Salad diet help me lose weight? -

I have my senior prom next year and I want to get in shape for it so I m trying to lose about 50 pounds. I m currently 200. Will I lose weight if I go on a salad only diet? I ll probably have lowfat meat or something with the salad so I ll be getting about 700-1000 calories a day. With I lose weight fast? I don t exercise much because I have bad legs.

There is no magic pill or program for weight loss, regardless of what others tell you. 2 - 3 lbs per week is a healthy weight loss.You need to follow a sensible diet. Start eating fruits and vegetables and lean protein.There is a great show on the Lifestyle channel, Cook Yourself Thin. They show you how to change your fave recipes to low fat, low calorie. It��s a really neat show.Their idea is that you take your goal weight and multiply by 10. This number is your maximum daily calories.You need to eat what s called filling foods to not get hungry all the time. Things like apples and bananas are filling. Almost all types of beans, garbanzo, green, kidney, re-fried fat-free, beets, cauliflower are some of the many filling veggies.Avoid over-use of salt, you will retain water.Drink water, and if you don��t like it plain try a little squeezed lemon or lime in it. Drink at least 8 ozs before each meal.You may also want to try switching from 3 meals a day and eating 4 or 5 lighter meals.No vigorous exercise is required just walk.Losing weight requires a lifestyle change.Good luck!
