Why are there certain “approved” vegetables for the Lean & Green Meal?
All vegetables promote healthful eating; however, during the weight-loss phase of your plan, we do suggest that you avoid “higher carbohydrates” vegetables in order to enhance your weight-loss results. Once you transition to the maintenance phase of the program, we encourage you to include ALL vegetables for long-term health. Our Green Options List will help you identify the relative carbohydrates levels of these approved vegetables. *NOTE: Carrots, corn, potatoes, peas, onions, edamame, and Brussels sprouts are not recommended during the weight-loss phase of your Medifast Program, but you can include them in your diet again once you transition to the maintenance phase.
