I was told that romaine lettuce counted as a veggie by my coach. So does that mean I just need 2 cups for lunch and dinner? Or do I need to add some iceberg or something? Thanks in advance!!

That is very interesting.
I was told lettuce = iceburg, romaine, boston, bibb, leaf
So, my veggies come from other places, other than lettuce
I guess I will have to explore the world of veggies. I love pickles so maybe Ill love cucumbers. Also I am gonna try to use spinach as salad. I need some major inspiration for this veggie stuff :-\

When I started IP I only liked five veggies on the list. I made it a goal to try something new every week. I have found I love most of them now as my tastes have changed. Most veggies taste great roasted!
x0x aprildawn -- I love rhubarb. It's barely a veggie! I found it in the frozen food section and microwave it with cinnamon and a touch of vanilla - about 2 min so it get mushy. It's like apple sauce.
Also, give cauliflower a try. Grate it on a cheese grater and stir fry it with oil spices. You would never know it's cauliflower - more like fried rice. Or steam frozen cauliflower and blend with chicken stock and garlic for a mashed potato like an option.

One of the true wonders /wonderful lifestyle change of this protocol are the number of posters who report their tastes change.. In a healthy direction.....! Veggies they thought they did not care for.....and even like you.. Not a veggie fan at all, find by maintenance they DO like some! Don't be so sure you are a lost cause! You may surprise you!
I managed a cup of spinach and waldens farm for a salad. I will try mixing it in my shakes. I am a huge texture person and the spinach leaves are ok until almost chewed then I gag! I wish I didnt have this issue.
I too was told lettuce (iceburg) did not count as veggie, but could be eaten in addition if hungry. I have for the last month eaten all kinds of salad greens as my 2 cups lunch meal. Is this not correct??
