          Welcome aboard. Make sure you read/reread the book. Veggies (salads) are an important part in the process.

          Good luck to you in your journey. You're only a stone throw away!

            Hi Claire

            It is good to meet another Brit on ADBB!!

            Make sure you check the list of allowed foods as we are allowed more than 'a bit of salad'!! Apart from the nutrients in the 54 vegetables on the allowed list the fibre in them might help against any BM problems
            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!



            Check out our Low Carb Recipes website and add to it!!

              Welcome BotBot,

              I echo what Elizellen said..its good to see a fellow Brit..and we definitely can eat more than a bit of salad!

              I admit I didn't weigh my salad and veggies in the first two weeks I know I only had about half the salad veggies I'm allowed and about triple the veggie veggies I'm allowed ( Cauliflower, cabbage, sprouts), so I wasn't really following the plan.( I had no weight loss in week 2 and this could have been the reason)

              I now use fitday to record my food intake, I play about with the us cup measurements to find out what the equivalent volume/weight/calorific value of food would be in oz and grams. I'm now eating substantially more salads(we're allowed to 2 cups daily) and less veggies (1 cup daily).

              Her's a link to my food diary at Fit day to give you a flavour of what I've been having on this WOE.
