5 a Day the Low Carb Way | LCE
How to Make Fruit a Part of Your Low-Carb Diet | LCE

Both very good articles, Andrea. You know, interestingly enough, I actualy ENJOY eating now MORE than I did before LC. Who knew eating healthy could be so enjoyable. Now I look forward to my meals with the colorful variety and sinfully delicious desserts made with REAL fruit and REAL cream on occasion.

Yum!

LOL, Andrea. So true.

Andrea, those were great .. okay everyone pause for a second while i applaude her! <clap clap clap>
i had to add them to my favorites so i can go print them out and laminate them for something i can take along w/ me.. and when i have someone tell me "how are you getting in enough veggies" btw just heard that 2 days ago... i have something right on hand.. if nothing else i could just list out what i ate... like today. 1 egg omlit w/ mushrooms and fine diced caluiflower (gives me that fried tato feeling) lunch big bufett restrant.. had 2 little plates of salad.. containg spinich red cabbage like 2 cherry tomatos cucumber cheese ect.. one containg all of the above and some cut up strawberries YUMMIE.. then i had some baked chicken, green beans and steamed brocoli for desert i had some (and they even had a tag on this saying it was LC) lc whiped cream and some more strawberries and some cantalope.. dinner... 4 oz steak w/ mushrooms and a BIG itialian blend salad.. w/ 0carb ranch dressing.. i must say... im mighty full today and had proly more than my 5 a day! so :P

Ya know, I would just shrivel up and die if I didn't get to have fruit and veggies. I used to NEVER eat fruit before LC. Now I eat more of it than I ever have. I've always been a veggie eater, but I eat more of those now too. And Andrea, you're right!!!! A carrot never tasted better than on LC. I so appreciate them now when I have a few baby ones with my other raw veggies and dip. YUM YUM. Those have taken place of my dorito/pringle habit!!!!!

Thanks Andrea!!!
I am sick of people saying that I am not aloud to eat any fruit and very limited veggies. I eat more veggies now than I ever have in my life (to tell the truth...when I was eating cheesburgers and fries I never had a side of broccoli...usually just a second helping or a couple brownies for dessert). So count me in.
I had my five today. snack: fresh broccoli with low carb ranch
lunch: tossed salad with roasted chicken
dinner: broccoli, snap peas, beef stir fry (no rice of
course)
dessert: fresh strawberries and blueberries
