I have recently made this recipe that was features on the DH page. It is sooo good. It calls for 2 cups of cauliflower, 1 tbsp of coconut oil and I used the lower fat unsweetened coconut milk…along with spices. Is this something that one could have everynight on the ULC week? I know typically, or heard cauliflower is more carbohydrate rich than other vegetables?Secondly are all vegetables OK...for instance on ULC week is a large salad ok daily?
The green veggies and the cauliflower recipe is ok. Now a large salad…depends on what is in the salad. Carrots are high glycemic not good. If its lettuce or spinach you're ok.

Cauliflower has two usable carbs per cup. Use a nutrition tracker like FitDay or MyFitnessPal so you can input recipes and see if they fit into your ULC days or not.

However, with carrots it takes a lot to be significant. The standard portion for the GI scale is 50 g of carbohydrate... that's about 4 cups of chopped carrots. That's one of the criticisms of the GI scale, doesn't account for portion size. A much more significant scale, as Kiefer has pointed out, is the insulin index.
