I'm with u Cookie - I found it hard - in fact didn't do it on Weds and Sunday but will carry on until I've done 7 days - I also feel bloated - not sure why? My WI is 2moro but I've weighed (slap hand) and lost 1.75 so far - might try the soup challenge next wk cos I like to change things around and will be easier than making salads (lazy me!)

MUCH better, thanks. Back on track today.
I know I could've been much worse food wise. I was craving salty crisps - for some reason when I've a stomach bug I want salt. But we'd none in and I wasn't getting out of my pjs to go get some.
Just feel heavy and bloated, 2nd week running. We'll see how it goes tomorrow on scales.

Hey sorry no time yet to read whole thread...so it's only one meal for salad?? I thought it'd be dinner and lunch!!! I'm speaking too soon probably but sounds easy! I may adapt and have a few days with both meals as salad. I'm not a soup person as my homemade soups are rubbish lol.
Snacking non carb too??

Yay I've finally found this challenge! Looking forward to being a part of it w/c Tues 22nd
Quick question, can I have say 2x vegetarian sausage with a big salad for my tea? I.e. a sausage salad? Haha.
Yep Em's indeed you can
.Here is a correct copy of the guidelines that need to be followed for this challenge :-
SALAD CHALLENGE GUIDELINES
This challenge is not just about eating salads, you have to make sure you are following all the points listed below on a daily basis, for 7 days for it to work !
- make sure you are drinking 2L of water min a day (nas squash is fine, avoid carbonated drinks if possible they do not count in the water allowance)
- body magic, 2/3 times in the week for 30 minutes min,
- lower your salt intake in the week
- keep carbs to a minimum (avoid potatoes, pasta, noodles, rice if possible) red days work better
- in your salads eat more leafy green veg,
- use fat free dressings
- salad has to be one of your main meals in the day (as a maincourse)
- no more than 10 syns a day (even on days out)
If you haven't been following all of the above then I can't say whether just eating salads everyday of the week will make a difference. If you can't be asked with all the above and just want to enjoy eating your salads everyday then feel free to do so
but that's not what this challenge is about, it has to be a combination of the above for it to work .Hope you all have a strong pair of teeth, there is lots of chewing involved in this challenge lol

I agree with you Lauren to have the salads twice as my meals for the day, I find they bloat me anyway and I'm not that hungry after, but some people still are ,they prefer to have their 2nd meal in the day as something different. Me personally, I would either have the same twice or my 2nd meal would be very small, like a small portion of stir fry veg. But I have left it open to what suits everyone. As long as the rest of the guidelines are followed it should work, whether u chose to have salads twice in the day or just once.
Hope this helps.Kay xx
