Phase 1 says unlimited “raw” veggies Throughout the day but silly question can I not cook them if I want? does that change them? I’m thinking mushrooms and spinach which I like to cook. Thanks:)

Cooking does change them. that’s why you can have RAW onions, but NOT cooked onions because cooking caramelizes them =sugar. You can have unlimited raw mushrooms but cooking them equals 2 cups

@albemarle even if you cook them you have to measure the 2 cups before not after cooking

Once you cook them they become select and not unlimited.

I have scleroderma and struggle with swallowing raw, so cook most veggies. Is this why I don’t have fast weight loss
