A salad before a meal, particularity 20-30 minutes beforehand, will start the enzyme processes that eventually render satiety.
However, most American salads are loaded with decidedly non-healthy items, so a 200-300 drop in meal calories would be offset by the salad itself.
Better just eat them to increase vegetables, then. (No iceberg!)
- eitally 16y agoEating anything 20-30 minutes beforehand will do that. Even eating a meal more slowly will result in eating less due to feeling sated sooner.

- arjn 16y agoOh Man! how I hate iceberg lettuce. Why does anyone like it at all ? Cucumber tastes way better.
- iuguy 16y agoIf you're relying on iceberg lettuce in your salad you're really doing it wrong. Have a look for some mediterranean salad recipes, try putting some cherry tomatoes in for sweetness, a light drizzle of olive oil and swap the lettuce out for rocket and see how it goes.
- giardini 16y agoLettuce, like most leafy greens used in salads, is mostly roughage. Iceberg lettuce isn't as tasty but otherwise is fine. And iceberg lettuce is cheaper. Lettuce, tomato, avocado slices, chopped green onions, and an anchovy or smoked oysters with vinaigrette is fantastic, regardless of what kind of green is used as the base.
