Good vegetable recipes

[Run Amok]

So the husband is going on a medically supervised diet and the dinners are only allowed to be 300 cals and contain lean and veggies (not all veggies included) and no carbs. I think my new cookbook with be very helpful.

Yep. You might also look at this book. I suggest it here mostly because it is built around a low calorie diet and dinners are around 300 calories. (snacks are 200 I think)

She does offer up options you'll probably skip like sugar free jello. Bu,t you can just ignore that part and sub in something else. Most of the book is recipes and I think most of them are pretty decent. She relies heavily on veggies and the diet is geared toward people who don't eat vegetables. So maybe it'd be helpful. It's too low cal to do if you are active (it's like 1200 calories if you follow it to a T and she does allow extra if you are heavier) since she doesn't give "extra" for workouts.

I definitely loose weight and don't have cravings when I follow her plan. I think it's pretty sound. But even if if you don't care to read anything she has to say, I think the meal plans could be really helpful for you:

Most...just not bell peppers, tomatoes, winter squash, green beans, or carrots for a few weeks. Anything high in carbs or sugar is out.

Even green bell peppers?

Is it similar to the atkins diet? I wouldn't have guessed green beans! Or winter squash for that matter.

Not really because it's low fat, low carb, and low calorie. Atkins is just low carb.

It's basically the diet they put people who want barbaric surgery on. The dr is the former head of kaiser's bariatric program. Except it's just the diet part.

I says all bell peppers.

[merigayle]

Is he going for surgery or just doing the diet?

Gotta start getting on the cauliflower train! It is so good, and i never liked it before i realized how versatile and delicious it is.

[Magic Microbe]

Just diet

[Run Amok]

That makes my head hurt. That is a tough row to hoe. I hope he finds success with it.

Speaking of Cauliflower,Just got back from this new local place, owed my bro a birthday dinner. I thought he and his SO Maggie would like this place and they did. He is vegetarian. His dish was the hit of the table. Cauliflower and Quinoa Risotto. OMG I am so going to try and replicate. Lots of wild mushrooms, riced cauliflower and quinoa cooked in a super flavorful veggie broth.

Meal replacement shakes 3 times a day. A veggie only salad for lunch and veggies for snacks.

That is the beginning. Food starts adding back in later.

I hope he can manage it and has success. It will take a lot of self control with that low cal.

Report back! But I have another cauliflower in the fridge, maybe tomorrow!

I'm really surprised bell peppers are out ... they seem mostly to be made of water (green beans are a surprise too).

I guess lots of egg white omelets with sauteed onion, spinach, and mushrooms?

[Magic Microbe]

Regular eggs are OK for dinner....but only 2 eggs.

I love roasted cauliflower!  Roasted asparagus is also very good.
