Can you eat salads everyday.

Green salads? Everyone else is saying be careful of the high calorie dressings, I'm gonna go the other route (always the contrarian...) Don't be overly reliant on eating ONLY green salads, as the calorie count is so low generally speaking (those bag salads at the grocery store for example tend to be under 100 calories per bag (4 servings)) that if you only eat plain salads, there's no way you'd be eating enough calories for the day. Salads make fantastic sides or appetizers, but be careful when you eat them as full meals, make sure you aren't shortchanging yourself on calories, which can sabotage weight loss just as much as overeating.

Adding meat to it helps out too.

lol of course? whats the possible draw back?

as everyone said, as long as its a healthy salad, not bathed in dressing, and your otherwise meeting your nutritional needs for the day then eat as much salad as you like.

try eating salads daily for three months and then stop. your intestines will let you know that eating salads was a good idea lol.

Salads are great! You can be very imaginative with them. They are also a great vehicle for healthy fats such as olive oil, fish, and avocado. Sprinkle on some brown rice, or add some chick peas. Diced chicken, sliced apples, nuts, seeds...the possibilities are endless. Also there are a lot of artisan lettuces available now, even in Walmart. You can get a lot of food, for fewer calories. I literally crave salads!

How do you like P90X?

I eat salad every night for dinner. Romaine lettuce (sometimes spinach), 25 grams of goat cheese, Half a bell pepper, cucumber, purple onion, 6 cherry tomatoes, raw mushrooms,115-150 grams of chicken up in that biotch and I'm set. Sometimes I throw some salmon up in there instead of chicken. No need to ruin a good fresh salad with dressing either. Been eating it religiously for 2 years. Still not tired of it.

You may eventually get "burned out" if you normally like "variety", but definitely not bad. I have a brother who lost an EXTREME AMOUNT of weight eating salads every day and he has managed to have kept his weight off for a couple years now.

One good thing about the salads is you have a flexibility to change so many ingredients, which will give you a different flavor every time. Personally, since I started my diet over 18 months ago, I had salad twice per day, every day as part of my main meal. You can add grilled turkey breast or shrimp or salmon as protein part.

You can have lemon flavor and garlic flavor. Bottom line, you can have salad and enjoy it without being bored (as some people state in this forum)

And the best part for me to see my cholesterol level down from 250 to 188 in 1 year without taking a single prescription pill. Hell, I am 50 years old and my Triglycerides are under 45 (where man my age normal should be 140). Even doctor asked me what the hell I eat to have TRG of the 20 year old.

EAT SALAD!!!

just remember lettuce is considered water not a veggie..that's where a lot of people get messed up. If you are talking about a real salad..your main ingredients will be extra veggies (carrots, onion, cabbage etc) and some added green for roughage.

So what your saying is.......

Lettuce counts as water?

Yes.
Water is used to grow lettuce.
Lettuce retains said water.
Lettuce = water.

Salads are great. There's so much you can add to them. The possibilities are endless. The only thing you have to watch out for is the dressing

In terms of calorie loss and following what everyone else is saying about the add-ons, yes, I think it's OK. My preference is to always use salads or green beans to get in my required veggies for the day and I have trouble finding easy, different colored veggies (that I like, of course) to add to my menu.
