So let's bring up the question, is it actually possible to gain weight on fruits and vegetables?

Well, it really depends on the amount that you're consuming and the frequency.

But if we talk about vegetables, it's very likely you're going to ever gain weight

in vegetables.

Now, you might be thinking of potato, right, because that's a vegetable.

Well, I'm not talking about potatoes.

Of course, you're going to gain weight on potatoes, especially if you cook them because

the more you cook them, the more sugar that's released, and that's going to create a problem

with blood sugars.

But if you just take vegetables in general, leafy greens, I mean, think about this.

And cups of a salad, for example, with other mixed vegetables would only give you 10.8

carbs.

That is an incredibly low amount of carbs.

But seven grams of that is fiber.

So we're really only getting 3.8 net carbs, extremely low, very low sugar, mostly fiber.

So you just can't gain weight on this because the fiber doesn't affect insulin.

So the situation is, we have so much bulk and fiber, you wouldn't be able to eat that

much to get that many carbs in to gain weight.

I mean, we're talking about seven cups right here, and that's only 10 grams.

So you're not going to gain weight on vegetables, okay?

Now, you may get bloating or fluid retention, which could result in weight gain, not fat

gain.
