Salad Recipes When its time to Lose Weight
By: Foras Aje
Okay, everyone knows that when it's time to work on weight loss
that inevitably you'll need to make some changes in ones diet,
hence the need for salads or tons of fruit.
Of course, its easy as pie to peel a banana or grab an apple and
enjoy the delicious flavors of these and several other fruits
without the hassle of preparation. However, everyone knows that we
still need our vegetables as some nutrients which may be lacking in
fruits are very much more present in these substances.
In addition, for a healthy diet (and consequently a healthy weight
loss), it just can't be plain ice-berg lettuce and pre-manufactured
dressings. Most of these items may perhaps do more harm than good
considering the synthetic ingredients in them.
That considered here are some recipes that could work.
Great choices for base vegetables for salads are Lettuce, Cabbage
and Kale.
You can augment these with fruit vegetables like Cucumber, bell
peppers, tomatoes etc or root vegetables like carrots or plain
celery.
I once read somewhere that ones success at using Salads for healthy
living and weight loss hinges on the dressing used.
Therefore, here are some tasty dressing recipes that could be used
as well
1. Tom-Avo
-2 organic Roma or Hot House tomatoes
-2 big Avocadoes (pitted)
-2 tsp orange juice (freshly squeezed) 2 oz of water
Serving Suggestion: Chop some Red Cabbage say a cup or less finely
and sprinkle into the soup
2. The Real Ranch Dressing:
-2 medium sized tomatoes
-2 young coconuts
-1/2 tsp of salt
-6 organic sun dried tomatoes
-I stalk of Celery
-1 tbs of lemon juice (optional)
Blend all and use as a dressing for a lettuce based salad. (Note: I
recommend using one base leafy vegetable at a time, if desired a
fruit veggie like cucumbers or organic bell peppers can be used
along with shredded carrots)
Guacamole:
-2 avocadoes
-2 medium tomatoes
-1/2 orange
-Sea salt to taste
Process everything in your food processor.
I would say this can be an excellent first food for a child in the
evenings. Serve in lettuce leaves or largely cut cabbage leaves a
la Tortilla chips and dips.
Dress Down Dressing:
-1/2 lemon
-2-3 avocadoes
-Sea Salt to taste
-1/2 cup water
With the suggestions above, now that you may have to include more
salads and vegetables into your diet for a safe and healthy weight
loss, these delicious recipes will ensure that you not only enjoy
how you make your meals but most importantly that they taste
good.
So, yes Salads can be implemented into your diet plan for weight
lossand naturally at that.
