    8. Eliminated non-essential foods. For instance, I used to have oil and vinegar on salads and one day I dropped the oil and didn't miss it. Dressings can kill the dietary benefits of a salad so choose carefully--lemon juice is great too.


    Sounds great, except for #8 - you absorb more nutrients from your salad with the addition of a little bit of healthy fat.

    #8 gave me pause too. As long as you are getting enough fat elsewhere in your diet it's no big deal, but I find salads without some type of fat are not satiating.

    Thanks for this. I agree particularly with #2. I was in denial for about 6 months...started doing some "unsustainable" projects and predictibly got frustrated. I'm taking a close look at what is reasonable for my family and work schedule that will be "sustainable" and portable (I have to travel/move a lot for my job). Thanks again and good luck!
