I added beans to my meals at about 8 weeks out - now I eat some lettuce, beans, banana's, apples, etc. to almost every meal. even eating peanut butter too. You can start to add about now - and it's good to do so. talk your nut.

Peanut butter is really not a food group, its a fat.. I would tread lightly with it.

I was super focused on protein, protein, protein for about the first six months. After that I added fruits, and some veg.

I did have some veg at almost every meal early on in the forms of sauces compliments, etc.

If you need recipes I'd look at crock pot stuff (A Year of Slow Cooking), eggface, and cooking light.

I'm 6 weeks out. I tried a strawberry this weekend and did well. I am going to try to add soft veggies and some fruit to change things up.

Thanks for the replies! I did try a bit of mandrine orange tonght with good results. It was the kind in a cup, Dole I believe. I figured it was tender. Maybe in a couple of days I'll try strawberries. I plan on protein mostly, but having a bite or two of a veggie or fruit to go with would be a good break.

Blessings,

complex carbs like sweet potato, butternut squash are my standards. Just a bit, but it's all I need!
