Not a problem.

I know it's hard for new people on this diet to judge what they can and can not have and limit themselves to death. They forget about spices and herbs and pretty soon their daily diet is a drudgery to get through.

By adding fresh veggies, herbs and spices (I NEVER use canned and very rarely use frozen) you can add so much more flavor to your menu that you tend to forget you are on a diet to begin with. People tend to get stuck on the meat part of the diet.

Varying the ways in which you season your food will keep you honest and away from the bad foods I have yet to miss pasta, bread or rice dishes and I was a rice and pasta freak before starting this way of life.
