Day 80-81: My Veggies Story

It's funny to see how all along these 81 days we've all been thinking thoroughly about what veggies to eat, which one is good, which one has less carbs, etc etc,... Conclusion being, it seems, that veggies are veggies, no matter how much carbs or sugar they have in it, veggies are good and all have different nutritive contribution, therefore as long as you vary a lot, none can really harm you. That's my understanding of it.


Having said that, I tend to choose my veggies depending on the meal. Usually in the morning I go for veggies that are higher in carbs, like potatoes or anything like it. And I keep for the evening the "greens" or any cabbage.


Now there is one more, and clearly thins one I have no idea what it really is, but in Japan we call it Konyaku. I think it is quite popular for having very very few calories (it is used in some healthy diets against diabetes, if I am not mistaken) and also not much taste! I would usually keep that one for the evening too.


Anyway, all this to say basically that I am quite enjoying my veggies!

  1. Oh god thanks for reminding me of my Konnyaku noodles that has been sitting in my kitchen! I got them from some family friends a while ago and kind of forgot about it. Maybe I'll take some pictures in my next post.

    For me I tend to just fall to my usual tomato/avocado/onions routine in the morning while I'm in a rush. Should probably put more variety to it
