America's HCG believes that regardless of whether you hop onto the HCG regimen or not, one thing is for sure: if you can eat something healthy, and it tastes and feels like something unhealthy, then by all means, give it a try!

This article, written by Nicci Micco, focuses on the health aspects of five veggies: potatoes, cauliflower, kale, spaghetti squash and brussels sprouts.  Each paragraph contains links to recipes relevant to that particular veggie.
