The Big Salad | How I lost 30 Pounds in 90 Days

Today I'm sharing my go-to salad recipe that I used to lose 30 pounds in 90 days. This is a BIG salad. It's a whole meal. And it'll take you at least 40 minutes to eat the whole thing! Staying full while still losing weight is honestly the best feeling in the world. This salad comes together in about 5 minutes thanks to my weekly meal prep! Whether you follow a vegan / nutritarian diet or just enjoy a big salad from time to time, this is a great base to build on.

Hi Geoffrey, this is exactly what I found worked for me when I was trying to lose post pregnancy weight. I lost 50 lbs and felt so much healthier with this style of eating. What I love about it is how you can customize it according to your mood. I added jalapeños, olives, pinto beans, chicken breast and topped with sliced apple or orange. I thinned out hummus with lemon juice for dressing. Not boring!

[@CakedadyCakedaddy]

Did u excercise?

[@Kevinschart]

Eating a huge salad for breakfast is the # 1 thing that keeps me lean. I had to get rid of the tradition of starting everyday with processed carbs (bread, cereal, grains, bagels, muffins, waffles etc.). The salad keeps me full throughout the day, I can prepare it in the time it takes to scramble and egg, and it sets the tone for a healthy day, every day. Setting the tone is the most important aspect of achieving any goal.

Big salad was a huuuuge factor in losing 50 lbs slowly over 6 months! Never felt deprived, I'd have small sides of protein and fat with them and subbed bread for ricecakes. Best way to do it, delicious and beyond filling!

If you follow the Eat Like ABear plan and eat one meal a day, you will loose the weight in half that time, and surprisingly not be hungry. The intermittent fasting makes a huge difference.

I would also highly recommend fresh herbs. Chopping fresh dill, cilantro, parsley, and rosemary (with scissors) makes a salad amazing and then all you need is a little grape seed oil and some pink Himalayan salt. So delicious! Thanks for the tip about the two head pizza chopper! ~N

[@nicolegregory4429]

Nice! You’re set up for success with the new containers 😊

[@tammyjohnson6822]

Speaking of this, does this keep the chopped veggies from getting slimy?

[@GeoffreyAlan]

Good question -- I put a piece of paper towel (or reusable kitchen towel) in the bottom of the containers that have damp foods in them (e.g.: cucumbers, bell peppers, etc.). Throughout the week as I use up the chopped veggies, I transfer them to a new, smaller container and replace the towel. They stay crisp and fresh for a full 7 days by doing this (in my experience).

[@thinkinoutloud.1]

I do a similar salad. I warm up veggie stock and add a teaspoon of vegetable bullion for extra punch. I add coconut aminos, or Bragg's, add a variety of vegetables in the pot with Italian herbs. After a short simmer I pour it over a prepared leafy salad that has nuts/flaxseed, balsamic vinegar. Maybe; it's a bit wilted but wow, the flavours come out beautifully and on a cool winter night its warm and satisfying.

[@GeoffreyAlan]

That sounds incredible! I love warm dressings with slightly wilted greens.

[@stephanieburns4560]

Thanks so much! I have found I need some rules to get me to eat my raw veggies. I even ate completely raw for 3 years & it was great. I since put the weight back & had trouble staying true to a plant based diet; bread is my downfall; & I can eat the starch fine w/o the greens. When I saw your video I got so excited bc I knew I could do this. Bless you for this video!! I'm now getting my raw veggies, with some other motivational treats (sweet potatoes, rice, beans). I am sure I'll have results.

[@mariedupais]

i came across your video quite by accident i wasnt even looking for foods... just want to let everyone know that eating salads ONLY with whatever you want mixed in really works on losing weight and getting healthy at the same time. i did it a couple years ago and i lost 50 lbs in a month! i promised myself to stop getting on the scale because i did not want to give up incase it was not working...when i finally got back on the scale i was in shock! i knrw i had lost some weight because my clothes were getting baggy on me. i went from a size 12 to a size 5-6. . it worked! it really Works!!

Looks really good! You have inspired me to meal prep salad ingredients. Looking forward to saying goodbye to those last stubborn 30 pounds that won't go away!

[@OriginalMeanGirl]

It's tough isn't it?! I was super skinny my whole life. I ate whatever and it didn't matter, then I hit my 30's and hello weight gain! I felt like I yo-yo'd back and forth but couldn't seem to get under a certain number. It was SO depressing! Recently I tried apple cider vinegar and probiotics. I know, there's not a lot of science behind it but I've lost ten pounds in two weeks. I just make a green smoothie with a Tbsp of ACV. I add a little honey to cut down the sour and I'm telling you, it does something to your appetite. I have one in the morning, a salad for lunch and drink another about an hour before dinner. I don't claim to know what exactly it does, but I'm FINALLY ten pounds away from my goal weight! I did read that our metabolism lives in our gut flora and ACV is a precursor to absorbing good bacteria? If you can stomach it it might be worth a try. Best of luck to you on your goals!

How do you get your greens to last in the fridge. I find they get slimy or soggy after a few days....

[@GeoffreyAlan]

I usually eat my greens several days before their "best by" date, so I generally don't have a spoilage issue. That said, I also buy groceries 2x per week because I can't fit all the salad in my fridge. So on grocery day, I'll have 6 containers in there. If you're finding your salad greens are getting slimy, you could try slipping a sheet of paper towel at the bottom of the container to absorb moisture. I'd do this as soon as you get them home from the store. I always add paper towel to leftover partial containers of opened greens and it seems to help them stay fresher for longer.

[@davidyule3605]

Thank you! I really don’t know how you lose weight with that salad... it’s huge! It’s also super healthy-looking. You look great. Keep up the good work.

[@GeoffreyAlan]

I eat the big salad twice a day. So 2 containers of baby kale or baby spinach per day. It’s a big volume of food, but that’s what it takes to keep me full - however, definitely eat to your appetite and fullness level.

I suspect it’s the addition of all the fiber from the vegetables causing some initial indigestion and bloating white your stomach / digestive system gets used to a new way of eating.

The title is a little misleading because the content of the book is all very factual and it covers the methodology and science of why she has her celebrity clients eat the way they do. The cliffnotes version: "Fab Four Diet" = protein, fiber, fats, and greens at every meal. From whole sources. 3-4 meals a day. 16:8 intermittent fast. Stay away from starchy carbs and dairy (only have it VERY occasionally).... I tried out this Fab Four diet and I was literally seeing the scale drop by 1 pound every day. Im getting back into it in prep for my honeymoon in 7 weeks. Fingers crossed for good results!

That's the kind of salad i have huge bowl with lots of topping but i used olive oil and venigar with anchovies for dressing. I will try try doing it twice a day like you did, i could lose some lbs🙂.

Same salad bowl same Tupperware mostly same salad ingredients. Dude, are we related? Two things you should try. Apple cider vinegar and sauerkraut or kimchi depending on the salad.

P.S. This will be an odd statement, but your teeth look amazing lol.

Thank you! I use Colgate Optic White toothpaste (not sponsored 🤣)

Use kitchen shears instead. Easier. Multi purpose tool. Add some rotisserie chicken or canned tuna or salmon for protein.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. I just got stuck and then sad and then tired...... thanks for opening the curtains! So what I needed. Off to buy living food.

You at that salad twice a day?? Didn't you get sick of it? Also, it seems like an awful lot of roughage to send traveling through your digestive system??

[@SCSC-qz7rr]

You should’ve linked the containers and chopper in your link below, it would’ve been helpful 🙂

[@GeoffreyAlan]

Good call! Just updated the description with links 🤩 For breakfast I drank this green smoothie every day (kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4C9ipigraylZ6M). Also just Ed added new salad ideas and addition smoothies in this playlist (kzbin.info/aero/PLk9SFCGd-WkiRnrMZvfAWTXZBda3BgDYb)

You ate this for lunch and dinner? What does the dressing consist of? What did you eat for breakfast?

[@GeoffreyAlan]

Correct, I ate this for lunch and dinner. The dressing is essentially a hummus, but thinned down. The full recipe is in this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZbce6iLhZuqlc0). I recently released 2 new salad videos with additional dressing options; playlist here (kzbin.info/aero/PLk9SFCGd-WkiRnrMZvfAWTXZBda3BgDYb). Every day for breakfast I had this smoothie (kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4C9ipigraylZ6M).

Geoffrey Alan and breakfast?

[@GeoffreyAlan]

Breakfast I had a green smoothie. I linked above ☺️

[@peterpiper487]

I eat a huge salad (larger than one you see here) as well. However, I don't add anything to the salad that is not on my keto diet. I lost over 80 pounds on my keto diet and I also lost ALL of my health issues.

[@jbw53191]

Excellent ideas! Very impressive. I really appreciate how concise your video was and gave me lots of great ideas. Thanks!

[@infiniteluv5589]

I was just asking subway where i can get that chopper...she didnt know....so thanks!!!

[@terirachelsims8928]

People who think salad's a deprivation are crazy! I love salad and eat at least one daily whether it's a main dish or a side dish, and my friends always request that I make a salad when we have a "pot luck" or I'm taking a side dish to add to a meal.

[@debc2019]

Thanks for these salad recipes. I love salads so this will be no problem twice a day.
