OT: overconsumption of vegetables?

[Guest guest]

I put " OT " in the subject in case this was a bit out of the scope of

the diet for some folks, but I am still curious and didn't know where

else to ask. I know the standard advice is to approach the diet very

slowly, and my diet for the last 10 weeks has been fairly limited to

meats, vegetables, and fruits. I am dairy-, egg-, and nut-free for

the time being.

Is it possible to over consume a single vegetable? I can eat several

squash, or several pounds of carrots or green beans over the course of

a week. Other vegetables (asparagus, spinach, etc.) that I have added

to my diet so far are more so " complimentary " vegetables in my meals.

I have heard dangers of vitamin A toxicity and am aware that carrots

are quite high in it, thus wondering if I should be concerned or not

that I'd be getting too much.

I would imagine most of us would consume a large amount of vegetables,

especially in early stages when options are limited, and carrots

seeming to be one of the first vegetables one can try.

Thanks for entertaining my paranoia. I hope someone will be able to

shed some light on this for me!

Thanks again!
