Unlimited Carbs

[forrest]

CT at Tnation says that you can eat as much green leafy veggies and cucumbers that they don't count as carbs or calories

Poliquin's list is :
Broccoli
Lettuce
Cabbage
Green beans
Asparagus
Cucumber
Spinach
Zucchini
Cauliflower
Colored peppers
Eggplants
Garlic
Onions
Mushrooms
Palm hearts
Spaghetti squash
Water Chestnuts


Are you buying it? Lets discuss

Agreed and not just carbs, for the most part there are little or no calories at all.

most of that list I agree with, there are some like peppers etc that I know people need to pay attention to or they go overboard

When I diet during the summer, I eat unlimited veggie carbs all the time. Its the only way I can get full and not be starving after some meals. Out of 6 meals, I eat veggies in 3 of them. mostly colored peppers,cucumbers,onions, and green beans.. Always throw 2 cups of peppers/onions in eggwhites.

I never counted carbs from green leafy veggies when on a low carb diet. Its just not necessary.
