Could I be eating too many veggies?
I have just started my new LC lifestyle 4 days ago and even though I've read quite a bit (I read and reread the Atkins Essentials book before starting), everything seemed to make sense before I started but now I'm plagued with questions.
I think the most pressing one at this time is: Could I be eating too many veggies? Here's why: I live in Mexico and it's not unusual for us down here to eat a lot of tomatoes and carrots, I just did a quick search on the atkins website and found out that I shouldn't be eating carrots, so I will change that. I also saw that I should only eat one cup of tomatoes a day during Induction, so I will lower that as well. My husband, who also started low-carbing this weekend has been eating lettuce leaves like there is no tomorrow (his psychological replacement for tortillas), he can eat a whole head of lettuce in a single meal!
My question is could this slow down or stall our weight loss?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
