Do you eat salads for weight loss? Must Read

Those seeking rapid fat loss and wanting to lose weight fast should strongly reconsider the salads they are eating for quick weight loss. I believe this so strongly that I am going to provide you three “salad” based weight loss tips so you can be much better educated on this subject.
It’s just about impossible to gain weight by eating raw vegetables. I mean seriously, you’d have to eat a LOT of veggies.
BUT…
Salads are a completely different story. It seems like just about everyone thinks when it’s time to shed a few pounds they need to start breaking out the salads. Thing is, MOST salads you find at restaurants and fast-food joints are loaded with more fat and calories than a big ole burger. If you’re eating a salad topped with cheese, bacon and ranch dressing, well, you’re not helping your goal of losing weight any easier.
Next time you’re thinking about ordering a salad when you’re eating out follow these three tips:
1) Ask for the dressing on the side and dip your tongs in the dressing and then pick up some salad. It gives you just enough flavor and keeps the calories under control. Also, while you are chewing your food put your fork down. Do not pick it back up until you are ready to put more food in your mouth. This is a little trick that not only helps you control your intake from a potentially unhealthy salad, but it applies to any of your meals and any type of food you may be eating.
2) Choose a salad that has grilled protein in it such as chicken or fish. The lean protein will help increase the thermic effect of the meal thus burning more calories. Many salads have deep fried chicken added to them which adds a minimum of 200 calories to your so called “healthy” salad. Don’t be afraid to ask the waiter or waitress to substitute the protein choice. Every restaurant has grilled chicken or fish. If it isn’t on the menu ask them if you could substitute the fried chicken or fish for grilled chicken or fish. They will be glad to oblige with that request and 99% of the time you won’t even be charged extra for it.
3) Ask to hold the cheeses and bacon bits. In place of these ask for more fibrous vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower. The increase in fiber will help burn calories as well as control any rise in blood sugars in case you happened to sneak some bread before your salad arrived. Some keys to losing weight is controlling your total calorie intake as well as controlling the types of calories you consume. Quick weight loss isn’t rocket science, but you do need to make some sound decisions. If you want to lose weight fast then eating high calorie salads thinking they are healthy isn’t the answer. Be informed about what you put in your mouth and you will find that you will achieve quick weight loss and permanent weight loss.
