I think I am ready to move up to rung 6, but I do not like beans. Can I move up in carbs only, or do I need to add the legumes? I am not really worried about having a sensitivity to beans, because I don't eat them unless I am forced to at gunpoint.

Re: Moving up... maybe.
You do not have to eat them if you do not think they will be part of your diet when you reach maintenance.
You can add another five carb of veggies or just jump to rung 7 if you likeStartdate: November 18, 2007. Female 5'2"

Re: Moving up... maybe.
Do you like peas, lentils or peanuts? they are legumes too and could be added on rung 6.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?

Re: Moving up... maybe.
It looks like in the book peas is listed with starchy vegetables if I remember it correctly. But I think botanically it is certainly a legume. Hmmm I never thought about that before. I added my peas with the starchy veggies

Re: Moving up... maybe.
You are right, Liv - green peas ARE listed in DANDR on the starchy veg rung! As I don't like them I never added them anyway, but always assumed they would be on the legume rung
