Eatin' LOTS of salad

I've recently started eating salads, and I'm kind of surprised at how much I can eat. I just had it for lunch and I probably ate a couple of cups of lettuce and then I also added 2 oz of chicken breast and 1 oz of cheddar cheese. I'm assuming I can eat that much because after chewing, the lettuce really gets compressed - you think? Otherwise, my pouch has gotten ENORMOUS!! I also thought I'd mention that I found this great salad dressing. It's called Maple Grove Farms of Vermont, and it's Low Carb and Sugar Free. I got the Bacon kind and the Italian Balsamic and it's delicious - less than 1 carb per serving (2T - I use 1) and sweetened with Splenda. I got it in my local grocery store (Shop-Rite). Just thought I'd add that in case anyone is looking.... Hugs, Nancy -111

Hi Nancy, It was so great to meet you on Saturday at the convention!! Your salad sounds good. I have to start eating salads again. The salad dressing sounds good. I have to see if I can find it out here. We have Stop & Shop, but I don't think we have Shop Rite. Jackie

Hi Jacs!! It was so nice to meet you too - and that sweet little boy of yours!!! I've always loved salads, but after the surgery I wondered about it being too carby. When the woman at the convention said that she never counts veggie carbs, that was all I needed!! Hope to see you again soon!! Hugs, Nancy -111

Hi Nan, Thank you so much! I am so glad Robbie behaved and it went well. I will have to try the salads and see if it works for me. I hope to see you again also. Hugs, Jackie

Hi Stace - do chick peas have protein? I think I heard once that they do and are more like a bean ~ something else I'll have to put on my shopping list! I said it before and I'll say it again - I feel like I've known you all my life, and just so everyone else knows, there's nothing fake about Stacy - she's as real as they come! (Gee, are we getting a little mushy or what???? ) Hugs, N.
