Restaurants are
capitalizing on America's love affair with salads. Tempting you with sound good
options, like popcorn chicken, artisan cheese, fresh fruit, and "crunchy"
toppings. Take a closer look and you'll find breaded, processed, fried chicken,
fatty cheeses, fruits loaded with extra sugar and buttery croutons all drowning
under too much dressing. Not all salads are created equally.
It's
sneaky, but we can fight back. Metabolic
patients learn at a very early stage what really makes a healthy, well-balanced salad.
