I didn't eat a lot of the "extras" on Induction, so I had lots of room for veggies. Spent most of my carbs on veggies in fact.
And I lost 13 lbs on Induction.

You're far better off eating more veggies and limiting the cream and cheese, etc., in my opinion.

I discovered lots of new veggies like kale and daikon radish -- and cauliflower roasted. Yum yum.

I also like big salads with lots of stuff inside - celery, bit of onion, radishes, cucumber, red pepper. Some chicken and a bit of cheese on top.

Or spinach salad with sauteed mushrooms, crumbled sausage, sun dried tomatoes, olives, capers, etc.

Angela's right - veggies aren't what made us pack on the pounds.

So eat up the greens, and feel glad you're not only getting skinnier, you're getting healthier! And isn't that what's most important?

Good luck!
