[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1651999, member: 410240"] The easy rule to use for veg, is that [LIST] [*]all grean veg is great [*]above ground other the fruit is OK [*]avoid fruit other than a few barriers [*](tomato etc may be technically a fruit but think of them as above ground veg) [*]below ground veg you need to look up how much carb it contains (onions are ok, potatoes are not) [/LIST] The more you cook or mash the quicker your body adsorbs the carbs, hence mash or baked potatoes are much worse than boiled potatoes. Juices are never a good option for the same reasons. It is OK to add some butter, olive oil or lemon juice to the veg and salad, but avoid ready made dressing as they often contain suger. [/QUOTE]
