Dieters should eat salad to lose weight, right? Wrong! Many people eat salad for weight loss and gain weight instead. Why? Because many of the salad ingredients they add are full of fat and calories.
And worse, the weight loss salad they create isn’t big enough or satisfying enough to keep them full. So they eat again soon after and they don’t lose weight. Replacing a high-calorie, heavy meal with a healthy salad is a great way to slim down.
But you have to use diet-friendly salad ingredients. Those are salad toppings that are packed with nutrients, full of flavor, naturally lower in fat, and properly portioned. Use this list to choose your favorite salad ingredients, then experiment at your next meal.
