I asked this question to a dear friend, and thought, why not ask it here as well. Each one usually has their "staple" foods which is mostly daily. If you could only have 3 veggies, which ones would they be?

It is okay if it takes me a little longer to get there, besides this is where I'm going to stay forever and that is a really long time!!!

Re: What 3 veggies do you feel you couldn't live without?
It would depend on the day but... asparagus, Brussels sprouts, broccoli. Then there's the red peppers, cauliflower, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes.
A vegetable that I can and do do without is mushrooms.J.

Re: What 3 veggies do you feel you couldn't live without?
Well, if I could only have 3 veggies daily (and I don't know why you could only have 3, but I'll get to that point later.Originally posted by goin2befit View Post
I would have onions, mushroooms, celery one day. The next day I would have pumpkin, jicama and cucumbers. The next day I would have asparagus, parsley (yes, parsley is listed as a "salad" veggie) and arugula. The next day I would have green beans, sweet red peppers and fennel.
Back to my earlier point of having 3 different veggies. Dr. Atkins doesn't write that you are not allowed to divide your veggies into 1/3 cup increments or 1/2 cup increments etc. So if you chose to eat 2 cups of the salad veggies, you can eat either 2 cups celery OR 1 cup celery and 1 cup cucumber OR 1/2 cup celery, 1/2 cup cucumber, 1/2 cup red peppers, 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts, OR 1/4 cup celery, 1/4 cup cucumber, 1/4 cup red pepper, 1/4 cup alfalfa sprouts, 1/4 cup fennel, 1/4 jicama, 1/4 cup radishes.

Amanda, I'm assuming that you're asking this question in the same vein as "If you were stranded on an isolated island and could only have 3 books, which 3 books would you take to read?", rather than planning to limit yourself to 3 veggies in real life.
In that case, I would choose jicama, mushrooms, and cauliflower.

Re: What 3 veggies do you feel you couldn't live without?
Tough - veggies are so versatile - I think if had to limit myself to three it would be mushrooms, peppers and onions. I can have a lot of fun with those three
