I quit counting green vegetables around the time I finished induction. I've never met anyone who got fat eating broccoli and spinach! I was a little more careful with squash and such, but I've been eating all the green leafy stuff I wanted for months and months -- 20-30g net of veggies on average, which is a LOT of green stuff. I limited my other carbs pretty strictly while losing weight, so veggies really were my primary carb source. As for getting all the benefits of LCing, of course I do -- LCing is about getting HEALTHY carbs, not NO carbs! Veggies are good for you, and 20g of veggie carbs has a lot less impact on blood sugar (and thus weight loss) than 20g of, say, dairy carbs. I say eat all the green veggies you can stand!
