A Pound of Vegetables

I read on another website where a person starts off each day with a pound of vegetables.  This seemed like a lot, but I thought I would give it a try.  So along with my usual breakfast the other day, I ate a pound of carrots afterwards.

First, it really didn't seem like that much to eat.  A pound of vegetables sounds scarier than it really is.  Second, I felt it helped even out my energy levels a little better than usual.

Third, this newer study (described in this press article) shows that vegetable but not fruit consumption significantly reduces the risk of diabetes.  Those with the highest consumption of vegetables had an almost 30 percent reduction in their risk of diabetes.  It pays to eat those veggies.

Question is (as usual) if the veggie-eaters had a far more healthy lifestykle on the whole... eating more veggies usually tends to mean eating less refined sugars. After a pound of carrots I wouldn't be interested in a doughnut anyways.

(allthough I must be fare it's a good thing Crispy Cremes are not sold around here)
