The Salad Is The Main Dish

"Raw vegetables have the most powerful anticancer properties of all foods." (Dr.Joel Fuhrman)

The SAD diet (standard American diet) includes leafy greens and vegetables in portion sizes equal, or less, to the animal protein and starch.

"The Salad" should be the main dish. Have fun with it and add as many raw vegetables as possible.

Raw vegetables have a negative caloric effect. Raw foods also have a faster transit time through the digestive tract, resulting in more weight loss than their cooked counterparts. The objective is to eat as many raw vegetables as possible, with the goal of one-pound daily. An easy way to accomplish this is to eat a salad at the beginning of your lunch, and then have some raw vegetables with dip before dinner. This could be an entire head of lettuce with one or two tomatoes and some shredded peppers, beets, or carrots. Or, you could have cucumber and shredded cabbage with shredded apples and raisins, or raw broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and snow pea pods with a delicious humus or salsa dip. The possibilities are endless. (more information is found in Dr.Fuhrman's Book Two of Eat To Live)
