Can You Lose Weight By Eating Salad?

Salads are no doubt a wonderful way to lose weight. They are full of natural fiber and are packed with various vitamins and minerals.They can be made protein rich by adding nuts, raw paneer or tofu chunks. Having a salad an hr before the main meal assures that you would not overeat and indulge in snacking.

When I started giving cucumber and beet in salad, he actually thanked me for saving all his munch meals. He used to be so full with fiber that he never thought of having any snack before or after the lunch.

Salads made in the right way would help you avoid taking empty calories and hence achieve your weight-loss goals.

To make salads ideal for a healthy lifestyle, my collection of salads is made using fresh ingredients and minimized the creamy cheese based sauces. The add on like sauces make the salads salty, heavy and full of carbs and definitely not an ideal diet to have on weight loss. These Veg Salads are made with a gentle twist to try new combination of carbs and proteins. A few are curd based as curd is a probiotic and keeps you full for longer. Source [1].
