High greens diet

[VeryBerry]

Is anyone here doing a high greens diet?
What do you eat and how much?
What benefits did you personally experience from eating lots of greens?

I turned yellow after 1 month on high greens!!

My intake was about 48 ounces a day! (though I noticed when I was getting Vitamin A retinal in my diet that it helped me handle more greens without the "yellowing" side affect, presumably since Vit A must be necessary to make the conversion of B.C. to A.

However, I have also read that too much Beta Caratine (hence greens) can be bad, though I do not recall why of hand.

I don't think too much beta carotene from foods can do any harm since your body discards what you don't need. On the other hand too much vitamin A can be deterimental.

I eat a high fruit, high greens diet. I eat about 32 ounces of greens a day. It works great for me!

It would be impossible to get the necessary amount of calories needed in one day eating solely greens. I eat a high fruit, high veg, low fat diet and this fills all my requirements. I eat at LEAST 2 lbs of lettuce daily. I would consider this "high greens," but I wouldn't do it without the two other factors.
