Non-fat salad dressings
So you’re faced with a choice: Do you go for the regular dressing on your salad or the non-fat? Actually, you’re better off making your own olive oil-and-red wine version. “The fat, especially something like olive oil, can actually help you better absorb nutrients from the vegetables in your salad,” says registered dietitian Tanya Freirich, MS, RD. “Also, when the food company takes out the fat, they usually add a lot of sugar or man-made ingredients to achieve a similar taste. Healthy fats like olive oil, avocado, and nuts are an important part of a well-balanced diet.” Try these other salad tricks to lose weight.
