Lost of Low/No-Carb veges
Hi, Banana. I just had to put in my two cents. I am on the Schwarzbein program and we have two kinds of veges: non-starchy and starcy. And technically we don't count the non-starchy veges.
Non-starchy veges include some of my favorites: cabbage, broccoli, zucchini, tomatoes, raw carrots, celery, onions, garlic, etc.
These veges should be a part of you diet IMHO. My lunch is typically a grilled chicken breast with 3 roma tomatoes, a 4" piece of English cucumber and oil and vinegar salad dressing. I love it.
I'm not reducing fast, but it's coming off. And I am firming up and shrinking faster.
However, the other thing I have read is that one thing that can help get a person off a plateau is to up their fat intake. This helps convince the body that it can burn fat for energy.
