Feel better eating a salad everyday

For the last three months I have been eating a salad everyday. Here are my results.

  1. Change in waistline. My waistline has gotten slimmer. I wasn’t fat before but today my waistline is where it was 15 years ago. That was my goal in being healthy and making better food choices.
  2. Less craving for sweet things. Since I have eaten salad I feel more energetic and less desiring of sweet things like I used to eat before. I didn’t eat lots of sweet things before, but now I eat even less. This isn’t to brag, it just kind of evolved.
  3. Small changes in weight over the course of weeks. I have had less fluctuations in weight the past 3 months than in the past. Sometimes my weight would vary by 8 lbs but now it varies very little.
  4. Less heavy, but not dramatically. I actually weighted less a month ago but my waist was not slimmer. There isn’t a direct relationship between my waist size and my weight. The reason that I am focusing on my waist size is that my doctor said that waist size is a good proxy for healthy weight. She said that weight is a misleading number since muscle weights more and that isn’t always obvious. It is possible that I have more muscle, I certainly have been more active.
  5. Slow changes in eating habits. Besides sweet things, I crave less salty and other flavors. I rarely have food cravings that I had in the past. I also have been taking a new multivitamin at the same time, but it is a cheap generic and I doubt it is the reason for the weight loss.

This is my experience. It has been a fun experience and I am going to continue to eat a variety of vegetables and fruits. It is really amazing how good you feel when you knock off the processed food. I understand why people eat processed food, but it really hurts us in so many ways both short and long term.
