Cutting carbs has increased my appetite for fruits & veggies.
Go figure :)
Actually I eat more veggies than ever, since I’ve been on Keto, especially Avocados (yes I know it’s a fruit!) and Brussels Sprouts, I generally grill a bunch of Brussels Sprouts with my steak, yummy!
“Cutting carbs has increased my appetite for fruits & veggies.”
I have had the same result.
Before I went on a paleo diet and lost a lot of weight, I still liked salads and most veggies and fruits.
When I finished the paleo routine, we went on the Mediterranean diet. A couple of veggies or fruits are eaten with every meal. She prepares great fresh salads for our dinners. She eats the salads with her meal. I eat my share at the end of the meal.
Every meal has fruit and veggies with some good protein.
My wife keeps snack-able fruits, veggies, almonds and walnuts on a counter in our kitchen. We pass that counter before we get to the refrigerator and cabinet with other foods. So we snack when hungry, eating the fruits/veggies/nuts on that counter.
We never diet nor fast. My weight is basically the same plus/minus 3 pounds for 5 going on 6 years. My wife weighs the same as when we were married over 50 years ago.
Her lab values, according to our FP are like a female athlete in her 30/40’s.
My lab values are similar to a 40/50 year old guy in good shape.
We enjoy our glass of wine with our dinners.
fruits are carbs
many veggies are carbs
