Is eating salad the fastest way to lose weight? What nutrition experts say

In order to have a more perfect body, every girl must have searched for articles about weight loss and fitness, among which the principle of "eat less and exercise more" is regarded as a golden rule by everyone. In order to reduce calorie intake, some people reduce the intake of meat and starch and eat salads as a substitute.

However, is “salad” really synonymous with health? After reading the opinions from nutrition expert Tamar Haspel, your impression of salad may be overturned!

First of all, people often think that romaine lettuce in salads has many benefits, but this is not the case! Because romaine hearts have a high water content, they have a lower nutritional value than cruciferous vegetables such as kale and arugula.

It is worth noting that if you regard salad as your first choice for healthy eating, but only eat a few leaves together with meat, cheese and sauce, the total calories of this dish may be unexpectedly high! For example, the salads commonly served in restaurants outside will actually only make us fat.

Besides being high in calories and not really achieving the effect of losing weight, eating only salad can also cause uneven nutritional intake, leading to an imbalance of vitamins, nutrients and oils in the skin. Not only will the skin become dry and dull, but it can even look bad.

But despite this, this article does not mean that you should stop eating salads from now on. As long as you choose the ingredients and ingredients wisely, maintain a balanced diet and exercise properly, salads can still bring you health benefits.
