According to a 2012 study by the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition And Dietetics those who ate a large “low energy dense salad” vs a “high energy dense salad” ( one that was packed with creamy dressings and cheese) before their meals reduced energy intake and a helped to curb their appetite.

In addition to weight loss, eating in a certain order can also reduce you blood sugar spikes. According to  Jesse Inchaupsé AKA The Glucose Goddess says that starting with salads, then proteins and ending your meal with a complex carbohydrates has been proven to flatten the spike.

It’s not about counting calories but about choosing your calories wisely. With that in mind and eating the lower dense caloric foods first you are sure to notice something positive beginning to flourish ( and it won’t be your waist line 😉
