Debbie Cousins's Journal, 19 January 2021

I've been eating at least 5 serving of vegetables a day - cooked carrots, green beans, butter beans, broccoli & cauliflower (with some cheese on them for protein), just cooked a cabbage in my InstantPot - a half a cereal bowl is only 22 calories, and my favorite: spaghetti squash. Is there such as thing as too much vegetables if they fit within my calorie range? I DO put salt on everything, but I drink my 8 cups of water. Going to try to drink MORE today - on #5 already and it's only 10am.

I have the grandkids today, and they want me to make Smoothies, but I anticipated that yesterday, when I selected my foods for the day and I'm working it in. Can't make them Cherry Chocolate Chunk Smoothies and not have some myself!

Debbie is this a diet that you put together yourself or who? Just wondering. Have you looked back in your journal and compared some of those day. Mainly those where you were loosing weigh. You can answer only if you want to. Keep going. You got this.

Doin good. No such thing as to much vegetables as far as I know. Some much denser & full of calories & carbs than others though. Consistent though which is so good! Glad to see easing on some fruit. Yeah if you don’t eat meat gotta get protein in there. Veggies don’t have a lot for sure. Think you’re doin awesome 🍀

I don't think there's such a thing as too much vegetables. At least not at a level that you can actually eat -- it's extremely challenging to subsist on just veggies, especially green veggies because it's just so much food. Just stop when you don't want any more and it won't be too much. They're also pretty high in water, which is a bonus.

I eat lots of veggies and fruit every day, though I am careful about white potatoes. Also make sure to get at least 20% protein daily.
