Ridiculously Big Salad Idea Roundup

I have been on the Ridiculously Big Salad plan with the Eat Like a Bear community for over a year now. While I am not perfect by any measure, I am still embracing salads and the hot veggie meals as a main stay of my eating plans.

One thing I did find was that I needed more protein in my meals so I have added in eggs back to my morning, breaking my fast at about 18 hours instead of the 23 hours. I am doing okay so far. I like controlling my foods. That is huge for me!

Eating just salads I know can be tough and there are plenty of modifications that you can do yet still keep it healthy keto and low carb.

Here are some tips:

Keep my food prepped and ready to go if I can
Use pre-packaged mixes if you have to – but supplement with fiber -celery, Cucs, Cabbage, and other veggies
Add in Garbanzos or Kidneys, if your carbs allow, for additional proteins
Add in Nuts and Seeds for texture, nutrients, and proteins
Track your carbs, especially with additions
Use the Hot Meals several times a week to break it up

Remember this is your one meal so pack in as much as possible to add interest, flavor, and to break the boredom.
