How to Lose Weight Without Dieting & Get Healthier in the Process
Healthy Tips for Salads
Healthy Tip #1 - While the basic mix of a salad is iceberg lettuce and a bit of chopped tomato, branch out to add nutrition and satiety power to create Power Salads! Adding unique vegetables and fruit - in addition to proteins add punch to your health and can help you achieve weight loss without dieting.
Here is a simple recipe for a Power Salad: 1/2 cup of sliced or cubed roasted chicken, 4 cups of baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, a couple of sliced olives, a few broccoli trees, shredded carrot, a few slices of cucumber, 1/2 teaspoon of hulled sunflower seeds, 1 teaspoon of dried cranberries, 1 teaspoon of garbanzo beans + up to 50 calories of your favorite salad dressing. Which brings us to the next healthy salad tip....
Healthy Tip #2 - Choose your salad dressings wisely and take a bit of time to measure the amount before adding to your salad. Serving the salad dressing on the side can also save fat and calories as you may not use all of the dressing.
Healthy Tip #3 - The green bed from which all good salads are created can greatly influence the taste of your salads. Instead of typical lettuce, try using baby spinach or field greens.
Healthy Tip #4 - Don't forget about unique salads such as beet salad and three-bean salad.
Healthy Tip #5 - One of my favorite low calorie salads is a Corn Chip Salad. To the typical salad of lettuce and tomato, add drained black olives, corn chips and light Catalina dressing. Delicious!! Be sure to go light on the corn chips.
Healthy Tip #6 - Although fast-food salads may be appealing in regards to health and weight loss, some contain more fat and calories than a full-blown cheeseburger. So our healthy fast-food salad tip is to enjoy the basic salad, skip the croutons and the crackers, and to opt for the low calorie salad dressing. A balsamic vinegar salad dressing is a great option, as is the light honey-mustard versions. If a low calorie dressing isn't available, use 1/2 the pack.
Healthy Tip #7 - One of the healthiest salads is a fruit salad created with fresh fruit!
