A member asked:

I eat around 12 portions of vegetables as day, can this be bad for me?

Likely not: it is very unusual to have an issue with this, you cant overdose on veggies, some common side effects might include gas and bloating. rarely constipation. otherwise continue with your healthy eating pattern and avoid simple sugars.
