Hi IP friends, Iam not a fan of lettuce without my ex_ favorite dressing, I still eat it but not everyday. I'd tried all WF dressings but don't like any of them, also olive oil, vinegar and sea salt and even though I don't like it a lot, I still eat it like that =(. Any suggestions to make it taste better are welcome, but do I have to eat it ,Or it's optional?
I almost never ate it - only with my "big mac in a bowl" - I had my 4 cups of approved veggies a day and lost very successfully but I don't know if that is the "right" answer .
Honestly, I do not eat a lot of lettuce. Its a filler and to help things "move". I believe it is optional that is why it is unlimited Have you tried putting a pack of splenda in your dressings? sometimes that helps
If you want the by-the-book answer, lettuce is required -- unless they've changed the book very recently. But you shouldn't be eating lettuce with a small l. Romaine (with a big R ) is important not only for the fiber but because of the nutrients it has, particularly potassium and amino acids.
You don't have to use dressing on it. Use it as a wrap or when you want something with some crunch to chew on.

Thank you very much for you advice on splenda, I will give it a try., I even dislike it more with no dressing as other friend mentioned. When you wrote (to help things move) did you meant it will speed up weigh loss?

i also rarely eat it... I don't care too much for it either!
Hi JellyMae87! I've only been here in the forum for a short time, just in my 2nd week of the program. I don't even have enough posts to send a pm or add a siggy.
I just wanted to congratulate you on your success! I can't believe your results! You look fantastic! Says you've been a member here since May 2011, I was just curious when you actually started the program or what week you are in? I have over 100 pounds to lose and I find everyone's progress very motivating but especially when I see 100+ weight loss goals being acheived! It's always been my dream, but now I see it as a reality!
whisk together 1 Tablespoon Dijon Mustard (0/0/0) and 3 Tablespoons apple cider vinegar until blended. Slowly add in 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
I make this at the beginning of the week, and then use it in 1 Tablespoon doses, which ends up being 1 tsp oil per serving.

Hello. I am now almost finished with my 14th week on IP. I started IP on August 2nd. It's been a wonderful roller coaster ride... I think that Wuv and I would both agree. But don't look at it as 100 lbs. Take it 5or 10 at a time... Set many mini goals for your self. And keep at it... And you will see the same results!!
Is Lettuce Necessary?
