Okay, everyone knows that when it's time to work on weight loss that inevitably you'll need to make some changes in one?s diet, hence the need for salads or tons of fruit.
Of course, it?s easy as pie to peel a banana or grab an apple and enjoy the delicious flavors of these and several other fruits without the hassle of preparation. However, everyone knows that we still need our vegetables as some nutrients which may be lacking in fruits are very much more present in these substances.
In addition, for a healthy diet (and consequently a healthy weight loss), it just can't be plain ice-berg lettuce and pre-manufactured dressings. Most of these items may perhaps do more harm than good considering the synthetic ingredients in them.
That considered here are some recipes that could work.
Great choices for base vegetables for salads are Lettuce, Cabbage and Kale. You can augment these with fruit vegetables like Cucumber, bell peppers, tomatoes etc or root vegetables like carrots or plain celery.
I once read somewhere that one?s success at using Salads for healthy living and weight loss hinges on the dressing used. Therefore, here are some tasty dressing recipes that could be used as well
1. Tom-Avo
-2 organic Roma or Hot House tomatoes
-2 big Avocadoes (pitted)
-2 tsp orange juice (freshly squeezed) 2 oz of water
Serving Suggestion: Chop some Red Cabbage say a cup or less finely and sprinkle into the soup
2. The Real Ranch Dressing:
-2 medium sized tomatoes
-2 young coconuts
-1/2 tsp of salt
-6 organic sun dried tomatoes
-I stalk of Celery
-1 tbs of lemon juice (optional)
Blend all and use as a dressing for a lettuce based salad. (Note: I recommend using one base leafy vegetable at a time, if desired a fruit veggie like cucumbers or organic bell peppers can be used along with shredded carrots)
Guacamole:
-2 avocadoes
-2 medium tomatoes
-1/2 orange
-Sea salt to taste
Process everything in your food processor. I would say this can be an excellent first food for a child in the evenings. Serve in lettuce leaves or largely cut cabbage leaves a la Tortilla chips and dips.
Dress Down Dressing:
-1/2 lemon
-2-3 avocadoes
-Sea Salt to taste
-1/2 cup water
With the suggestions above, now that you may have to include more salads and vegetables into your diet for a safe and healthy weight loss, these delicious recipes will ensure that you not only enjoy how you make your meals but most importantly that they taste good.
So, yes Salads can be implemented into your diet plan for weight loss?and naturally at that.
