I would like to know if ya'll eat broccoli with your CM meals. Could you please tell me your reaction to it if you eat it.
Thanks, Amy

Thumbs down As far as I know

Broccoli is on the Reward Meal-only list of vegetables, so no, I don't eat it at CM's. Can't say as I really miss it though, as it isn't one of my very favourites.

Apparently, it is higher in carbs than the vegetables that are permitted for CM's.

Thumbs up Broccoli

Broccoli, green beans and cucumbers are my main veggies that I eat with my CM's. No problems so far. See how your body reacts to it.

Good luck!

I have broccoli only at RM. I think thats one reason why Atkins wasnt spectacular for me. Now I know I cant eat it at CM.
each to their own once again I guess.

I eat broccoli occasionally for CM's. It is on the acceptable list for CALP, but with an asterisk. At cm's I only have moderate amounts but I may have a heaping serving as the non-starchy veggie at RM's.

Well thanks for your replies. I ate about 1cup of broccoli with breakfast and will NEVER do it again. I have terriable cravings today and already cheated. I guess you just don't know till you try. I must say, my cravings have been soooo overwhelming today. So bad, that I ate a handful of homemade chex mix.I'm not going to beat myself up though. Hoildays are HARD. PERIOD!! Back on the saddle tomorrow with no broccoli.

Amy
