Silly Question about Black olives...

[WannaLoseRealBad]

I feel silly asking this but I must know... Is half a cup of black olives okay as long as you keep your total carbs under 20g per day?

1/2 cup of whole black olives: 4g carbs, 2g fiber, 7g fat and 1g protein.

I sure do love black olives...

If you're on Induction phase, the olives are limited to "ten to twenty" because as a Special Category food, olives might prevent weight loss in some folks.

In DANDR 2002, page 129, "Special Category Foods".

Black olives are great for a snack and with other foods....just need to limit them.

Welcome to the board and best of luck with your weight loss!

Wow... I thought I was the only one who did that. I love it! And I add a few chopped banana peppers too. I think I figured out what I'm going to have for dinner!
