hi i eat about 2kg of veggies each day............

i eat other things too..... nuts ,fruit,bread but this is what im eating aswell and im wondering if any thing bad can happen from eating this much!

500g raw mushrooms,200g brocc,100g cauli,2 zucchini,large salad of toms,lettus,spinich,capciucm.

stir fry of brussle sprouts,green beans(400g)cabbage,onions and garlic?// im mormal in a weight sence and have been doing this for while?? is it okay?

The only time you'd be eating too many veggies is if you eat these instead of other foods.
Are you a vegetarian?

Other than being a little smelly from all the fibre, nothing bad will happen unless you're short of nurtients because you're eating veggies instead of other foods like eggs, nuts, meat, tofu, beans (proteiny) and not getting enough fat (you need good fats. Trust me. I've had to cut out ALL fatt (like, not all, but for a while less than 15g per day) and it ends up hurting! (and being messy, I flake everywhere)

What else do you eat?

yes im vegetarian........ i eat fruit and veggies soy,beans,bread and nuts ?? i just eat alot of veggies all the time?

Thats ok. How are your protein and iron levels. If you watch those you should be right.
Do you eat tofU?
Are you vegan or vegetarian (will you eat cheese?)

I eat that many veggies all the time.  It helps fill me up, keeps me from feeling hungry, and doesn't add to many calories.  You do have to keep to a balanced diet, but veggies can be part of that.

i think that you are fine - at least your aren't eating to much chocolate right??!!

eat as many as you like - vary them up a bit and you will getting a lot of nutrients from it!

thanks all.......... i eat soy and tofu but not daily...... i eat oatmeal and beans and nuts alot! i just eat alot of veggies and im craving raw mushrooms all the time......... my bloods are fine and i just wanted to make sure that eating like 2-3 kg of vegg each day was okay......... im going to make a stir fry now lol

Yeah I doubt you can eat too many, as long as you're healthy :)
Other than giving you the trots. But congrats on your healthy lifetsyle
I too eat mushrooms every day. And tomato. I prolly eat a punnet of mushrooms and 2-3 tomatoes a day. On top of the normal salads and veggies. I cant believe I used to hate them so much as a kid.

thanks it makes me feel better to know im not the only one!!!!! ill keep eating my mushhies there just to good!

You may want to concider taking a b12 vitamin. Otherwise, you can get all of your nutrients from non-animal food products.

Since I began my diet 5 weeks ago, I've been eating about 10 times the vegetables I used to eat. Most days, I am getting 9 servings of veggies (plus other foods, of course.)

Spinach, tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, cucumbers, radishes, green beans, cabbage, brussell sprouts, onions, zucchini and artichokes seem to be my staples.  (I am not a big carrot fan, but I do eat sugar snap peas about once every 3 weeks.)  My favorite "grain"is bulgur wheat .... and I eat high-fiber, whole grain cereals and sprouted bread, too.

I think you should be fine.
Just focus on getting a variety of colors in your vegetables and make sure to eat an adequate amount of calories that should also come from carbohydrates, proteins and fats. (the good kind. from avocados and nuts, exc..)

It might seem to you that you are eating too many vegetables in comparison to the people around you but most likely it is that other people are not getting enough.

That's a lot of veggies, and I have no idea how you are able to put down several kilos of veggies a day without feeling sick. I also can't even imagine what kind of dent that puts in your wallet.

its ok, the only problem with that is it doesn't really teach much in terms of portion control... it might be helpful for you to start eating smaller portions of everything, because weight control is a lot easier if your stomach capacity isn't that large.

I agree with hockeygirl.  Eating a couple pounds of veggies in a day may keep you feeling full, but you are encouraging a habit of, "I need to eat pounds of food to feel full." 

Another reason to reconsider:  I know someone who ate a lot of veggies for an extended period of time and her skin sort of developed an orange tint from too much beta carotene in her diet!  Best to eat in moderation and eat to live instead of living to eat. 

Also, I don't know if you are eating cooked mushroooms or uncoooked ones, but just a heads up - uncooked mushrooms can be unsafe to eat.

 Store-bought cultivated white mushrooms are usually safe to eat raw and are great in salads or with dip. (from that website)

I've been eating raw white mushrooms for most of my adult life (I'm in my 40s) -- they are filling, have nutritional value, and (to me) are tasty.

if you eat too many vegetables than I certainly do too!!!! When I make salads they are normally around 2-3 pounds (all veggies!!!) Do you have complications from eating too many vegetables, like constipation or perhaps going too much? All in all, if you are not having any weird issues: the more veggies the BETTER!

i recon i might eat even more. i bdont limit myself. theyre sooooooooooo good esp. baked with some oil/salt/herbs

I try to eat a couple of pounds of vegetables a day myself, about 1/2 raw and 1/2 cooked.  Its not really as much as it sounds like folks!  If they were all leafy greens it would be a whole ton of them, but different veggies have different weights.  In fact, one tomato could weigh about 1/2 pound all by itself. 

As far as the orange tint to the skin goes, I've got that glow myself, and it is actually a very healthy thing.  Most people are too pale due to the lack of colorful, anti-oxidant rich foods in their diet (aka fruits and vegetables).  If a person has a yellow-orange tint to the skin, it is indicative of a diet which is giving some protection against cancer, which is a good thing.  Even though my mid-section doesn't get a lot of exposure to the sun, it now retains a nice color instead of being a stark white when compared to parts of the body that get more sun.  I really like being able to have some color without having to over-expose myself to the sun's damaging rays, which cause the skin to age more quickly.

You can't really have too many veggies. Provided you are eating other stuff, too, of course.

Make sure in particular you are getting enough fat in your diet. It would be a waste to eat all those veggies, but not be able to absorb the fat-soluble vitamins in them because you're not eating any fat. Try to have one serving of poly or unsaturated fats with each meal (nuts can count as your fat... as can avocado, or fatty fishes.. or flax seed... or olive oil - use it to stir-fry or drizzle a little as a dressing).

And try to combine a vitamin-C rich choice with your dark green veggies, to up your intake of the iron in them. For example, strawberries on a salad of baby spinach...

I always figure when I crave a certain fruit or veggie, it's probably because I'm low on whatever micronutrient it provides. I went through a few months were I couldn't get enough fruit, for example. It was when I quit smoking, so I figured my body needed the vitamin C to repair itself from all the damage.

Actually, I just checked - apparently mushrooms have 10% of your RDA of vitamin C. (along with a lot of other hard-to-get micronutrients, such as B6, zinc, mangnesium, selenium, etc). If you don't eat a lot of fruit, your body may be instinctively craving the vitamin C in the mushrooms, which helps your uptake not only of iron but also of calcium.
