Cabbage and Spinach were on my list of stuff on induction as well - but, like you said, these significant volume, especially raw, if you are not used to eating greens and other low carb veg.

Good questions tho, not sure I've heard it before here

PS, can you reference your "foundation vegetables" source. these can vary a bit from plan to plan, I think of what you're talking about as Atkins/Westman list?


I was eating a couple of small servings of vegetables per day. Yes, the foundation vegetables I mention are from the Atkins list.

It's interesting to see the comments on net carbs vs. total carbs. The Atkins info I've seen stresses net carbs, not total carbs. It would be easier to get to the 12-15 grams/day mark counting total and not net. Would my weight loss be the same by counting total and not net?

Thanks for all the replies!!
