP! Weight loss has slowed :-( | |
You need the veggies! They are giving you important nutrients and vitamins that you don't get from the meat and dairy items you are allowed. One of my favorites is spinach because it is high in potassium. Your body needs lots and lots of potassium, and meats/eggs/cheeses aren't high in it at all...and potassium HELPS with the weight loss process. It also helps to avoid those nasty legs cramps you'll get from working out. So in short NO, do not cut out veggies. Eat as many as you are allowed/can. Added bonus is the fiber helps clean out your insides if ya know what I mean.
