Is there a place to see how to measure cups of vegetables? I’ve been using a dry measuring cup and kind of estimating. Same with meat.

Sara, I have never seen a video like that. Dr. Wahls explains it as 3 cups would be one dinner plate. Estimating really is fine and what most of us do. In the beginning, I measured a few times just to know averages and then I just winged it and tried to eat as many vegetables as I possibly could.

Thank you for your response! I have been over stressed about this stuff and think I should relax. I think I’ve over eaten and would like to get used to 9 cups first.

Sara, slowly increase your vegetables. You do not need to stuff yourself. Dr. Wahls is over 6 feet and can eat 9 cups. Some smaller framed people need less.

Speaking of measuring: in the book, in one place it says 3 cups of cooked leafy greens, and in another, it says 3 cups raw. Those are very different measures, which is the one recommended please?

Stephanie, those are different. I always hear her refer to raw greens as 6 cups and cooked as 3 cups.

What page are you seeing this?

I have the e-book, to the page won't work. In Chapter 4, under 1. Nine Cups of Fruits and Vegetables everyday, broken down as follows: 3 cups tightly packed raw OR cooked leafy greens. 3 cups deeply colored. 3 cups sulfur rich.
In Chapter 5, it says 3 cups cooked per day .../... you could potentially eat 6 cups
So it looks like it's 6 cups raw?

If you can eat 6 cups raw a day, it is great for you. You do not need to stuff yourself though. Eat to comfort.
