how often is it allowed? and cauliflower also?? I thought these veggies were high in carbs, but my list of food doesnt say anything about either being limited.

You are allowed up to 4 cups a day. In Phase 1 they prefer you to eat it as 2 cups at 2 different meals... but my coach says as long as I get in my 4 cups a day she is happy.

There are no other restrictions with broccoli and cauliflower.

You can have either as much as you like but if you have issues with carbs then I would only stick to them once or twice a week. When I first started that is all I ate then I started trying the yellow squash and zuchinni and venturing to other veggies. I have my "cold" veggies (pickled okra, cucumbers) at lunch and my cooked veggies at night.

when i was on phase one, one week i didn't lose any weight. my coach looked over my food journal and asked why i was eating so much broccoli. she said that broccoli is great because it is full of nutrients, but that i shouldn't eat it so much because of the high carb content. we decided that i shouldn't eat it more than twice a week. this might be a good rule of thumb for you too. if you eat it often and you find that your losses are slowing, you might want to cut back on your broccoli intake.

Good to know. Broccoli is my vegetable of choice!
