Forget veggie dip, sour cream, and low-fat ranch. I used to think I was being so good by choosing what I thought were better options. Instead: SALADS: olive oil/balsamic vinegar. Even better: plain yogurt. Try it, seriously. VEGGIE DIP: Just salsa, especially w/ celery. Even better: plain hummus.

Salad Dressing Secret

I abhor low cal salad dressings. I wanted to keep the full flavor of my favorite creamy style dressing but not all the calories. In order to give me that ability I measure out 1 tsp of salad dressing, then I dip the tines of my fork in the salad dressing and pick up a bite of salad. I get a taste of my yummy salad dressing in each bite and use no more than a teaspoon of salad dressing, in fact, usually I use less than that!

Crowding out other foods with greens

I recently grew a lot of salad in my garden and starting eating it for breakfast, lunch and dinner with some other foods on the side. I found a felt full with a bunch of salad because it crowded out other foods I would eat instead. I lost six pounds in one week and am still losing.

MORE INFORMATION:
I use a homemade salad dressing by Nataila Rose Chili Lime Dressing and Annie's Natural's Goddess dressing light

Happy 4th!

Keep your cookouts healthy with lots of green and fruit salads and using meat as a condiment not as a main!!
