You'll notice that "green beans" aren't on the list either.

And they are most certainly an Induction vegetable!

It can be right! Yes, it does seem crazy high ... but I've seen it work for people.

What I would do right now is to aim for 2250-2500 calories ... see how that works.

Have you checked your BMR?

BMR Formula

Not your activity rate ... just what it takes to keep you in bed all day!

Ok, my BMR, no activity included is 1,820 ... so I think shooting for 2500 - at least on days I work out - sounds good!!

I have upped my cals the last few days and I still lost fine and my cravings went WAY down, so yay!!

Yes I did see that but I thought maybe the website was updated with just 'beets' ... so what 3 cups of veggies do/did you eat in the induction phase?

Re: My menu - thanks for your help!

yes - any 3 from the book - That is high enough in carbs to get to 15 -20 net cards... which ones of those do you eat?

>>which ones of those do you eat?>>

Doesn't matter what ones I or any one else eats.

What's important is how YOU get the 12-15 net carbs.

What vegetables on the list do YOU eat?

Re: My menu - thanks for your help!

HA - you are right Georgiana! the ones I like do not add up to the carb count I am suppose to have - can I eat more then 3 cups to get the count up??

Re: My menu - thanks for your help!

Maybe it's time to learn to like new ones?
