Yep, real men DO eat salad, and LOTS of it! I grow my greens in the summer in prodigous quantities and devour them at least a couple times a day. When I can’t grow them I buy them and do the same. Lots of good veggies (did I mention I LOVE my garden?), lean meat & fish, eggs, cheese, nuts, topped with balasmic dressing. I don’t avoid grain carbs but I limit them to once a day, and never in the morning or at noon. Sugar spikes, fatigue, insulin related blood sugar drops and the inevitable cravings, are gone from my life. Just over 2 months and 25 pounds lost, and there is no doubt that I’m on the right track. Energy levels, muscle tone, mental clarity, brighter eyes, better skin, and postive comments and looks from not just my wife but also from women when I’m out and about…it all adds up to a very powerful motivator to keep on doing what I’m doing and futher refining how I do it. Lots of time in the gym too, with cardio and resistanc training. The endorphin rush from a good workout is a reward in itself!

I’ve been making big ass salads for 2 weeks, avoiding grains most of the time, and lost 8 lbs without trying. This is awesome.

One thing I dont understand about his dressing is the flax seed oil? Isn’t he radically opposed to grains and processed ingredients?

I make enough salad for a couple of days then take that to work so I am not washing and cutting vegies every day. Add tuna or chicken or egg and I never get bored.

I just made a big ass salad before I saw your video. I think I’m on the right track. I’ve been grain free for a week and love it. I eat good and don’t consider this dieting, Thanks Mark, I’m feelin good. Dan.
