Starting atkins for the 10th time!

Yes they do! Especially with cheese lol. I love my cheese, so glad I don't have to give that up and it isn't stalling me.

I'm gonna have to check that list again and see what other vegetables are there to add to my salad.
I will sometimes put some zucchini in olive oil and fry it with seasoning. It's so good with a steak!

Here you go!

Vegetables
You can have two to three cups per day of:

alfalfa sprouts
daikon
mushrooms
arugula
endive
parsley
bok choy
escarole
peppers
celery
fennel
radicchio
chicory
jicama
radishes
chives
lettuce
romaine lettuce
cucumber
moche
sorrel
These salad vegetables are high in phytonutrients and provide a good source of fiber.

Other Vegetables
You can have one cup per day of these veggies if salad does not exceed two cups. The following vegetables are slightly higher in carbohydrate content than the salad vegetables:

artichoke
celery root
pumpkin
artichoke hearts
rhubarb
asparagus
chard
sauerkraut
bamboo shoots
collard greens
scallions
dandelion
snow peas
bean sprouts
dandelion greens
spaghetti squash
beet greens
eggplant
spinach
broccoli
hearts of palm
string or wax beans
broccoli rabe
kale
summer squash
brussels
kohlrabi
tomato
bean sprouts
leeks
turnips
cabbage
okra
water chestnuts
cauliflower
onion
zucchini
If a vegetable, such as spinach or tomato, cooks down significantly, it must be measured raw so as not to underestimate its carb count.

Yes, it's great!

It's does my heart good, to see you excited about veggies. It's a recipe for success.

Speaking of recipes... in case you haven't seen Linda's recipe site, I am going to include a link. Tons of great veggie options (among other things)! Linda's Low Carb Menus & Recipes - Home

Yes! I love lots of vegetables and they go so well with meat! Too bad I can't have a baked potato LOL

I'm sure one day I'll be able to eat a small one when I've moved onto the last phase of my atkins WOL.

Thank You so much for that list! I LOVE mushrooms on salad, especially fried in butter. And the artichoke with tabasco and broccoli on my salads. I totally forgot about those things. It's hard to retain ALL the information after not reading the book for a couple years.

Ok, just checked, I guess I'll be eating a small portion of boiled potatoes with cheese on them one day. LOL

Almost 50 grams of carbs in a baked potato! wow
