Weight Loss: Self Salad Can Make You Fat

Weight Loss: Self Salad Can Make You Fat - Anyone who thinks that remove guaranteed with salad and vegetables are mistaken. The green meal can be the case for the calories; some salads have thanks dressing and toppings as many calories as a steak with potatoes.

Who only eats salad and vegetables, decreases automatically? "That's true," says Sabine Schulz from the Institute for Nutritional Sciences at the University of Giessen. "However, it depends on the dressing and the trimmings." Then, it is apparent to the alleged slimming a different energy balance. Noon one Caesar’s Salad with plenty of parmesan cheese and croutons, in the evening a salad with breaded and fried chicken or luscious ham, served with a creamy yoghurt-mayonnaise dressing: Each of these mixed salads in this way provides up to 700 calories - equivalent is of the amount of energy well with a steak and potatoes.

"Above all, provide the toppings, so cheese, ham, fried meat, sausage calories," warns Isabelle Keller of the German Nutrition Society (DGE). Also supplements such as Hollandaise sauce for asparagus are slimming with about 500 calories per 100 grams of a real calorie bomb.

The ideal dressing

The dressing plays an important role for the total amount of calories in salads and vegetable dishes. "Finished products are less desirable in this context," says Sabine Schulz. They often contain fat mayonnaise and too much oil. Better, the dressing itself make. "Because you know what's inside and what quantities of oil and yogurt are used," adds oecotrophologist Isabelle Keller. One tablespoon of olive oil has 110 calories.

However, supply high quality olive and canola oils, mono-and polyunsaturated fatty acids. They affect the blood lipid level and positive can thus reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke. Both experts therefore recommend a self-prepared vinaigrette, so a dressing of olive or canola oil and a little vinegar. "For a salad dressing for four people, take two tablespoons of oil, vinegar, mustard, or to taste a bit of yogurt," recommends Isabelle Keller.

Lean salads

With salads and vegetable dishes can be taken off so well, if these are followed - Avoid thick toppings and side dishes, as well as the dressing alert. Also important: If the alternate ingredients, produced by a mixed salad of broccoli or asparagus and tomatoes, combine times leaf salad with radishes and lentils or beans, or even cucumber with fresh herbs and spice it up a few sunflower seeds

Legumes are the way for weight loss, because they provide a lot of protein and therefore saturate well. Healthy salads and vegetables are definitely, because they provide a balanced combination of vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and fiber.
