Eating a small salad before a main meal will suppress your appetite. A research study had shown that from study with 44 women who did nothing different other then adding a salad before their main meal, consumed 12% less calories during the course of the meal. In addition to consuming fewer calories, a small salad can provide the following;
• Valuable anti-oxidants
• Increase intake of fiber
• Burn calories through digesting and chewing
The salad can be as simple or as elaborate as you make it but consider the following;
• Go as green as possible; broccoli, spinach, peppers etc.
• Add as many different colors and textures as possible
• Be careful with dressings, they will kill you! I recommend my clients use a low sodium balsamic dressing, a dab of olive oil or lemon juice
Start with tonight’s dinner.
