Salads are far more popular than cooked vegetables at our house as are sweet potatoes as a side or as the base of a meal. I find the bulk and fiber of salad far more satisfying than a cooked vegetable. One of the problems I had previously was really restricting my intake during the day and only eating “acceptable” foods. When I got home at night I’d be ready to eat anything and everything. Now I eat something before I exercise and after, and add a few snacks during the day. It really keeps me from overeating in the evening. While I’ve had some fluctuations in weight, I’ve maintained a 100+ lb loss for ten years.
