Important Question to N E Expert

[Nathalya]

I really am not too into vegetables, and i work at a kiosk in a mall which makes it not only impossible to bring my own food in but also quite expensive to buy from the food court everyday. ( Im a struggling student! ) Is it that important to eat vegetables everyday while on induction? Will it prevent me from losing weight if i don't. It would be a lot easier ( and cheaper ) for me to eat mostly meat on workdays. Although it's not very healthy, i would only do it during induction ( I dont have THAT MUCH weight to lose ) and i usually don't eat too many vegetables anyway.

Help to anyone who can answer...
WILL NOT EATING VEGGIES ON INDUCTION SLOW DOWN THE WEIGHT LOSS PROCESS?

Yes you must eat your veges everyday! NOt only do you need to carbs and nutrients contained in them but you also need to fibre to keep your "plumbing" working. Without your veges you may find that you dont feel very good!

I don't think not eating veggies will stop your weight loss,but will not be good for your health in the long run. I second what D14965 said.

Dr. Atkins spelled out clearly what is to be eaten with his plan. He didn't say eat veggies if you want to eat veggies. Sounds like Atkins may not be for you, plain and simple.

The plan needs veggies to work. The first rung is veggies. Eating only meat is not good for your body. Is it really impossible to bring a salad in your purse (assuming you're female)--or in a bag if you're male? You don't need much veggies while on induction.

if you skip veggies during your lunch while youre at work, just make sure you get plenty in during dinner then! or bring snacks like cut up peppers, celery, cauliflower, brocc, etc.
