Unlimited Vegetables

Just as a forewarning, I'm going to be talking about bowels, my bowels, and things of the gastrointestinal nature. If you're poop-shy, this entry is not for you.
Vegetable over-kill is alive and well. For example, if you eat too much spinach on a daily basis (I don't have an exact amount) your body will actually struggle to absorb calcium. If you eat too many orange vegetables (carrots, squash, etc.) your eyes and skin may begin to have an orange hue. I learned that the hard way. My hands have been orange since around October of last year.
Perhaps the most common side effect of eating too much of Nature's candy: fiber-overload. Bowel movements, farting, bloating, abdominal discomfort (extreme) are all symptoms of indulging in vegetables. Each day I eat about ten servings of vegetables. Keep in mind, that like fruit, one vegetable isn't one serving; it's two or three.
Recently I've felt like my stomach is massive. I couldn't imagine what I was doing wrong. I mean, I've been working on toning my core and eating right, watching my portions...except those vegetables. I totally let them slide under my radar. I couldn't help but think, "Weight Watchers lets there members have unlimited vegetables." Wrong, so wrong. I come from a history of binge eating. I can binge on anything, M&Ms or cauliflower (thought I'm really thankful it's been the latter). From now on, I'm going to begin practicing my six servings of vegetables a day and see how my body (internally, mostly) reacts.
I also met with my dietician for the first time Monday morning. I'd like to post a little about that, but I have to had into work. Extra shift! :)
