Salad Diet - Page 2 - Salad diet steps

Here are the 4 simple steps:

1. Replace some of your meals with low calorie salads

By replacing some of your meals with salads you will lower your calorie consumption. To see exactly how much – visit calorieking.com and use their excellent database to find out caloric values for different foods and drinks.

Start by choosing salad for a meal at least three times per week, and work up to including salad almost every day. Not only you will lose weight, but your blood pressure and cholesterol levels may also decrease thanks to all the fresh veggies you'll be eating.

2. Limit the sweet products that contain sugar

Products that contain sugar have extremely high caloric value. For example: a milk chocolate is equal to 500 - 600 kcal. That is more than 1 / 4 of your Daily Calorie Needs.

One other thing is to replace sugar containing drinks with “light” or “diet” drinks. For example: a can of coke has 143 kcal. A can of diet coke contains 1 kcal.

3. Limit the fried foods

Fried foods have high caloric value because they absorb fat during the fry. On some occasions fried version of one and the same product contain double of the calories of non-fried version.

4.Cut the junk food

By junk food we mean almost all fast food as burgers, sandwiches, pizza, etc.

An example: a McDonald's cheeseburger (4 oz) contains 300 kcal. And that is just one cheeseburger which is insufficient to sate you. One vary vary big vegetarian salad is about 150 kcal and will fill your belly so good that you will have trouble walking :-).

Tomorrow, before you go to work - make yourself a Quick salad. It will take less than 5 minutes.

Some notes:

Don't expect salad diet to help you lose weight fast. It is a light diet that is ment to be used for a long period of time and to provide small but constant and easy results. Loosing weight fast cat be dangerous to your health.

Try not to lower your calorie intake by more than 1000 calories below Daily Calorie Needs. Doing so may invoke the bodies starvation response, which can lead to the Yo-yo dieting effect. Try to gradually lower calories. A sudden drop (such as 500-600 calories or more) can cause your metabolism to slow down.
