Vegetables to Limit
The vegetables to limit on the Perfect 10 Diet lack fiber and are starchy in
nature. Consumption of these vegetables leads to rapid sugar absorption, which
can raise insulin levels and mess up other hormones if eaten in large amounts.
• Carrots (consume only small amounts, and make sure they’re raw—once
they’re cooked, they climb up the glycemic index)
• Sweet potatoes
