6 - veggies a day ! Do the onions and tomatoes I use in my curries add up to the total intake of veggies ?

Question

Do I have to eat 6 other veggies ?

In a curry I use a large or maybe 2 medium onions, 2 - 3 medium tomatoes. Is that good enough - I am talking about just one dish. If there are 2 dishes then the quantity is doubled.

Answer 1

They count only if you eat the veggies, not just using them as seasoning.

Answer 2

I am not aware of any such rule but six does not mean that u can take 2 pieces of one veg and count it as two.

Eat nourishing food with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables being part of it. Chew each morsel at least 32 times. This will activate signal to the brain as soon as u have had enough. Besides this change in eating style, take regular light exercises and brisk walks every day. U will be able to gain/shed all extra weight gracefully and in a reasonable time span. No food or drink in between the food and not more than three meals a day, unless u r diabetic.
