Eno, thank you so much for such an informative reply! I suspected that the salt would be a no-no, but it's good to know that I can have it for lunch occasionally if I'm craving a hot and hearty meal. I'm not much of a cabbage fan (unless it's wrapped around big greasy cabbage rolls!) but I'll give your sauteeing idea a shot.

I know I'm going to have to get creative with my vegetable intake if I'm going to make this work. I'm pretty sure I'll want to gouge my eyes out with a cucumber spear if that's all I eat for weeks at a time.

I've been lurking here for a week or so and I'm incredibly impressed with your stats. It's great to see someone who has succeeded stay active on the boards! Thanks again!
