Re: Eat Salad, Lose Weight

Guidelines are guidelines. Implementations vary.
Plus, one area of confusion (for me) is the distinction of non-starchy and starchy vegetables and whether starchy vegetables count as your "starch."
I have been including oats at breakfast and either potatoes or rice in each lunch and dinner. I'm trying to get more trim. This thread has me eating a large salad and a bag of frozen veggies (heated) and sometime some steamed spinach for lunch. The early results are that I'm a few pounds down. This is encouraging.
It's not something new (eat more veggies and less starch for weight loss).
Thanks Spiral!
