  • Veggie Question

    It's cold. It's really cold. And I don't really like eating salads and cold food when it's cold.

    As long as I keep under my 20g of carbs can I replace my salad with a small amount of cooked veggies? I know it will mean a significantly smaller volume of veg, but will it harm my progress?

    There is no reason why you have to eat salads. This is not a "eat salads" diet. You have eat under 20 carb of veggies from the allowed lists but how you prepare them is up to you. I often stir fry my veggies.

      Also Dr. Atkins NEVER writes that the veggies on the "salad" list must be eaten raw. I think some of the veggies on that list, like bok choy and mushrooms, taste much better cooked than they do raw. Same goes for the peppers. I think sauteed or roasted sweet red or yellow peppers taste much nicer than raw peppers.

        You can also try throwing some veggies into some stock, pick your flavor choice and make a nice soup.
