Fruit & Veg in LE Diet

[atomic sagebrush]

Oh, I dunno I got the skinning thing from on her someplace in regards to apples. I'm kind of new. I've been skinning mine..

That was something we considered for a few minutes and I've since dropped it. Some people want to do it, I don't think it hurts anything either way.

I was told that peeling the skin off pears, apples and cucumbers etc was an old school FGD thing that was recommended on here when this forum first started but now its not necessary as we all need to be getting some potassium somewhere? Especially if (like me) I am quite restrictive in general? I have an apple/pear sometimes both with my muller rice and caramel snack a jacks as lunch and dont peel them x

No, it was something I considered and even recommended back at the start of the site particularly for people who were trying to blend IGD and LE, but after a few weeks I realized it was simply unneccesary and especially so for anyone who had possibly cut back too far in other areas.

why is pasta in a different group then rice? I keep eating pasta everyday to bring in empty carbohydrates and calories but now I am seriosly wondering to change it to rice...

houseofboys - pasta is no different than rice as long as it's in your limits. I eat pasta all the time on LE, just usually much smaller portions than I'm used to!

Pasta is more nutrient dense than rice and has more protein

You can have it definitely, I did eat it frequently when I got my daughter as well.

I am eating around 400 cal per day coming from pasta. It has no sodium and no potassium. I am rethinking my diet since I heard that Kate Middleton is pregnant and did a fruit and veg only diet. Atomic any ideas?..
