Weight Loss Programs Easy with Salads & Shakes

By Nancy W


Weight loss is easier with prepared salads and snacks kept in refrigerator to have at hand to grab for a meal or when hungry. A simple idea is to fill a large container or bowl with your favorite salad greens to keep in the refrigerator. Most salad greens should last up to 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator when kept in a sealed container or a bowl with plastic wrap over it. You can keep the greens and cut vegetables in the bowl already mixed up WITHOUT any dressing on it. The dressing is what will make your salad NOT last as long.

Having the salad makings all ready to just grab a few handfuls to put in a bowl and then add the dressing is a quick way to have a healthy meal or snack. This will help cut the temptation to grab something high in calories just because you don't want to take the time at the moment to make a salad.

And while you are shopping take the time to look at the label of prepared salad dressings and buy 2 to 4 salad dressings that are low in both calories and carbohydrates. This will give you the special treat of being able to have your salad taste different depending on which dressing you use - dressing variety is the spice of salads.

Salads and vegetable snacks satisfy that urge to chew something and give you a sense of satisfaction that you are able to snack and still stay on track in your weight loss regimen. And you should feel good about yourself for eating these particular snacks as they are healthy for you AND they will help you keep on track with your weight loss. For quickest weight loss use salad ingredients that are low in both calories and carbohydrates.

Soy and or whey protein shakes are an easy and healthy way to make dieting on maintaining your desired weight. You can try a variety of shake recipes and then create some of your own weight loss shake recipes. Shakes can be made in a blender, or you may want to simply stir some of the protein powder into a cup of yogurt for a quick ‘on the go’ meal.

A balanced weight loss program that can easily fit in most people's busy life would be an average dieting day that includes vegetable snacks, one reasonable balanced low fat/low calorie meal, and one quick weight loss protein shake or smoothie. The 3rd meal of the day can be flexible which allows you to eat a meal on the run, eat with family, eating out with friends, or having a 2nd shake for the 3rd meal.
