Veggies?

[heidilynnwho]

Hi guys, I just started induction today and I was just wondering what veggies are best?

I have home canned green beans from my grandma, are those ok?

What about frozed brocolli, or bell pepper mix frozen?

Re: Veggies?

here is a list of the veggies are you allowed to eat -- as far as grandma's green beans they should be fine -- frozen broccoli is what I eat most of the time and the bell pepper mix is ok as long as they don't have any ingredients not on the veggie list.

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: Veggies?

Thanks! I love brocolli and peppers. And in those frozen bag mixes that is the only thing in them.

Any other suggestions?

Re: Veggies?

This is probably a duh question but only to those who know the answer

I have always weighed my food so the veg have me a little confused some times. Should I use a 2 cup measuring dish and when it is loosly packed that is my two cup veg no matter what is in it(well off the veg list of course)

Re: Veggies?

Thanks for the list and i have it saved, but it still does not help if I am not having 1 cup of only that veg..My problem is finding out the weight of 1 cup of these veg mixed in a salad..i posted a fresh link to maybe help you understand what I mean..Maybe I just don't get the math on this it never was my strong suit..this is where I messed up the last time I tried this diet...

thanks for your Patience

Re: Veggies?

If you are mixing the veg it would be easier to just fill the cup measures with them.

Re: Veggies?

Heidi what I do is put everything loosly packed into my measuring cup then put it on my plate on in a bowl to eat.
