weight loss

Wuahaha, think twice if you think eating salads can help you lose weight!

Eating salads, especially as your meal star, can cause more harm than good, you know? ^.^

Unfortunately, I have to break the news that salads are one of the worst choices for weight loss. Depending on what time of eater you are, salads can be either extremely high in calories or so calorie/substance-deficient, that they couldn’t even sustain a bird.

Let’s start with the first salad scenario, since many of these meals have so much added junk in them that you end up eating as many calories as a double cheeseburger and fries. By the time you start counting the nuts, creamy dressing, cheese, bacon, dried fruit, avocado, croutons, and seeds on top of the lettuce, you may very well have an 800-calorie meal!

Well, actually you can lose weight with eating salads, just that follow the advice below given by Manuel Villacorta, a registered dietitian (RD) and certified specialist.

So what’s your summer slim-down solution? Make your salad the starter to your meal rather than the star. You do need your veggies, so start with a salad and make sure it is not just plain lettuce. Add fresh vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, or your particular favorite. And make it colorful so you get a whole range of antioxidants.

Now, don’t stop there. I always advise clients to also order a sandwich or some soup. This makes a complete meal, which will leave you satisfied, energized, and in weight-loss mode!

Just read a study conducted by the Washington University School of Medicine online.

Ha, I must admit that I agree with its statement that “Weekends are a Hindrance for Overall Weight Loss!” :-)

Results from a Washington University School of Medicine study reveal that weekends are a hindrance for overall weight loss.

Simply put people consume more on weekends – defined as Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the study – than during the week.

Researchers learned through studying 48 adults between the ages of 50 and 60 over a one-year period that volunteers on strict diet and exercise programs tend to lose weight more slowly than expected because they eat more on weekends than during the week.
