with fat and protein in order to slow down the sugar release in our body. Does

the same thing happen with salad? Sometimes I eat tomatos or gabbage for snack,

without eating anything else. Is it ok?

+++Hi Marisa. It is better for digestion and absorption if you always eat

veggies with plenty of fat, and also eat them cooked, which breaks down the

cellulose in them so the nutrients are more available.
