      Re: Avocado

      just be sure for any inductees reading to follow the size limitation in chapter 11 of your DANDR 1/2 of a small avacado is the limit. small avacado refers to the smaller black Haas variety not the large green FLA type.

        Hi,

        Since you can only have 1/2 per day, is someone else going to eat the other half?

        If not, to save it for the next day without it turning really brown once you slice it open, Squeeze a little fresh lime over the surface. And keep the pit inside the container with the 2nd half until you eat it. Do not know if it is
        true, but I was told it helps prevent the avocado from browning as well.

          Re: Avocado

          I usually split the avocado with my hubby, but wonder, once on OWL, which rung would avocado come under, to allow for eating the whole one in the day?
          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

                I think so if it does not stall you. On OWL we want to limit foods to 5 net carbs but one whole avocado probably is only about 5 net carbs.

                  Re: Avocado

                  why is it rung 1 if rung 1 is just more of the yummy induction legal veggies? avocado is a special catagory food and is a fruit not a veggie? or are you using his example of what to add from the how to do it part?

                    He lists it among vegetables in Chapter 14 (OWL). And yes, I'm referring to The Power of Five list of foods we can add in each rung.

                        I just thought I was only allowed 1/2 (small one) per day. Would love to eat more
