Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 If you want lots of veggies, go for it. They provide the good carbs and lots of nutrients, just like the book says.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 You may have as many servings/cups of veggies that you would like, but you need to have at least 5 cups of veggies per day. -Beth Vegetables > Hi, > > I'm new to both the group and the diet.

Most folks tend to not eat enough veggies before starting the South Beach way of eating, so they are suprised at how many vegetables they can eat and that they are expected to eat 5 sevings a day. -- Ann You spend your life fighting dirt, and when you die they bury you in it. hayakawa@...

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2004 Report Share Posted September 5, 2004 Thanks Ann. The reason I asked is because in one of the South Beach Diet books there is a great receipe for grilled vegetables, and the receipe is 19 carbs! > > I'm new to both the group and the diet.
