Thank you for this, habs. I have been avoiding green beans during induction. Your remark sent me to the chart in the front of the Updated Adkins book, and sure enough, green beans have 4.9 carbs per half cup. As compared to cauliflower @ 4.4 (6 flowerettes) and broccoli @ 3.9 per half cup.

Thank you for calling my attention to this. I'd gotten into a rut and a mindset thinking I needed to avoid green beans.

BTW: Do you understand how this subtracting of fiber numbers from carb numbers works? Is it 1 for 1? My son mentioned this to me the other day. It is a topic I apparently didn't retain as I was speed reading thru the book.

Thanks again for your help. I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I'm rushed today and can't possibly scan Carlo's entire previous thread for this piece of information.

If in doubt, just cut down on the portion size on your veggies to manage your carbs.One thing I like is a classic green bean and mushroom salad, using cooked beans and fresh sliced 'shrooms in a vinagrette.It's a great combo.
