Nope.....eating too many calories on a consistent basis got you to 330lbs.
Wow jmule24 you mean to tell me that eating too many calories makes you fat. Man am I glad you enlightened us with you overwhelming health and nutrition knowledge. I can't believe that after 44 years on this earth I am just learning this now. It makes so much sense when someone picks one line out of a response, highlights it, takes it out of context and uses it to make themselves seem so much more knowledgeable than the poster. Of course it was the calories bright boy so from now on, to clarify, eating too much bad food and only bad food with no vegetables, for me, equaled too many calories which in turn equaled becoming overweight. I just feel bad that I didn't go into such detail in my one paragraph response to the original posters comment about their not liking salad and veggies. I should have more succinctly summed up the cumulative knowledge of diet and weight loss facts such as too many calories leading to weight gain in my one paragraph response to cover all basses of criticism so you wouldn't have to take your time to educate us in these caloric matters.0 -

I don't think you have to eat only things you don't like to loose weight, but I do think you should make an effort to eat more of the things like vegetables (all kinds) that can help you loose weight. I know for me eating only things I liked (pizza, burgers, fried everything, cheese, sweets, chips etc.) is what got me to 330 lbs. For me I had to grow up, get some discipline, explore healthy eatingeat things I wasn't excited about, stop drinking whatever I wantedand eating whenever cravings hit me. This change in attitude helped me to eat more vegetables, many times I felt like the kid at the dinner table who couldn't get up until I finished my _________ (insert vegetable here) and now after loosing over one hundred pounds I am thankful I did and it makes me appreciate vegetables that much more. I know the O.P. stated that this was about salad and no you don't have to only eat salad, matter of fact you don't ever have to eat a "salad" but I think it would be very hard to achieve the goal of a health weight and a healthier lifestyle without having vegetables, fruit and lean protein as the main ingredients to this recipe.
Whoa....whoa....slow down.....take a deep breath. I keep reading through your post and can't help but notice you fail to mention anything about calories what so ever. You simply choose to say pizza, burgers, etc made you fat, and then magically lost weight because you started eating vegetables.
Unfortunately, there are many people on here who still think that is true. How come I'm still overweight? I eat all the "good" healthy" veggies" fruits" like everyone tells me to do but golly gee shucks.....no weight loss..........

Most of the vegetables I get are leafy greens, peppers, and onions. I wouldn't have eaten any of these a few years ago. When I was in high school, my vegetables were mostly peas and corn. I am still quite a picky eater and won't eat certain vegetables, but it was good for me to try to branch out.
I like those veggies too, but those are on the bottom of the list of delicious veggies! Girl, eat you some zucchini, roasted broccoli and carrots, cauliflower, tomatoes, cucumbers, mushrooms, green beans and artichokes! Hope you continue to branch out!0
