SolidToTheCORE · 09-03-2003, 11:09 PM

you know what would be COOL? if you posted a list of starchy carbs

ponyboy · 09-04-2003, 05:54 AM

Does anyone actually eat Dandelion greens? Mmm...

No not carrots - they are not a fibrous veggie

Stickboy · 02-07-2004, 07:49 PM

Well, I eat 23 of em out of that list. Not too shabby.

I don't care HOW healthy Brussel Sprouts are - I'd rather eat a pile of poo instead. Lord knows, it has got to taste better than them things

greekblondechic · 02-08-2004, 02:21 PM

brussel sprouts in olive oil and a lot of vinegar mmmmmmmm

firestorm · 02-09-2004, 01:54 AM

It's pretty safe to say looking at that list that just about every vegetable contains some amount of fiber. Carrots don't apparently but they have betacarotine which is good for your eye sight. so who cares, eat em all they are all good for ya.

donescobar2000 · 02-09-2004, 09:04 AM

Brussel Sprouts are an "A" on my list.

OmarJackson · 02-10-2004, 10:41 PM

do all those vegetables have no impact on blood insulin whatsoever?

thats why they're good right?

sara · 02-14-2004, 08:24 PM

radishes included in the veggies list, but not so many people eat radishes.. why is that?

atherjen · 02-14-2004, 08:29 PM

I like radishes!

espeically with vinegar and pepper!

YB, different veggies have different impacts on glucose. there are starchy veggies like peas, corn, potatoes, etc. and fiberous veggies are lower in carbs, lower in calories, higher in fiber.

JLB001 · 02-14-2004, 08:32 PM

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm radishes! yummy stuff

I like sprouts w/ vinegar, pepper and some butter
So, you saying radishes have different impacts on glucose than the green veggies?

I know this is old, but is there any downside to only eating a few of those?...Or is it best to get a wide range of them in your diet?

Caesar · 02-14-2006, 11:58 PM

what about green beans and all those other beans (black, pinto, northern..)?

Beans should be considered a starchy carb - so think of them like grains, potato, breads etc.

There are certainly benefits of eating many different types as you get different vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals/anti-oxidants from the different sorts of vegetables - and each offers you something unique.

But I think the most important thing is to first make sure you are eating a decent amount of fruits and vegetables each day - then worry about the variety.
