Yes I eat salads, but its not a wimpy salad with lettuce and vinegar. Heck no!!!! That’s NOT enough fuel to keep the body burning fat. With a meal like that your body believes you are starving yourself and guess what it does??? It holds onto FAT. And none of us wants that – sooo a “Real” salad looks something like this…………

- 3 cups of Organic Romaine, mixed greens, spinach (anything but iceberg it has no nutritional value)
- 4-5 ounces of Organic Free Range Grilled/Steamed Chicken
- Broccoli and or Steamed String Beans, Peppers, Cucumbers, Mushrooms
- 2 Tbsps of Crumbled Feta Cheese
- 2-3 Olives
- Full Fat Dressing – Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Fresh Squeezed Lemon Juice, Organic Sea Salt and Fresh Black Pepper. Or a Sugar Free/Preservative Free Full Fat Dressing.

Note that I didn’t provide measurements for the veggies. The more veggies the better. Go for a rainbow of color. I used 3 cups of lettuce as a guide. Remember your plate needs to be ¼ lean protein, ¾ veggies, and a dash of fat.

Here are some other Lean protein choices:

- Wild Salmon, White Fish, Canned Tunafish in water, Hormone Free, Grass Fed Beef.

Ladies I can’t stress enough the importance of the 4-5 ounces of lean protein. It is a must!!!! Many woman have a hard time getting in the protein and I just want to let you know without a minimum of 4 ounces you are never going to get the fat weight off. And don’t forget a full fat dressing – I know because I’ve been there. Trust me on this☺
