The Carb Veggie Question
Okay--starting to come out of my self-pity from this morning. I have gained 4 pounds in 5 days after a cheat on Friday. The most common recommendation I have had is Eat More Carbs.
I've been doing Induction for 3 weeks, and 90% of the time my carbs are 10 or fewer each day. Now, the best and lowest calorie way to add more carbs is to eat more veggies. But, as Dr. A. says, I can only have 3 cups salad or 2 cups salad and 1 cup approved veggies each day. THat is definitely not enough to get to 20 carbs per day.
So here's the question: Can I eat veggies until I reach 20 carbs per day even if it means having 6 cups salad each day, or 4 cups salad and 2 cups other Induction veggies? Or will that blow the plan out of the water?
I guess I can't blow it any worse than I have... what would more veggies hurt?
