What happened to my ‘5-a-day’ servings of fruit and veg?
The Low-Carb Plan is not all about burgers and bacon. Even on Carb Reduction, the first phase of the programme, those 20 grams of carbohydrate should come from lower carb vegetables such as spinach, kale, watercress and broccoli. A 180g serving of broccoli, for example, provides 5 grams of carbs – and one serving of a fruit or vegetable is defined as 80 grams. So choose nutrient-rich, low carb vegetables and you’ll still reach your 5-a-day.
