I'm half way through week 3, (so I'm no expert), but I have my full quoto of veg everyday.....most days having at least 300g of salad (which is very low in carbs n calories), shared over 2 meals. So far I lost 13lb wk 1, and. 5lb wk 2, I've also had a sneaky peep this wk n have lost 2 1/2lb.

This is just my experience and by no means an official answer. Hope it helps a little ladies.

You mean 200g right?

 

[helanrob]

No I've been having 300g of salad......I figure cucumber, which is quite heavy is 90% water, and baby spinach/mixed leaves are all very low in carbs....think it's 1g carb for every 100g leaves. Then I have 1 spring onion finely chopped. Its a really generous portion so I feel very satisfied.

I've had quite good losses so far, but time will tell I'm sure.

eek I am not brave enough just yet to start modifying the rules. I figure if your getting good losses its obviously working for you.


Good luck with your weight loss!

I have between 100 and 150g of veg everyday without fail and its never affected my losses i dont think!! X

 

[desperate2lose]

I would like hear more from others with regards to this issue please. I will be starting SnS soon n having a veg would really save me. But i would like to know if it has an impact on weight loss. Since we all want the maximum loss from this plan.

If you stick to the amounts in the S&S guidelines then no it won't impact your losses.

The vegetables will add approx 50 calories to your daily total (depending on what you have). If you consider that you need a deficit of 3500 calories to lose 1lb that means that the difference in weight loss per week will be approx. 0.1lb if you include the vegetables. Personally I find that including the vegetables helps me to stick with the diet and I know that if I went off plan it would be a hell of a lot more damaging than 0.1lbs a week. The main thing that will maximise weight loss is sticking to the plan 100% and not to add things in that aren't part of the plan.

I wish I liked veggies

 

[BordersGirl]

Go on Starlight try some - there must be one that you like! Do you not even like mushrooms? Thought you had the mushroom pasta? God I love mushrooms

 

[Starlight]

I can take mushrooms chopped up and in a sauce but can't stomach cooked/raw veg

 

[BordersGirl]

That's a real pity as veggies are a really healthy thing to get used to eating ready for maintenance.

 

[Starlight]

I know . Never have liked them unfortunately

I think what's also important with the veggies, is especially for salad, they are mostly water and have a nice pleasant diuretic effect, I de-seed my cucumber, and have a gigantic salad of cos lettuce, cucumber, spring onion and celery. Also your veggies have added fibre which for most of us, the lack of can cause some issues on this plan so I think skipping them is potentially more detrimental than having them to be honest.

I started yesterday after coming from CD and I enjoyed my veggies and when the weather is better i'll be bulking up on salads. This diet seems to have more options than CD and im enjoying it 2 days in
