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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
