What's a
normal salad? I'm willing to bet your idea of
normal vegetable intake is a lot different than
mine, and bridging the gap between us could mean
the difference between a healthy life and a
diseased one for you and your family.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to
volume.
You need to be eating tons of fruits and
vegetables on a healthy
raw food diet, but in terms of volume, but
not calories.
I eat 3-6 percent of my
calories from vegetables, which doesn't sound like
a lot, but that's the equivlent of eating at least
three large heads of lettuce a day. Ever
eaten a salad made of three heads of lettuce?
Normal Salad:
Watching The Video
As part of my ongoing
series on normal eating habits, I decided to
record myself eating a big salad, split into three,
to give you an idea of what a healthy vegetable
intake looks like.
Collectively, this big salad had perhaps 600 to 800
calories in it, not very much in the grand scheme of
things. Many of those calories came from the fruit,
not the vegetables.
What To Put In A Salad?
So after seeing the video you probably get the
emphasis on big quantities of vegetables.
But what do you actually put in a healthy raw
salad?
First off, review the healthy and unhealthy
foods in this
list.
