Will I lose weight by only eating 2 salads a day?!


Question: Will I lose weight by only eating 2 salads a day?
I'm doing a jumpstart diet on only eating salads (lettuce, italian dressing, cheese, grilled chicken, croutons and bacon bits)... i am 5'8 and 212 pounds. I was wondering how much weight I could lose if I ONLY eat this along with 8 glasses of water a day? Thanks alot!

Answers:

First off, that's pretty boring. Love your food!

You will probably lose weight, but you need to make sure you're getting at least 1200 calories per day. Less than that and your metabolism will slow to a crawl.

What would be better would be to eat six times per day to keep the metabolism revved all the time, but small meals each time. You never want to be hungry because you'll be tempted to give up and cheat. I love sunflower seeds because they're cheap protein. I eat salads with nuts and fruit in it, tuna, chicken, lots of fruit and vegetables, but mostly I need protein. I am not out there to lose a lot of weight, but eating this way keeps me stable at 5'6, 124 pounds with (sadly) exercise only a couple times per week.



You wont, your metabolism will be so slow, it will be so hard to lose weight & then you will get so sick and hungry and tired of it and you'll eat a **** ton. Don't eat any carbs...only eat your carbs in vegetables and fruits. Eat lots of meats and lots of eggs...all the protein will keep you full.

and divide your normal 3 meals a day into 6 meals to keep your metabolism going.
