If you want to lose weight and get healthy, there's nothing better to eat than fresh vegetables, and the eating those vegetables raw is the best way to go! When you cook vegetables they lose a lot of the nutrients that make them so good for you!
The moral of the story...nothing has more nutritional value than a big, healthy salad! Throw everything in there....green leafy lettuce, tomatoes, carrots, spinach, broccoli, onions, peppers, cucumbers, sprouts...what ever vegetables you can find! Olives and jalapeno peppers are two of my favorites when it comes to adding some flavor. You can also throw in some chicken or some tuna salad and make a meal out of it! What the heck...get crazy and throw some nuts and fruit in there! The more things you put in your salad, the more flavorful it will be and the more you'll enjoy it!
One warning though......Watch out for the salad dressing! Most of them are loaded with fats....and not the fats that are good for you either! Personally, I put olive oil and balsamic vinegar on my salad and it tastes great!
My recommendation....get in the habit of eating a healthy salad every day with lunch....stay away from that disgusting salad dressing, and there's a good chance you'll start feeling better and even lose some weight!
