[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tell me more about the cruciferous vegetables— what exactly and how do you eat them? I’m vegetarian but interested in dropping eggs and dairy. But I get bad gas,  so wondering if you have any problem with that?[/quote]

It was definitely a huge change, and of course the first months I was gassy. But it settled down, and now I actually can't process milk products well. I eat large amounts of kale, broccoli, spinach every day. I usually just throw a few cups into a saucepan every meal. It cooks down to much less. But I definitely use large amounts of veggies as a way to create volume without calories.

A typical day for me now (I am still in weight loss mode so it is low calorie)

Breakfast: oatmeal (about 60 grams, with 30 calorie almond milk)
Lunch: Huge saucepan of kale, onions, mushrooms, peppers, carrots, etc; about half a package of tofu (usually I air fry it with spices to give it texture and flavor); and sometimes some "pretend" cheese for more flavor
Dinner: Basically the same
And then some snacks. Usually fruit. Every so often I'll have something more substantial like non-dairy yogurt with frozen fruit.[/quote]
