Salad Dressings And Controlling Your Diet
By Julia Taylor-Fernandez
Salad dressings can contain a lot of calories and may adversely
affect your diet control plans. If the only reason you are eating
salad is to control your weight, then use a low calorie salad
dressing as an appetizer on your salad.
Salads should contain only fruit and vegetables and with some
vegetable oil and a little vinegar. If you want to increase the
taste, you can add a low calorie salad dressing, to control your
weight.
You always see people who are on a diet eating salad, and you
see those same people weeks later saying their diet didn’t
work and they just can’t lose weight. It may be they do
have a hard time losing weight, but it may also be their salad
dressing.
If you look at the calories contained in lettuce, tomato, and
cucumber, for example, they are very low calorie. This is why
so many choose salads, but they don’t realize what they are doing
with the dressing.

Blue Cheese Salad Dressing
Most of the salad dressing you buy is very high in calories.
My favorite is blue cheese, and it has a whopping amount of calories
in each tablespoon.
If you think about how many tablespoons of salad dressing you
might put on your salad, you can see where you are killing your
diet. Just three of them can add up to over 300 calories.
Too many add–ons in your salad
The salad dressing is not the only problem. There are many other
things that people put on salads.
If you look at any salad bar, you will see where the problem
lies. There are people who put egg, bacon, cheese, and ham on
salads.
They taste great that way, and if you aren’t dieting, they are
fine. However, if you want to lose weight and you think that those
salad toppings are okay, that might be one of the reasons why
your scale isn’t moving down. In fact, it might be moving
up.
If you are serious about dieting, but you still want to use your
salad dressing, take close note of calories. Remember that the
calorie per serving usually refers to one tablespoon, and that’s
not a lot.
Low Calorie Salad Dressing
There are many new types of salad dressings on the market that
are made to be very low calorie. They might not taste as rich
as the ones that you want to use, but if you give them a try for
a few weeks, you may find that they grow on you very quickly.
A healthy salad can help you lose weight as long as you don’t
include a high calorie salad dressing on your healthy salad.
As long as you are using a low calorie salad dressing, you should
lose weight over a period of time.
Just don’t add all those high calorie add–ons like egg,
bacon, ham, cheese and full calorie strength salad dressing on
your salad.
I have decided to avoid salad dressing altogether and just eat
a healthy salad. I have found that although I may be missing that
tangy taste, I am rewarded with a lower waist line.
Every now and then I do include a little low calorie salad dressing
on my healthy salad.
I just don’t add it to my salad every day. This maybe your solution
to your diet control.

Did You Know?
What are the kitchen basics I need?
Kitchen basics that every kitchen should have are
pots and pans (in a variety of sizes), measuring cups, measuring spoons,
mixing bowls and an assortment of kitchen gadgets that make life easier.
One of these gadgets is a can opener. Being forced to saw off
the bottom of a can could take a little of the fervor away from
cooking. Also consider keeping whisks, spatulas and tongs as part
of your cooking basics.
Another item basic that is used often is a drainer/strainer.
These can come in the form of bowls or be part of a boiling pan
set. It is used to drain spaghetti water from the pasta or can
be used for anything similar.
