LA Weight Loss - Vegtables servings

does anyone know why our vegatalbes are limited? I understand why starchy vegtables would be limited? But why the others? :?:

Does anyone know?

I have no idea, I'll try to remember to ask tomorrow when I go WI.

While I've never been able to get an "official" answer from my COD to this question, I personally believe it's to do with educating clients about portion size/control and to give some structure to the program - make us think about what we're eating. How much bang we get for the buck so to speak. Though, portion size is not my problem when it comes to veggies! Bread is another issue.

I was "unofficially" told that if I was hungry I could eat leafy green veggies or raw green veggies that have high water content. In a way, the new plans that give you 3 cups of lettuce and 2 cups of raw spinach help with volume and feeling full.

I agree with you, Melissa - I am just wondering...I eat alot of veggies, I have a garden and now have lots of tomatoes and cuccumbers...love them...

Kim, how long did it take you to lose so much weight....I am so down about this...in the last 14 weeks lost 11 lbs and I work so hard at it! Can you give me any tips?

I actually do not even measure my green veggies. They are so low in calories, why worry about it?

just trying to figure out why my weight loss is so slow

I don't measure my green veggies either. :) Hi Katie!!!

I agree with Melissa's thoughts on this. We are in a re-training mode here and trying to get away from just popping food in our mouths without thinking. I have learned to tell myself - "I have had my food servings and that is enough. I don't need anymore......"

I was told if I get hungry I can always eat more green raw veggies by my COD.
