Thanks for all the wonderful information on this site. It sure is a lot to take in ! I am on Day 3 and hate to admit that I am not a real veggie lover. Any advice on how to keep up with the recommended portions? Is drinking tomato juice acceptacble along with eating a smaller portion of veggies? And, finally, one last question regarding beans...I have never eaten anything other than green/yellow wax beans and "deep browned beans", which I now know are bad. Any suggestions on what type of beans/recipes I can try to ease my way into the bean world?? Again, THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE HELP :)

You can have one cup of V8 or tomato juice for a vegetable serving, it ca n't be used for all your veggie servings.
Are you a salad eater?
Hi. Sara gave you some great ideas.
Here are a few more:
* add chick peas or other beans to salads
* veggie strips dipped in hummus or salad dressing make a great veggie snack
*English (seedless) cucumbers with a smear of lf Aloutte cheese
* sautee some sliced peppers, onions, mushrooms, or any combination to keep on hand for omelettes and to have as a 'topping' on burgers or steaks.
Does this help?
It doesn't matter if the beans are canned or dried. Certainly canned beans are more convenient. Just read the labels to make sure there are no added sugars in the ingredient list.
