Well, I just started on JC, this is day 3. It's tough to get started, but I have a very long term goal, to lose 65 lbs and get back to under the 200 lbs mark.
I have a question about salads. Part of my problem is that I really don't like veggies of any kind, except tomatoes and starchy veggies. I can't imagine eating tomatoes every day as a substitute and making a salad at work is a pain.
I want to make sure I get some fiber mid-day to stave off the hunger pangs and am looking for some help on an alternative.
Thanks!

First, talk with your JCC (counselor) about this. The official Jenny line is to insert a soupetizer into your diet as one of your limiteds. Since you don't like veggies, except tomatoes, how about using V-8 juice as a substitute? Do you have the ability to microwave things at work (or do you work at home)? If so, how about getting some soups that are clear and low in sodium.
My best suggestion is to talk with your counselor. You may be at a calorie level where you could eat small portions of the limited veggies.
Hope that helped!

Russ,
I was dealing with the same when I got burned out on veggies. I started drinking V8. My counselor advised sticking with the low salt version which can be kinda bland so I would get the low salt and the Spicy and mix them. It added the kick I liked but still kept the sodium under control.

Hi,
I happened to love salads so i eat them everyday. I always put green olives, chopped squash or broccolli , tomoatoes to it. It sure helps. But yet, I do get tired eating salad, so i switched to V8 low sodium. Not bad at all..

I'm not huge into salad either. I've had the low sodium V8 and load it with Tabasco Sauce, which is rather low in sodium. In addition, Tabasco Sauce is great for your metabolism.

Hey guys,
This topic a bit outdated but wanted to add my 2 cents.
Don't like salads?
How about some steamfresh veggies with spices?
If you can microwave at work (or if you're at home), you can always have a frozen veggie instead. How about a box veggie like chopped spinach or broccoli? Add the garlic powder or some Mrs. Dash to spice it up without added fat and enjoy! Nobody says you have to have a salad but the veggies is to fill you up and add the fiber and good nutrients.
Bon Appetite!
