"Mark" wrote in message ... Change your quantities. If you are dieting and using phrases like "mountain of mixed fresh veg", then you need to cut back. Sorry to be so blunt, but you can't eat mountains of anything when dieting. Vegetables (excluding corn, potatoes or other starchy vegetables) are unlimited on my food plan, which has worked very well for me. Mary 325-154-148 |

Sorry to be so blunt, but you can't eat mountains of anything when dieting. I'm sorry but I disagree. I never cut back on vegetables, other than a few calorie dense ones, when I'm dieting and this has never affected my ability to lose weight. With my evening meal I eat perhaps half a cauliflower or cabbage, plus swede, turnips etc. in addition to a main protein dish. This works for me, and I have no intention of changing my quantities. janice 233/179/133 I agree 100%. Increasing vegetables and limiting other higher calorie foods is a great way to lose weight. Thank you Beverly. I'm glad someone else agrees with me. I love my veg - plenty of fibre and satiety value, with few calories. janice |

Mary 325-154-148 Well, if it worked for you Mary it's good enough for me. I'm glad I know enough about dieting and food intake to not listen to some of the daft advice that gets handed out here. It's exactly things like potatoes (which I rarely eat) and corn (which I weigh carefully) that I don't include in my mountain. janice |

That's what I like about couscous. OK, I know it's not pasta, Actually, I believe it counts as pasta, being more like semolina than anything else. but if you eat it with a mountain of mixed fresh veg with a little stock poured over, it doesn't need any sort of rich or fatty sauce with it. Indeed no! And lots and lots of harissa..... I never know quite what to do for protein, though, as if I just have couscous & veg, I get hungry. I suppose a little grilled or poached chicken? I do like pasta with just veggies, too, though. Me too, but I tend to sprinkle grated cheese on top. -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88/80kg |

You can when it's vegetables; I was looking at the pack of salad I had half of last night, and the nutrition information tells me that 100 grammes contains 18 kcal. Now, I had less than that - half of a 160g pack, so 80 g - and I can assure you, that was a mountain of mixed fresh vegetables! -- Annabel - "Mrs Redboots" 90/88/80kg |
