Phase 1 - Need salad relief

[Guest guest]

Hi folks - Newbie here. Just joined the list today.

I have been on the SB diet for 4 days now and I'm doing pretty good.

I'm not craving a lot of the things I like, etc.; however, I am a bit

worried about one part of the plan - lunches.

The SB diet meal plan (in the SB diet book) features some sort of

salad for just about every lunch meal during phase 1. I'm not a big

salad fan, but I have had salads for lunch every day for 4 straight

days now, and I think I'm already about to burn out on them. I've

tried adding a little variety, like adding grilled chicken, fish,

etc., which helps, but it's still a salad.

Any suggestions for lunch alternatives, or ways to make the salads

more interesting? Thanks in advance.

Just don't have a salad at all. I had leftover grilled fish and

veggies for lunch. Just eat from the list of things to enjoy and

make sure you get some veggies in some form, even as V-8.

I'm on day 10 and I think this is the first or 2nd salad I've had. I've

been eating things like my meat and cooked cabbage or cooked squash or

cooked spinach. By having each thing separately and cooked, it takes

away from the " salad all the time " feeling.

Im 2 months into the diet and most of the time I have either a salad

for lunch or veggies and some hummus & protein. Then for supper I

have my cooked veggies. Also when I first started SB I made a pot of

chili each week and froze individual servings for latter and did the

same with soup. It made for a quick no salad lunch.

For lunch you should be eating a protein and two servings of vegetables.

Chili with beans and tomatoes would fill the bill. So would a chicken and

vegetable soup (no noodles, rice or croutons).

I think Dr. A has so many salads listed for lunch because salads are

relatively quick to fix. Also, he is in Florida, and I noticed that soup

recipes are few and far between in his book.
