One thing about salads.
Variety . There are so many varieties.
However. Rather than go into the deep end of difference.
Go back to why I eat salad every feed day.
I get most of my nutrition from salad.
I Avoid eating too much animal fat.
Varieties.
I plan a 13 week menu.
Week 12 is a week where I use up unused portions.
Week 13 is a planned break.
So I make a meal plan for 11 weeks.
I eat 4 X 11 weeks =44 salads
Basically I divide those into 4 types of salads
11 Health salad Saturdays
6Theme salad weekend
5 Flavor salad weekends
22 Filling salad weekday feed days
11 Health salad Saturdays
Anti cancer vegtables
6Theme salad weekend 1/14days
Turkey/cranberry/stuffing... Hawaiian... Japan, Greek ceaser
5 Flavor salad weekends
Dressing salads
22 Filling salad weekday feed days
These are geared to make me feel full the day before a fast.
These are what I feel are just important as the fasting itself.
The day before and the day after a 600 calorie day. I don't feel hungry. Not at all. Otherwise I have little willpower by end of the week.
On a feed day I have a protein shake that stays hunger for 4 hours.
Then for lunch I have a salad for that stays hunger for for hours.
The for dinner I have meat and broccoli and other veggie that stayed hunger for another 4 hours.
So if I eat at 9 am, 2 pm , 7pm. On a feed day I don't feel like I'm dieting. 4 out of 7 days a week.
On the feed day I eat two hand packed fruit and nut packs 300 caps each. I get just enough to not feel hungry. 300 at lunch hour. 300 at dinner time.
I'm averaging more than 1 lb week. Without exercise.
An nearly 2lbs week with exercise.
Total hours hungry with hunger pangs 18 hours of 168 hour week.
Something like this salad for St Patricks day
As I reach goal , the role of the salads might change to a balance of health salads , favorites , and seasonal salads.
I like the seasonal salads as it gives me a chance to get out and out what my local farmers are offering.
I also started on South beach and am .7 away from a 30 lb. loss but honestly, at this point, it is modified! Congratulations on the loss and hitting onederland! 
well ya know
