Default Re: QUestion about veggies & carbs

I am the one who heads up the Semi Annual boardwide Veggie Challenge, and I can tell you this - YES, it is quite possible to get 12g of net carbs from Induction level veggies. Don't limit yourself to greens and lettuce.

For example:
1 cup of jicama (Salad veggie) = 5g net carbs
1 cup of red bellpepper, raw, cut into strips (Salad veggie) = 6g net carbs
1/2 can of pumpkin/which is .88cups (Other veggie) = 7g net carbs
TOTAL: 18g net veggie carbs

Here is the link to the Veggie Challenge that we just participated in: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...challenge.html (5th Semi Annual Veggie Challenge!)

Read through it for ideas on how to get in your veggies. With practice, you will learn to select the veggies with the most nutritional punch.
