Re: Restart

Dr. A gave us a wonderful list of salad veggies & other veggies to choose from~~~ You need to include some variety in your choices! Lettuce & cucumbers are alot of water & not alot of fiber. Good luck!!

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.

Re: Restart

I agree with OzLover. There is so much more to life than lettuce and cucumbers.

Let me introduce you to our good friend Linda:

Recipes marked with a * are Induction approved.

Maybe the reason you gave into temptation the last time was because your food was boring and bland. It doesn't have to be that way! I've used dozens of Linda's recipes for meals, and my doesn't-need-to-lose-weight fella, loves them!

Give yourself a chance this time, by making this a way of life, and don't just mark time on a diet.
