Doesn't that salad look fabulous! Joel Fuhrman author of  Eat To Live extols the virtues of eating a simple salad with with a nice balsamic, wine, or rice vinegar before every meal as the key to weight loss.   Rather than limit your food intake (i.e. diet), Dr. Fuhrman recommends that you eat copious amounts of high nutrient foods such as fresh fruits and salads.  If you fill up on these foods you will no longer crave  "empty" junk food calories.  Your body's nutritional needs are met by these low calorie nutrient rich foods.   I know it works.  The only time in my life that I ever lost weight was when I followed his advise.  

Because I have about 50 pounds to lose, I have decided to make it a routine to add one large salad with a simple dressing such as Tavern On The Green blackberry ginger balsamic vinegar to every meal of the day.  I really hope it works as being 50 pounds lighter would be fabulous!
