Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 BFL says a MINIMUM of veggies at two meals (most people have trouble meeting that ... in fact, I can't tell you how many folks have an iceburg lettuce salad and tomato sauce and try to pass that off as veggie portions). You are allowed to have as much as you like from the veggie " column " and I highly recommend it. I've seen people bust through fat loss plateaus simply from ADDING several leafy green veggies. Veggies rule. They are a great way to remain hydrated, they add tons of fiber which slows digestion and aids in absorption of critical nutrients while maintaining blood sugar levels, and provide tons of anti-oxidants and phytochemicals.

Guest guest Posted December 15, 2003 Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 I just KNEW that would know the answer! :-) And fortunately it was the answer I was hoping for! My appetite has started to pick up, and the specified portion size for protein & carb just flat doesn't cut it sometimes... and I LOVE my veggies. So, perfect solution found! Thanks ! -- (signing off to go eat a big-ass SALAD!) > > Hi all - here's a food question for you foodies on the list. > > > > BFL says to eat a veggie at two meals a day, right?
