    I do sometimes but I usually add lots of meat and cheese to it to give it some heft. It does go down slow. I'm not going to lie.

    I have one almost everyday. I have iceberg lettuce, cucumbers (no skin), carrots, sunflower seeds and shredded cheese. I have never used dressing, so I can't help you there. I don't eat tomatoes so

  • I like the idea of eating the salad an hour before a meal. I've been trying to figure out HOW to get in more veggies, but if I eat them with Protein, I won't eat enough protein. I'm going to try doi

Can you all eat chicken. I thought chicken was hard to digest?

You can eat chicken, but make sure it's cooked using a moist cooking method-and try to never eat reheated (especially microwaved!!!) chicken. It's not a problem with being hard to digest, it's a problem with it being hard to chew well enough.

Small bites, chew, chew, chew.

I eat chicken three or more times a week and have never been stuck from it.

I love salads. It took a long time before I could really enjoy a salad but now I eat them almost daily. The trick I use to be able to enjoy a salad is ripping/cutting the lettuce into shreds. I rip it to little pieces and make sure I have enough dressing on it. I add eggs, cucumber, Beans, broccoli and so many other veggies so I'm not eating all lettuce. The more heavy veggies kind of help push the lettuce down. If that makes sense?

Also, another trick is that salads are not my first meal of the day since the first meal is usually the hardest for me.

I found the other trick is to have crunchy/chewy/larger veggies and Protein make up a greater proportion of the salad than lettuce, compared to what most people consider a salad being largely a lettuce base with a few other veggies thrown in.

I've also used fine shredded cabbage instead of lettuce as a base which makes for something different and more crunchy to chew
