Starchy vs. Non Starchy Vegetables on a Low Carb Diet

Vegetables are a healthy part of your low carb diet, but not all veggies are created equal. For the best weight loss results, you want to eat plenty of non-starchy vegetables and limit starchy ones.

The challenge is telling them apart!

In this video, I share three tricks you can use to tell if a veggie is starchy or non-starchy.

You'll learn...
