eat a salad with no food rules

Diet culture doesn’t own nutrition, you guys!

They don’t own green smoothies, salads, or veggies, either.

💥If ditching diets has left you in a state of full-blown REBELLION…
💥If you’re reaching for fries NOT because you really want them—a perfectly good reason to have fries!—but because you feel like choosing a salad means choosing diet culture…
💥Or if you’re still SHOVING veggies into places you don’t want ‘em because you feel like you’re “supposed to”…

Ps. This bowl of “salad” is obvi for a prop! Def use your imagination and pretend there is a good amount of carbs fat and protein on there 🥳🥳🥳

Yes, I wish more people could just eat when they were hungry and just make sure they get a variety of things. That’s it. No more diets unless for medical reasons please

I love salads! That’s my midnight snack of choice sometime.

I do crave salads and fruits and veggies. Especially toward the end of winter where I've been eating a lot of filling stuff. It helps me feel refreshed

[jasimenmetcalf]

Salads sometimes just hit all the right spots ! Especially like a cob or harvest salad

[AlaskanChicka]

I stopped dieting and now the only thing I do is make sure my meals are filling and balanced so I don't binge. I now don't feel hungry all the time and feel like I am unintentionally losing weight as I do so. I'm glad I came across videos like urs.

This reminds me of when I was having lunch at Ikea and had picked a salad and a slice of cake. The lady at the register made a comment/asked if I was trying to compensate with that combo. Like no, I just wasn't feeling hot food that day but I still wanted lunch.

I love salads, especially ones with crunchy seeds on them, but I don’t have any end goal eating them other than to eat something I enjoy. This whole channel is just so validating.

I remember going through a whole salad phase during the summer between my junior and senior year in high school cuz I was craving it so much😂 and it actually helped me find a way to eat greens and enjoy it! I found I seriously love crunchy greens with mozzarella cheese and ranch dressing

"You couldn't possibly want a salad-"
I want to eat the leaves stfu it's so good and CRUNCHY

[kitten_dj]

I absolutely love eating salads, and it confuses me when people don't understand that I'm eating it cause it's good.

[elissa]

This hit the spot, as someone I know just posted about eating a salad - and all those diet culture thoughts popped up.

[emilybennett]

I crave salad and vegetables all the time but I usually can't afford to buy produce so whenever I CAN have a salad, it's amazing.

[novasiri]

I feel this. Sometimes.. I just want a nice salad. My go too is spinach and romaine, with a littlee bit of balsamic vinegar, maybe some left over meat from the night before, chopped up and tossed in, with some red onion.

Really fast and easy to put together lunch, imo.

i absolutely love your videos, im a chronically ill person whos struggled with disordered eating and chronic fast metabolism all my life, and after trying many things to keep my health in check (which requires keeping up on nutrients my body wont absorb most of) ive found that listening to my cravings and what my body wants is the right thing! sometimes i want a salad because my body needs that iron or vitamins, sometimes i want mcdonalds because my body needs a ton of calories and carbs. the human body is way smarter than people give it credit for, and everyones metabolism is unique and will lend people certain ways - ive been told my body was "ideal" and people were jealous of me while my body was rejecting everything i put into it and i could barely function due to little to no nutrients. if people just loved their bodies as they are and stopped forcing their extremely complex and intelligent organs inside of them to adhere to some contrived diet people made up that clearly does not work, theyd be way happier and probably less irritable, LOL.

Salads are amazing. I had an amazing fattoush salad I have been craving all week and tomorrow will be spring mix with strawberries feta and toasted pecans. I eat what makes me happy and I am just as happy eating a good salad as when I am eating a porterhouse and creamed spinach.

[ey_is_me]

i've had so many ppl question me when i eat salads ('you're already so skinny!' etc.)
but when it comes down to it, i'm severely anemic and i just crave salads a lot because of the greens

[defectiveaffect]

This brought up such a core memory, i never realized it till now. I always eat salad with pizza, ill have 2/3 slices but a whole bowl of greens too. Everyone always assumes im trying to wash the calories or whatever nonsense, its actually cause thats how mom always treated pizza nights and it just rubbed off ❤

[oturanfishcake]

A crunchy salad in the summertime is truly unbeatable!

[charlottespets]

It’s not about the control of behaviour, it’s about trying different things on your own terms, when you crave those things. People don’t have a good life because external pressures force them to, it’s about thriving and having a good time! 🎉😊

If someone said “back on a diet again? Good for you” and looked me up and down, I would kindly place my salad down and throw hands
