Hi

I'm new as of today. Maybe I just have not read everything but what is a thread? Is it an e-mail asking questions etc. Sorry to be so stupid but I am still trying to figure everything out. I enjoy reading about everyone's sucesses, and hoping I will have some to post. I started on Adkins 1 week ago and have lost 5#. I think I am eating 2 many green beans. I really crave veggies, and not the salad kind. Any hints about surviving this would be appreciated. I thought I would crave pasta, but no its sweets and veggies.

Thank you for listening.

Hi, Borlisch. I'm not much of a salad eater either; never have been, really. But there are plenty of other veggies you can have on Induction. Basically, all green veggies are OK - they don't have to be leafy. No white veggies except cauliflower, and no carrots or tomatoes (maybe just a slice or two). Good low-carb veggies are cabbage, celery (you can cook it; I like it wokked), mushrooms, cauliflower, zuchinni, brocolli, radishes (you can cook these too, OK, I know they're not green), spinach, bean sprouts....oh, and you can cook lettuce, did you know? I like it wokked....I've been known to wok leftover salad!

Speaking of which, two of the lowest-carb veggies I've come across are Chinese cabbage (sui choy) and another Chinese veggie that looks a bit like celery (bok choy). Sui choy is about 1 carb/cup uncooked. It's yummy wokked or steamed lightly with a little sesame oil sprinkled over. A mild taste not unlike brocolli. And you can eat LOTS.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I like to wok also. We can get Chinese cabbage here in Mo.
St. Louis carries a lot of shops that carry foods we can not get around here.

WEll best get back to work.


Have a great day.
