Weight Loss Diets: Better Choices for Salad Dressing

If you’re like most people, you love to pour rich, creamy dressing all over the vegetables in your salad. And while you may think you’re eating healthier because you’re eating your veggies, the salad dressing may be weighing you down more than you realize.

Salad dressings are now being made in spray bottles, these are a healthier choice over the creamy, fatty dressings that many people slather on to their salads. These tasty alternatives can save you more calories than you realize

Balsamic vinegar dressings are another tasty alternative to those greasy, fatty dressings. You can make this dressing at home using equal parts vinegar and oil, add your own preference of seasonings

While olive oil and flaxseed oil have fat and calories, they are a healthy source of fat that your body needs. In fact, flaxseed oil is used by so many organs of your body that it’s almost impossible for it to be converted into fat cells.

Another ingredient you can use to spice up your salads is citrus juices. These are all natural and provide no notable caloric increase.

Some other healthier choices when eating salads are the spray dressings; these offer only 15 to 20 calories per squirt. This is much better than smothering your salad with fatty, creamy dressings that are loaded up with sugar and fat. You can save calories but using moderation.

Instead of smothering your salad and eating needless calories, you can try dipping your fork into the dressing. This method has saved many needless calories for many dieters.

By dipping your fork into the salad dressing before taking a bite, you will get all the flavor and still save calories. You won’t use near as many calories if you eat your salad dressing this way. You will be surprised at how much less dressing you find you need if you try it this way.
