Another veggie question

[Mandi_2]

I have a veggie question......... Ok, We are allowed up to four cups salad veggies a day. I was wondering, If we have no veggies one day, can we have say two cups from the "Other veggies" for dinner??
Just wondering... yesterday I didn't get the chance to have my veggies throughout the day and I had two cups cabbage for dinner. Did I mess up??

We follow Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, 2002 ed here. In that book, Dr. ATkins says we can have either 3 cups of the vegetables on the "Salad" list or 2 cups of the "salad" list vegetables plus 1 cup of the vegetables on the "other" list. The "salad" list contains about 20 vegetables----lettuce only being one of the 20.

The vegetable allowance isn't like Weight Watcher's Points. You can't save them up. That's because Atkins is based on how food affects your blood sugar and insulin response. If you save up your carbs, your blood sugar might be thrown out of whack.

So, make those veggies your priority and include them in every meal!
