When it comes to vegetables, can you eat as much as you like?

Just as long as you remember to vary whatever you eat- even within the choice of veg but also remembering that things like nuts, seeds, beans and pulses as well as starch really work well with vegetables and will help you get a full scope of vitamins and nutrients.

Thanks Jennie. I eat loads of different types of veg, grains, nuts, seeds, pulses, legumes etc.

Eating lower carb green veg is a healthy way to eat. Far too many carbs are eaten by most people which causes weight problems. This is partly due to insulin release in the short term where insulin release in response to rising blood glucose levels causes the storing of body fat Carbs also cause the adaptation of colon flora in the long term where carbohydrate sources, which includes fibre are converted into fatty acids which can very significantly increase the bodies overall daily calorie total.

Some vegetables are much higher in carbs than others. Potatoes are very high in carbs and there are others which have quite high levels.

I dont see myself as being able to low carb it as a vegan.

I'm a vegan too and was wondering how my diet was. I take supplements everyday that I buy from H&B.

I recently went to the doctors to get a blood test done to make sure my body was in balance and it was all good. Maybe you could go and speak to a nutritionist to get some professional advice? I wouldn't recommend googling it though - your doctors should be able to point you in the right direction.

Thanks. I am pretty sure that i am healthy, as i feel much better than before when i was eating meat and dairy. I have loads more energy, which i imagine i wouldn't if i weren't very well or wasn't getting enough of the right nutrients.
