I have been craving my favorite restaurants' salad for weeks. I want to have one before I get my first fill, which may or may not be March 14th.

Do you have any problems eating salad? Should I have them chop the lettuce?

I can eat salad, just chew it well. My doc says most people can eat more salad than other foods so beware overeating.

Yup... salad is sort of a slider for me. Wish I could find a good low calorie recipe for salad dressing. I have tried several... none of them turn my crank!

I use romaine lettuce as a wrap for chicken breast sandwich almost everyday for lunch.

I have no problem with salad but like others mentioned I can eat more of it then other foods so need to watch the "extras".... however my new favorite thing is lettuce, thick salsa with 1/8 cup fat free cheddar. Almost tastes like a taco salad but has so few calories.. Yummmmm!

I eat salad too...

I will even substitute lettuce or steamed cabbage for spaghetti....

I have gotten sick 2 times... The first time I ate raw veggies (lettuce and tomato) and the second time was falafel (chickpeas)... So I am scared of any salad... I used to love them but I run away now! I envy you people who can handle this stuff

I do this, and add some ff refried Beans for Protein (about two tbsp) ohhhhh, and verde salsa! Mmmmm. I thik I know what I am having for lunch!

I have no problem so far with salad.....wrapping some lunch meat with romaine lettuce is not a bad idea! Need to try that.

Great idea! I will need to try that.

I LOVE salads! I try to eat at least once a day. I eat them with 4 oz chicken, some carrots, bacon bits, flax seed etc. So good. I usually save them for dinner after I work out when I want something light but Protein packed.

Yeppa ! Just make sure you chew it well, and if it doesn't feel like it wants to go down ! Dont fofce it, just put it out in your napkin. This is different for everyone, so you will find out.

I on the other hand cannot eat salad. It gets stuck everytime I try no matter how well I chew it. My doc told me to jsut give it up and eat other foods.

I can only eat salads now if it's made from boston. Anything else is too fibrous. My favorite, romaine, is a thing of the past.

I live on salad - if its just a vegetable salad with a lean Protein and a no fat/low calorie dressing, then I cant see how in the world you could "overeat" it. There's simply not enough calories to do any damage.

I love just a mix of vegies - lettuce, capsicum, snow peas, red onion, cherry tomatoes, a little bit of avocado - with a tin of tuna, salt and pepper and a spray of a good olive oil.

Restaurant salads - caesar salads, roast vegie salads, chefs salads you need to be a bit more careful of - those are more like all other foods and not "free" foods like raw vegies are. Eat them, enjoy them but know what you're eating and how much of your day's calories it represents.

Veggies in general are just not working for me right now. Sometimes I can eat a few bites of salad. Sometimes I can eat 1 or 2 bites of other veggies. Nothing (not even bread!!) gets stuck faster for me than veggies! Seeing my nutritionist tomorrow as I'm concerned about becoming malnourished.
