Love this idea for salad for lunch. The possibilities are endless!



Recommended Posts

FYI 2 new bansters not to be a downer but salads are often a slider food.

I believe by definition a slider food is easy to eat and can pack on the weight because it is high in fat and sugar.

If a salad goes down easy who cares?!

Quinoa is also good. It is a grain, gluten free and has Protein.< /p>

Dressing on the bottom, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, spinach, couscous

This is on Pinterest; the cous cous/ground turkey is actually quinoa, can't miss that little curl of the hull...I pinned one exactly like this last spring...great idea and green (no pun intended) too!

You are right that is quinoa. I mix it with most anything and it helps keep me satisfied.

Did I say anywhere in my post that I made this. I was passing it on and that was it. Why dont you please go have your vertical sleeve done and quit bothering everyone in this forum including me. If you would spend half as much time taking care of you and stop trying to prove me wrong you would be a lot better off. I never said I made this Ms Maui or whom ever you are I said it was a great idea. Please stop quoting all my post. You are only making yourself look bad. What are you gaining. I could care less if you posted this to pinterest. Isnt the whole idea of the nutrition to post tips that we all could use. Such a piece of work.

Here's the facts...cous cous is coarse ground semolina, semolina is used to make Pasta...quinoa has slightly more Protein per serving...15% vs 14% for semolina and cous cous. They all are great, but if you want adequate Protein, add some cheese, garbanzo Beans or even some grilled chicken....

Wow...a bit sensitive, are we. I recognized the photo, that's all. I've gotten a lot of great ideas off Pinterest. We've been eating quinoa for years, love it and it looks nothing like ground turkey :-?

Here is a trick to eating salad everyday for lunch. Make a few jars on Sunday night and just grab one to bring to work every day. When you're ready to eat' date=' just shake it up. The key is to make sure the dressing and the Leafy greens don't touch.[/quote']

This is BRILLIANT love it , I will have to share this with my hubby for lunches and working kids!!!!! We LOVE salads!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
