Ted Naiman - Twitter - great explanation

oh I can see it even now when I click on the cross ?
weird never mind - the link takes you to the right twitter account which is an interesting series of graphics.


I had to look up a cruciferous veg lol - what particular issue doe you have that prevents it?
I found this about thyroid problems - what else causes the problem?

I think I might have a bit of a problem with cabbage - as it seems to raise my blood sugars not too sure why yet!

Why the 10g of onion a day? I love onion, and include it in my losing weight, preventing a diagnosis regime, but wouldn't put it down as necessary. On the whole, it's not a bad summation of stuff to eat and stuff to avoid.

I ADORE the taste of onions - I use them to flavour practically everything - back in my low fat days, I would happily add 200-300g of onions into a stew because I thought it was healthy. I would also take a 500 g tub of colesslaw and chop into it 1.5 g of onion, carrot, apple, and cabbage - again in the mistaken belief that would be better for me than the mayonnaise then use a cereal bowl of that as a low calorie snack.

On looking at the " below ground vegetables rules the things that it truly HURT to give up was onions and carrots . So instead I decided I would still use them but in VERY limited quantities as flavourings - I have found to my surprise that a very small quantity still packs an enormous punch in terms of flavour but does not seem to make any difference to my blood sugars . Interesting I think cabbage does react badly - so I am now getting rid of that .

In the end we all have to find the food compromises that make life worth living - which for me was retaining a bit of onion!

You are a very sensible woman! And you're right - onion goes a long way, as do chilli, garlic and ginger. Even a bit of salt and pepper. Life is awfully dull if we can't spice it up a little.
 
I include onion in my diet, firstly as it is below 10 percent carb, and secondly because a little finely chopped onion is all it takes to give a beefburger a zing - or a salad a bit of oomph.
