Does the term *sALaD* automatically bank as a ~*diet*~ food in your brain?🥗
Contrary to popular belief, eating salads while you’re trying to lose weight is a fat waste of your time, especially when you’re at a restaurant. Let me explain.
YES they have micronutrients on deck and tons of vitamins and minerals, BUT 9 times out of 10, you can find a lower calorie/more macro friendly entree on the menu than the salad options they have. Weird, isn’t it? 🧐
Even Cheesecake Factory has 700 calorie salads that are within ~10 calories of a piece of cheesecake...is that even legal? 🍰
So why do restaurants do this? Because *health* sells, even if it’s fake health. They create, market and make what people buy.
They’re in the tastebud business, and most of their customers aren’t looking at the nutrition facts anyways. NOT US THOUGH CAUSE WE’RE SMARTER THAN THAT 🤪
They dress salads up and make veggies fancy, so we can FEEL like we’re eating healthy food. When in reality, we could leave more satisfied by just ordering our dream burger in the first place. 🍔 🤷🏼♀️
This is why I’m huge on flexible dieting.
🥗Are vegetables good for you? Yes.
🥗Can you like eating salads? Heck yeah you can.
🥗Will you want to eat a salad every time you go out to eat? Nope.
🥗Is that okay? Yes.
🥗Can you still lose weight AND choose a burger over a salad? 100% you can.
🥗Are salads always the best option? Probably not.
🗣 Not everything is always what it seems. Eat what you WANT, eat foods that you LIKE, FUEL your body at least 80% of the time and don’t deprive yourself of anything. Re-learn how to live a life that gives you everything you want.
BALANCE Y’ALL BALANCE!❕ A calorie deficit is the secret to the fat loss you want to have with the flexibility that you need.
There's way too much information to still be able to keep chugging along in a state of deprivation. THERE IS A BETTER WAY! DM me and let’s get you hooked up 🙌🏼
So you’re saying I can gain fat by eating salads...? 👀 Say sike right now 🥴
