If you are on regular, salad should be fine. I just don't chose them because there is no Protein, and it's not very filling. But I have had them, no problem.

My book says don't add em in till week 12.. but I had one or two small ones w/o a problem.. I think raw veggies don't digest very well.

It varies from person to person. Some people have trouble with lettuce, others are fine with it. Personally, I could eat 5 cups of lettuce and it wouldnt effect me in the least. Its true that there isn't really Protein in salads (or lettuce to be exact), but at 6-8 calories a cup, I love it and definitely choose it. And there are always ways to make salad more interesting and protein-packed.

Here is a cabbage salad recipe from my blog: http://violinistwithaband.blogspot.com/2010/11/recipe-guilt-free-cabbage-salad-and.html

And when I just want something quick, a salad with avocado, carrots, some cheddar and some tuna is a great meal and super healthy. Just measure out your dressings and dip instead of pouring the dressing on top.

I'm obsessed lately with thinly sliced raw zucchini dipped in fat free thousand island! Yum!

You have done great so far.... I had no problem with the salad so you should be fine. I am surprised you was able to eat the meat it took me a month to get meat down.Good luck on yout journey I am stuggling.
