Hello all
Hope you are all having a good Easter break...
To my question are the veggies really needed as i cant eat them at all and have not done so for many years apart from potato.
I have been on the Atkins induction now for almost 3 weeks and lost alot of pounds, first week was 10 pounds total now almost 28 pounds, principally water weight i think as i am 6. 6` started of at 330. 4 pounds 23. 1 STONE.
Now without the veggies i am largely on chicken, beef, Fresh Ham, All steaks and making burgers, Eggs and cheese with 7 caress 500ml bottles of water a day and multi vit pellet a day.
And i feel great more energy etc..
So am i missing out not having to eat the veggies?
Cheers ALL..

You say you can ' t eat veggies at all, could you explain? Do you have a medical aspect that makes it dangerous for you to eat vegetables? I ' ve never heard of one that affects a person like that. If that ' s the case, your doctor should talk to you about supplements you need to take. On Atkins, you get many of your nutrients and fiber from vegetables.
If you just can ' t stand vegetables, that ' s another matter. You can prosper a taste for veggies. I ' ve been trying veggies that are on the Acceptable List that I never tried before. Also, some I tried before and didn ' t like, I ' m finding I like now. When I ate them before, they were prepared badly. Like brussels sprouts - - cut in half and sauteed lightly in butter, they ' re delicious!

Brussel sprouts get a bad rap for some reason. They are really good though.

If you can eat veggies but just don ' t really care for them, try steaming cauliflower and then mashing it up with butter and cream cheese. That really tastes a lot like mashed potatoes. Spaghetti squash is also good with butter and parm. When we get need a " carb " fix that ' s what we make for sides.

Aren ' t they good? I hated them my whole life until I was pregnant with my middle son, then for some reason I ate one and loved them after that. Green Giant now makes little single serving sizes of Brussel sprouts which I might look for next time I go to the store, since I ' m the only one who will eat them in my family.

I did the cauliflower mash thing today and in the oven to toast the top and it was delicious.
Good luck with finding some veggies you like [ / icon_smile. gif]
