We do most of our grocery shopping online and when the delivery guy brings one bag after the other loaded with vegetables, I sometimes think that we’ll never get through that amount of veggies. But within 3-4 days, the fridge looks empty again.
It’s such a shame that low carb/LCHF has as reputation for being a diet where you don’t eat vegetables. Personally, I’ve never eaten so many vegetables before in my life. I see even folks doing ketogenic diets (very low carb diets) and they often eat lots of leafy greens too. Not many people thrive on a diet with no vegetables. At least not in the long term.
Or maybe, that’t not entirely true because I have had periods in my life where I couldn’t stand eating vegetables. Those were the periods where I ate a lot of sugar and crap. When your taste buds are adjusted to the synthetic sweet taste, real food like vegetables taste bad. So if someone tells me they don’t like vegetables, I always ask them if they eat a lot of sugar. And that goes for kids too, by the way.
