Problems can happen when individuals attempt to eat green vegetables as a staple (often with butter or other fat), or worse: raw salads with vegetable oil dressings.

I think broccoli is really good when steamed, and would have no trouble eating that every day (with salt, cayenne pepper, and perhaps coconut oil). But I'm sticking with the raw kale now for the time being; I'm somewhat apprehensive about eating non-native starch (even kale is bit starchy; this is apparent when steamed.)I drink raw milk daily and try to eat broccoli daily. Also a carrot daily and a leaf salad daily with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar
Depends what you are missing.Vegetables are overrated, adequate calories and macronutrients are more important.
I'd pick broccoli over beans.They may not be necessary, I like them when I feel like munching on something but don’t want many calories. I’ve been wondering if my cooked broccoli I have so often is doing any harm. Might switch to green beans.
I'm enjoying eating various veges too, and my sense is they mostly do me good. I probably get a little gas gas from time to time too, but nothing like what I used to get when I ate lots of relatively whole grain every day.Just "regular" vegetables, onions, peppers, garlic, parnsips, carrots, courgette, mushrooms. Small amounts of a mix variety.
Lately I have been eating more vegetables, like mushrooms and zucchini.Depends what you are missing.
Vegetables can be good sources of several essential minerals. It's quite possible to get deficient in some of those minerals if you just focus on macronutrients and NaCl.Vegetables are still overrated in society, but they can be great carriers for salt and saturated fats.
What nutrients are you thinking of? I rely on milk, meat and dark chocolate for my minerals.Vegetables can be good sources of several essential minerals. It's quite possible to get deficient in some of those minerals if you just focus on macronutrients and NaCl.
They may not be necessary for everyone, but they can often be useful, especially for those of us who have difficulties with some of the other food sources of those minerals. Anytime I skimp on veges for a few days tends to turn into a bad week.

And they don't seem to cause any problems when consumed raw.For me, vegetables are much like other foods that can be problematic. If they're cooked well enough and eaten with copious amounts of butter, they seem to cause no problems.

Milk for calcium
Meat for zinc
Dark chocolate for magnesium and copper.
Meat, milk and chocolate is a good combination. You get all the major minerals (calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium) and the milk and chocolate help to inhibit excessive iron absorption from the meat.Just came here to say that on a diet of dark chocolate raw (likely 100% A2) milk and organic grass-fed lean beef, which at my current appetite clocks in around 100g protein, I feel quite stable. I've been eating this way for about two months now, more or less religiously, consuming the vast majority of those calories during the daylight hours. Idk, I instinctively crave meat, and milk and chocolate pair really well. I tried to substitute half the chocolate I was using in my recipe for vanilla extract and the milk tasted hollow. Methinks my original recipe for a gallon of choco milk was half cup dark choc and a cup sugar.

I fry it in cocoa butter, which gives me healthy saturated fat like stearic acid.

They certainly do for me.
