5) Salads Are The Best Weight-Loss Food

Salads can be a good food for weight loss, but not all salads are created equal. One entree-sized salad at a restaurant can have upwards of 1000+ calories. On the other hand, some low-calorie salads may contain vegetables with minimal nutrients (iceberg lettuce, cucumbers, celery). Not to mention, salad-burnout is inevitable if you force yourself to eat them everyday. Instead, make your own salads at home with nourishing, satiating ingredients, and alternate with other healthy, non-salad meals.
