Salad

[myway]

Hi guys! I'm new to this forum. And I have a quick question. I used to workout all the time and for the last 10 months I totally gave up and gained about 20 pounds. For some reason I can't get back on track. I've been talking to some people about dieting again. I do know how to come up with a nice diet, but in the other side I don't have time like I used to. So my question is. What do you think about a "Salad diet" eat salad for lunch and dinner every day.... Do you think I'll get results from eating just salad?

Any feedback on this? I Appreciate!!!

Actually, a "salad" diet will be very counterproductive. Your going to put your body into starvation mode, no matter what. When your body senses a severe caloric deficit, it will burn fat, at first. Then it realizes that the deficit is permanent, your body will destroy its own muscle. Its a process that goes back to prehistoric times. The body protected its energy stores for famine.

The best way to lose a few lbs is eating a good clean diet, providing yourself with a slight (500 calories) caloric defecit, and regular exercise.

A salad diet wouldn't be so bad if you're talking a salad with a buttload of vegetables, plenty of chicken, maybe some nuts and cheese, croutons, and a wheat roll to go with it Pretty well rounded meal, with plenty of veggies, protein, and complex carbs.

Though, if you're going to be working out, you'll want some sugars, too.
