Have a salad with your meal

May 8th, 2007          Email This Post       

We see many restaurant offering salads now. However, they are mostly just tossed meals with extra greens!

Please note, an actual salad is vegetables – cucumber, lettuce, pepper, carrot, alfalfa, kale, tomato…… and NOT egg, chicken, meat, etc… If it has those, its a tossed meal. If course, you can mix your salad and your meal, but it’s no longer a salad!

What are the benefits of salads?

• Veggies with every meal provide needed fiber to get undigested food waste out of your body.
• They also provide lots of nutrients and enzymes, if eaten raw, that will aid in digestion.
• Salads are help fill you up and look wonderful and colorful on the dinner table.
• They can be eaten as a completely healthy and guiltless light meal.

And don’t worry about them making you gain weight. If you look at Weight Watchers, vegetables are ZERO points!
