Veggie Question

[lobstah]

I am having a hard time eating my veggies every day. I am afraid that it will cause a stall! I keep reading the opposite in other threads -- that it actually helps. Is it because of the fiber? Or are there other reasons?

So why would you think it would stall you?
Do you own and have you read the book?

You definatley need to eat your veggies! Your body needs the vitamins and nutrients plus the fiber!

If you are worried, make sure to eat just the lowest carb veggies in precise amounts as per Induction rules. Veggies are important.

[2big4mysize]

the veggies on the acceptable foods lists are low glycemic value carbohydrates and if you check they are low carb too. eatting them will actually help you lose weight because of the micronutrients they contain which our bodies need for fat burning and there are some body parts likw red blood cells that need carbs only for fuel. Do your Atkins as Dr Atkins designed it and be the healtheir smaller person you want to be.

Lobstah, don't get bored just eating those. Have you tired cucumber, zucchini, fresh spinach. Cauliflower is a real staple around here and we can give you recipes to make your mouth water

Spinach with a little parmesan cheese, salt, and olive oil is sooooo good! I forgot about cauliflower. I used to love those fake mashed "potatoes"! Thanks for the tips!
