Is butternut squash considered one of the included veggies to eat on the diet? I noticed spaghetti squash was allowed but not sure about butternut.


Hi Dee,
butternut sqash is allowed too. It is also a vegetable which is regarded as a pumpkin. Butternut squash has a nutty (reason for the name), sweet taste and is an excellent source of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium and fiber. It is a great source of vitamin A too.

You may toast, roast, puree it or mash it in your cabbage soup.

All the best,
Gabriela
