6th SemiAnnual Veggie Challenge

Re: 6th SemiAnnual Veggie Challenge

By the way ... is that one new veggie each day, or one new veggie during the 5 days?

Edit: Ah ... just checked the list and I don't think there are any that I have never eaten except for some I have never seen here (jicama, hearts of palm) so I will concentrate on finding new and exciting ways to prepare them

Rosie, it's nice to meet you!

It is one new veggie or new way of preparing one, once during the 5 days.

Hiya Mitzi!!!

I'm back after a couple weeks of being very ill -- back to induction....so I'm in for 12 net carbs daily.

I love this challenge because the problem I have with vegetables is not eating TOO many....never had a problem not eating enough...lol!

Can't wait!

So count me in please - Induction level

Re: 6th SemiAnnual Veggie Challenge

Hi everyone, here's a "question" to clear my befuddled brain. So on OWL, I've added 1 extra cup of vegies. So, today for example, I had 2 cups of frozen, microwaved broccoli at lunch (with 6 meatballs) and at supper, 1 cup (measured after cooking) of mixed Oriental style vegies (containing a lot of broccoli! and onions). that was only 12.8 net carbs! I must be reading the book incorrectly or as I said above, my brain is befuddled! How much more vegies can we add on Owl rung 1? I know it says add in 5 gram increments but if that is not net grams, how do I get enough vegies to get to 17 net? Do I sound panicky? I feel panicky....

I'd eat lots of vegies if I'm "allowed" but what's our limit?

Thanks everyone,

Suzanne

Suzanne, I'm on my way out of the door, so I'll give my short answer. I'll expound more on it this evening, because it is actually a very good question.

- in OWL you add 5g net carbs worth of veggies, rather than 1 cup. So in OWL, you don't worry so much about cups, as you do net carbs.

- to whoever may be looking for ways to get in more veggie carbs: 1 cup of yellow bellpepper strips (about 150g) = 8.2g net carbs. I love to eat these with a piece of string cheese as a snack. And it's classified as a salad veggie, so it is very Induction-friendly.

Re: 6th SemiAnnual Veggie Challenge

Do we just state every day whether we ate the 12g vegies or do we have to state what we ate for each meal?
