Salads & low carb.

Hi, Surgery on 3/19/03 and have lost 66 lbs. That seems slow to me, especially since I lost so fast in the beginning. I walk all the time. I'm pretty careful about what I eat each day. Tuna and Eggs are a regular part of my diet. I was wondering about salads. Whenever I eat a salad I feel like it takes me longer to feel full and I notice my weight loss kind of slows down. Often times when I go out to eat (very hectic lifestyle) a salad is the easiest thing to order without drawing attention and comments, but I don't want to sabbotage this whole thing. I've also noticed after I binge or really eat something with a lot of carbs I can actually break a plateua. I don't do it often or for more than a day, but how weird is that. Anyone else have meal suggestions when eating out or know how salads affect us. Which is more important low carb or low fat?

I am glad I am not the only one who broke a plateua by eating carbs. I seem to lose more weight if I actually consume some carbs instead of all protein. I just make sure I limit them to no more than 20% of my daily intake. Yes I can eat more salad than other items. When eating salad I just make sure it has some protein on it as well, either grilled chicken, tuna or other fi****em. I really feel better though with the salad as it helps keep me regular. All protein and I am a stopped up puppy. Congrats on your loss and keep up the good work. Slow and steady is the best way. Jan, open rny 3/24/03 65lbs gone
