What kind of Salad Dressing can you have on low carb?

Stay away from the nonfat/lowfat stuff as it usually has more sugar to compensate for the lack of taste! I was always a fan of blue cheese myself when I was doing the low carb thing. Just be sure to read the label.

Just read the nutritional info on the labels...it lists carbs.

Regular Salad Dressing is mostly FAT so it's ok on a low carb diet (like atkins) but not really OK at all on a low fat/low carb diet (like one to shrink your liver)

Keep it to a drizzle of oil - something with healthy fat like olive oil or macadamia oil. We actually absorb more of the Vitamins and minerals in raw veg when there's some fat eaten at the same time.

I usually use olive oil and some salt and pepper, but even that these days doesnt excite me, lol. I've come to quite dislike salad (as in raw veg - lettuce, carrot, cucumber, tomato) and I'm not sure why.

OOOooo, that reminds me! I LOVE the house salad at our local middle eastern food place, sooooooo good!! All they put on it is oil, lemon, and salt and pepper. Wow, I can hardly wait to eat regular food again, MMMmmmm:w00t:

Hi, I'm in the middle of pre-op diet - being banded on 3rd February, and was wondering the same thing. I've been sneeking the tiniest bit of Tomato sauce because I just can't eat steak or other meats without. I'll tell my dietitian on Friday and see what she says.

I'm also being banded on Feb. 3rd, but have not been put on any diet yet. Over the phone they just said to start low carb/high Protein two weeks out and at my appointment one week out they would tell me what I needed to eat. I just don't know what number I need to keep my carbs under during the day and how much protein I should be getting?

I'm on my pre-op diet and I'm allowed 2 cups of vegetables per day, plus 2 tbsp of fat free dressing.

However, I really like those salad spritzer things because a few sprays covers my whole salad and its low in calories (each spray is 1 calorie) and carbs (1g per 10 sprays) and it has no fat. The Caesar kind is good and theres an asian one thats pretty tasty.
