Thanks for the post, I make all greens the same way, I get big bags of chopped greens, put a small amount of water in a big pot, like barely 1/4 inch, let it boil, then add as much greens as will fit, cover, stir and reduce to medium for 5 mins. Sometimes I just let them sit covered off heat to cook some more. But I have turnip greens, collard, kale that way. I add some red wine vinegar before eating them. I find them really filling, more filling than most vegetables.
Today I just went off MWL but still stayed mostly there. Now my stomach hurts which never happens.
Breakfast: collard greens, oatmeal, blueberries
Lunch: collard greens, chili/rice, bananas - this is where I went wrong, I ate an hour later than normal because I was busy, and this made me too hungry, so when I was done eating I was still hungry and had some cookies. Then more cookies, peppermint patties, some cheezits
Dinner: potato fajitas (very low oil), collard greens, then cocoa puffs with rice milk
I found another person to listen to on youtube about wfpb eating. There's always something to listen to about how this is healthy for you. It's a lesson I keep learning that I can't wait to eat past my normal eating times or I will get too hungry.
