Instructions

• 1

  Clean out your cupboards and stock your refrigerator with healthy greens. Success on a green vegetable diet means that you have to eliminate any temptations and have everything that you need on hand. Some options include spinach, lettuce, cucumbers, broccoli and artichokes. When hunger strikes, you can quickly grab something to eat rather than go out and purchase something new, which can lead you to make a poor decision.

• 2

  Eat a large salad for every meal. A salad based on green vegetables is filling. Use a light salad dressing, if need one.

• 3

  Use a juicing machine to increase your calories. Because a green vegetable diet is low in calories, you need to maximize your caloric intake. If you juice your greens---removing the filling fiber---you'll be able to eat more calories, which is essential for long-term success.

• 4

  Try a spiralizer for a pasta-like texture. A spiralizer cuts food into long thin spirals. This can turn a cucumber or zucchini into something that resembles pasta, giving you more variety.
