Well, here is good news!\u00a0 This is a category of food that is free — or nearly so, especially when you eat them raw.\u00a0 The fiber makes them hard to digest, so it\u2019s difficult to eat enough to give you a big insulin spike.\u00a0 They also fill you up and provide lots of nutrients. \u00a0 Spend some time checking out the produce section of your grocery store and buy some different varieties of vegetables.\u00a0 Here are some suggestions of old standbys and some that might not appear regularly on your table.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
alfalfa sprouts<\/p>\n
artichoke<\/p>\n
asparagus<\/p>\n
bean sprouts<\/p>\n
broccoli<\/p>\n
brussels sprouts<\/p>\n
cabbage<\/p>\n
carrots (raw — they move to yellow-for-caution when cooked.)<\/p>\n
cauliflower<\/p>\n
celery<\/p>\n
cucumber<\/p>\n
eggplant<\/p>\n
green beans<\/p>\n
kale<\/p>\n

summer squash (yellow crookneck and patty-pan)<\/p>\n
sweet potato (surprise!)<\/p>\n
tomatoes<\/p>\n

zucchini<\/p>\n
Beans fall in this category, too.\u00a0 Here are some to choose from.<\/p>\n
black-eyed peas<\/p>\n
baked beans<\/p>\n
kidney beans<\/p>\n
lentils<\/p>\n
chick peas<\/p>\n
pinto beans<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If it isn\u2019t on the list, it is still probably okay since the yellow and red light list is pretty short.\u00a0 However, feel free to ask and I\u2019ll check it out for you.<\/p>\n
