Absolutely amazing!! Watching you make your big salad so quickly cause you meal prepped earlier, has definitely inspire this mom. Gives me hope on getting off the eating like a two year old diet 🤦♀️ Will sewing how this impacts my grocery bill this weekend
Eating a huge salad for breakfast is the # 1 thing that keeps me lean. I had to get rid of the tradition of starting everyday with processed carbs (bread, cereal, grains, bagels, muffins, waffles etc.). The salad keeps me full throughout the day, I can prepare it in the time it takes to scramble and egg, and it sets the tone for a healthy day, every day. Setting the tone is the most important aspect of achieving any goal.
Big salad was a huuuuge factor in losing 50 lbs slowly over 6 months! Never felt deprived, I'd have small sides of protein and fat with them and subbed bread for ricecakes. Best way to do it, delicious and beyond filling!
So cooked faro is what he calls "comparo"? I had never heard it called that before and came here from youtube on my tv to my computer so I could ask about it. Thanks!
@Falhawk73 I'm all messed up,to many vitamin deficiencies! I have gained 20 pound's of covid weight. And I have thyroid, so it's a good thing I'm tall, I don't show the weight as much!
@Falhawk73 I have been very thin my entire life even after all this four of my kid's. Then I started to feel very weak, the intermittent fasting, made me Shakey,and I had to stop doing it, I have a low temperature 🌡️ all the time,and that's not good for me at all. So I see a Doctor and it's Expensive and she does nothing,to help me . I'm stuck with fatigue and figuring out how to fix my health issues. Bad digestive problems don't help either!
Hi Geoffrey, this is exactly what I found worked for me when I was trying to lose post pregnancy weight. I lost 50 lbs and felt so much healthier with this style of eating. What I love about it is how you can customize it according to your mood. I added jalapeños, olives, pinto beans, chicken breast and topped with sliced apple or orange. I thinned out hummus with lemon juice for dressing. Not boring!
What a beautiful salad. I never thought to add these ingredients together. That’s the great thing about salads, you can combine so many wonderful ingredients together and always have a different salad!
Yes! I love salad for the versatility - you pretty much can’t go wrong when combining fresh produce in a bowl 😅 takes the pressure off, plus it’s fast.
I would also highly recommend fresh herbs. Chopping fresh dill, cilantro, parsley, and rosemary (with scissors) makes a salad amazing and then all you need is a little grape seed oil and some pink Himalayan salt. So delicious! Thanks for the tip about the two head pizza chopper! ~N
@@GeoffreyAlan Can’t wait to hear what you think about the fresh herbs. The great part of keeping the dressing just an oil and salt is because the fresh flavor is just so amazing. Another thing I use is pickled beets chopped up... instead of cranberries - so tasty!!! ~N
I love adding chopped cilantro and flat parsley to my salad! However I just can't add an oil and some seasoning in lieu of dressing though... gotta have salad dressing.
I basically only eat huge salads from an assortment of vegetables with cold pressed organic oils, some chicken breast and eggs. Love this way of eating
If you follow the Eat Like ABear plan and eat one meal a day, you will loose the weight in half that time, and surprisingly not be hungry. The intermittent fasting makes a huge difference.
As a fellow RUclipsr I just want to send you a big hug of encouragement. You’re very kind and brave to put yourself out here like this and all in the name of sharing what has worked for you. Great job! I’ve found your videos very helpful. Keep up the good work.
I do a similar salad. I warm up veggie stock and add a teaspoon of vegetable bullion for extra punch. I add coconut aminos, or Bragg's, add a variety of vegetables in the pot with Italian herbs. After a short simmer I pour it over a prepared leafy salad that has nuts/flaxseed, balsamic vinegar. Maybe; it's a bit wilted but wow, the flavours come out beautifully and on a cool winter night its warm and satisfying.
Ive been eating salads like this for years so I'm a bigvfan! Want to contribute my favourite salad too: Spinach leaves, chopped garlic and red onion, raisins, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, tomatoes, lentels (rinsed and drained), Dressing, olive oil, raspberry vinegar, honey, salt, pepper.
Good question -- I put a piece of paper towel (or reusable kitchen towel) in the bottom of the containers that have damp foods in them (e.g.: cucumbers, bell peppers, etc.). Throughout the week as I use up the chopped veggies, I transfer them to a new, smaller container and replace the towel. They stay crisp and fresh for a full 7 days by doing this (in my experience).
I'm so happy I found your channel yesterday. I just have so much respect for the recipes you recreate and your food journey. I'm a subscriber now and will be following you!
Another great addition: Clementine or Mandarin orange sections. So easy to peel, and nice flavor. Sometimes I add a couple tablespoons of cashew yogurt to make it creamy.
Thank you for keeping this under 5min and covering the basics we all give a damn about, time, volume, hunger feelings and so on. Holy Cow HUMMUS on salad!!! Love it!
Geoffrey - I lost 50 lbs & still eat chopped salads. I also use garbanzo beans, black olives & avocado (for the fat). PLEASE pick up some kitchen scissors (or large scissors from the Dollar Store) instead of using a serrated knife mid-air to cut yams, etc. Quicker & safer! The mom in me was cringing. Lol 😂
Looks really good! You have inspired me to meal prep salad ingredients. Looking forward to saying goodbye to those last stubborn 30 pounds that won't go away!
It's tough isn't it?! I was super skinny my whole life. I ate whatever and it didn't matter, then I hit my 30's and hello weight gain! I felt like I yo-yo'd back and forth but couldn't seem to get under a certain number. It was SO depressing! Recently I tried apple cider vinegar and probiotics. I know, there's not a lot of science behind it but I've lost ten pounds in two weeks. I just make a green smoothie with a Tbsp of ACV. I add a little honey to cut down the sour and I'm telling you, it does something to your appetite. I have one in the morning, a salad for lunch and drink another about an hour before dinner. I don't claim to know what exactly it does, but I'm FINALLY ten pounds away from my goal weight! I did read that our metabolism lives in our gut flora and ACV is a precursor to absorbing good bacteria? If you can stomach it it might be worth a try. Best of luck to you on your goals!
The only problem is how expensive the salad containers are, and they're only good for 1-2 meals. I have about 15 plants to feed my salad addiction, and I still have to supplement it.
Love salads. I also add fresh blueberries, a few nuts, almonds or even peanuts, cilantro, seeds, Chinese onions, grilled shrimp, chicken or red meat but very little of the meat.
Love your salads. I have been using the kitchen scissors to cut my greens - same concept for those not wanting to make a purchase. I have been inspired by your videos to change up my salads!
Thank you! I really don’t know how you lose weight with that salad... it’s huge! It’s also super healthy-looking. You look great. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much! I have found I need some rules to get me to eat my raw veggies. I even ate completely raw for 3 years & it was great. I since put the weight back & had trouble staying true to a plant based diet; bread is my downfall; & I can eat the starch fine w/o the greens. When I saw your video I got so excited bc I knew I could do this. Bless you for this video!! I'm now getting my raw veggies, with some other motivational treats (sweet potatoes, rice, beans). I am sure I'll have results.
i came across your video quite by accident i wasnt even looking for foods... just want to let everyone know that eating salads ONLY with whatever you want mixed in really works on losing weight and getting healthy at the same time. i did it a couple years ago and i lost 50 lbs in a month! i promised myself to stop getting on the scale because i did not want to give up incase it was not working...when i finally got back on the scale i was in shock! i knrw i had lost some weight because my clothes were getting baggy on me. i went from a size 12 to a size 5-6. . it worked! it really Works!!
Looks SO good. I just had a salad with similar ingredients. I add about a teaspoon or 2 of olive oil on top of my Trader Joe's Classic Hummus and that makes SUCH a difference to me. I eat my salad almost exactly like yours otherwise. Oh yeah, I don't think I've tried the sweet potatoes though. Definitely doing that this week. Thanks!
Nicole Ritchie's home-made salad dressing would be great with this. Wisk together well: 1/3 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar, teaspoon or dollop of dijon mustard, teaspoon of honey, salt and pepper to taste.... Wisk in 1/2 cup of Olive Oil till well combined. Drizzle over salad.....
Thank you so much for sharing this with us all. I just got stuck and then sad and then tired...... thanks for opening the curtains! So what I needed. Off to buy living food.
Thank you! Just subscribed and saved! The weather is perfect for salad, I can't seem to eat one when it's cold out? Great ideas, I need to buckle down and do the food prep! I need this in my life!😊
yes this works! I ate a salad like this with olive oil and feta cheese and also added sliced almonds. sliced beets and steamed broccoli is also fgood too.
What a perfect food prep! Just what I was looking for. Thank you 😊 whole food, nutrient rich and healthy!! I love your approach to this type of lifestyle, so refreshing..
Loved the recipe Dude😊 I look for healthy recipes especially after having Cancer and a stroke I’m in remission doing great looking forward trying this recipe.
That looks like a delicious salad! My own preference would be to miss out the dried fruit and the cucumber but add some tomatoes and have a bit of olive oil (and perhaps some olives too). Good idea. Am going to prep some now for mid-week lunch.
Hi Geoffrey, I have watched quite a few of your videos. You’re a breath of fresh air and what a delightful smile you have. You make everything look so good too! I hate to say it but I’m a middle aged woman who has put on 25 lbs in the past several months and have been stuck, not knowing how to begin my weight loss journey. Your videos struck a chord and has helped me with.focusing on a starting point! Tomorrow will be day 1 of my journey and I have you to thank! Quick questions: 1) How many times per week do you shop? 2) Did you only eat the 2 salads per day or do you also eat breakfast during your weight loss journey? 3) How much did your groceries cost every week?
Congrats on starting your healthier eating journey! 1) I did one big shop and one smaller shop per week. The 2nd trip was mainly for things I couldn’t fit in my fridge the first time or fast-usage items (eg salad greens and mushrooms) 2) I ate 2 salads per day plus this green smoothie for breakfast ruclips.net/video/UOZYejxGr1A/видео.html 3) I don’t think my grocery bill will be a good comparison because I use a delivery service and have NYC prices. But generally spending around $150/week on groceries - which is pretty similar to before starting this way of eating.
So glad I found you 😊 just what I need to reset! Getting the book in the mail on Thursday, but I'm making those chickpeas today and made a huge salad! Thank you for the content and motivation!!
I’m trying to switch to veggies and fish only. Your idea to chop most of your salad veggies ahead of time will help me a lot. I’m already eating mostly veggies, but it’s not life changing, so I am now convinced it’s the land animal meat that’s making me feel bad. I cannot find any research showing that fish is bad, so I’m gonna give it a go.
I can't believe I've never seen the chopper/bowl combo by Oxo before, that's a great idea in and of itself! Note: You should put in an affiliate link to Amazon, I can guarantee you Geoffrey you'd get a lot of clicks! Also, I'm a BIG fan of eating salads, not only for losing weight, but it helps with the overall digestion/elimination of the food you've already eaten. I always have mine at lunch w/balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Homemade of course!
I lost 20lbs in 90 days using this method! I've since become partially paralyzed and hospital food is awful!!! My vitamin levels dropped my weight went up but I'm home now and starting this process again.
That is a beautiful salad. Great ideas. I too am trying to lose some weight and agree with you on prepping ahead of time. I look forward to more videos. 😊
That's the kind of salad i have huge bowl with lots of topping but i used olive oil and venigar with anchovies for dressing. I will try try doing it twice a day like you did, i could lose some lbs🙂.
People who think salad's a deprivation are crazy! I love salad and eat at least one daily whether it's a main dish or a side dish, and my friends always request that I make a salad when we have a "pot luck" or I'm taking a side dish to add to a meal.
Amen. I read life changing book by Jennifer Garner's nutritionist Kelley Leveque. I think the book is called Body Love or something. The title is a little misleading because the content of the book is all very factual and it covers the methodology and science of why she has her celebrity clients eat the way they do. The cliffnotes version: "Fab Four Diet" = protein, fiber, fats, and greens at every meal. From whole sources. 3-4 meals a day. 16:8 intermittent fast. Stay away from starchy carbs and dairy (only have it VERY occasionally).... I tried out this Fab Four diet and I was literally seeing the scale drop by 1 pound every day. Im getting back into it in prep for my honeymoon in 7 weeks. Fingers crossed for good results!
Absolutely amazing!! Watching you make your big salad so quickly cause you meal prepped earlier, has definitely inspire this mom. Gives me hope on getting off the eating like a two year old diet 🤦♀️ Will sewing how this impacts my grocery bill this weekend
Yay, Nicole! I hope this helps get you off the 2-year-old diet! 😂 Meal prep is such a life-saver when trying to eat healthfully 🥗

gomarcphil: really ? always wondered if this was true. Must try this too
I need to start doing this
I'm gonna try this in the morning.
Yeah man, eat that s*** for breakfast. Skip the bread. You don't need it.

Salad:
- Spinach
- Bellpeppers
- Jalapeño
- Black beans
- cooked faro
- onions
- mushrooms
- cucumbers
- sweet potatoe
- dried cranberries
- sunflower seed
- humus
- pepper
2*day last 90 days= -30pds
So cooked faro is what he calls "comparo"? I had never heard it called that before and came here from youtube on my tv to my computer so I could ask about it. Thanks!
What lasts 90 days?

Just ordered it! Can’t wait!!! 🙏🏼💙💙💙
Scissors are great also for cutting salad. X
AMAZING tip - thank you! 😊
A salad even Elaine Benes would be proud of
THANK YOU! You’re the first person to get the “big salad” reference 🤣 The struggle is real.

That sounds incredible! I love warm dressings with slightly wilted greens.
I love that food chopper idea!
Yess I am learning to eat lots of salad too and I am loosing weight even more than ever 🙂
Ive been eating salads like this for years so I'm a bigvfan! Want to contribute my favourite salad too: Spinach leaves, chopped garlic and red onion, raisins, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, tomatoes, lentels (rinsed and drained), Dressing, olive oil, raspberry vinegar, honey, salt, pepper.
Geoffery just found you and wanted to congratulate you on your weight loss!! You are an inspiration 🤗
Got an 18 piece set of Pyrex today so I can meal prep all my salad fixings trying to eat Whole Food Plant-Based the big salad is awesome
Nice! You’re set up for success with the new containers 😊
Speaking of this, does this keep the chopped veggies from getting slimy?

What a perfect food prep! Just what I was looking for. Thank you 😊 whole food, nutrient rich and healthy!! I love your approach to this type of lifestyle, so refreshing..
Thank you! You have inspired me to eat more salad.
I went and bought the bowl and shredder you used. Love it. Thanks for the tip!
I add cooked brown lentils, kidney beans, chick peas, etc and I add olive oil for the fat soluble vitamins in my body
Loved the recipe Dude😊 I look for healthy recipes especially after having Cancer and a stroke I’m in remission doing great looking forward trying this recipe.
Love the food prep into those containers x!x
Bet your fridge looks fab 💖
Tried the salad today... Yumi. Thanks 💥

3) How much did your groceries cost every week?
Congrats on starting your healthier eating journey!
1) I did one big shop and one smaller shop per week. The 2nd trip was mainly for things I couldn’t fit in my fridge the first time or fast-usage items (eg salad greens and mushrooms)

I always have mine at lunch w/balsamic vinaigrette dressing. Homemade of course!
Agreed, and links to the meal prep containers as well!
Love salads you can eat a whole container of salad green with all kind of toppings..
Same here! Planing some new salad idea videos as well coming soon 😄
This is video is the perfect thing at the perfect time for me, thanks so much!
Except for the sweet potato and hummus dressing- that salad is exactly like those I make for lunch!

I ate a nice salad with tuna today. I cheated a little for dinner. What do you eat for breakfast?
That is a beautiful salad. Great ideas. I too am trying to lose some weight and agree with you on prepping ahead of time. I look forward to more videos. 😊
Love this video - can't find the link for your hummus dressing with tahini?
That's the kind of salad i have huge bowl with lots of topping but i used olive oil and venigar with anchovies for dressing. I will try try doing it twice a day like you did, i could lose some lbs🙂.
Excellent! Exactly what I do a big bowel and I’m loosing weight and definitely feel satisfied!
I'm working on a plant based journey as well what is your recipe for the Hummus it looks delicious
Kitchen shears would be the best tool to cut the sweet potato
Awesome videos. Looking forward to watching them all and trying out the recipes. We all could use a little COVID weight. Thanks for sharing!
Lose not use.
Thanks. Will try.
Wow this salad looks great and all the wonderful choice of veggies you used! Whats the recipe for your hummus dressing? Thank you again for sharing!
Sure thing! The hummus recipe is at 25:25 in this video: ruclips.net/video/keyJuUP6w_k/видео.html
People who think salad's a deprivation are crazy! I love salad and eat at least one daily whether it's a main dish or a side dish, and my friends always request that I make a salad when we have a "pot luck" or I'm taking a side dish to add to a meal.
I'm going to follow this I'm 262 lbs a strong guy but feeling the gains 🤙
Thanks for this really great video - and we have the same spice rack :-).
The spice stack is a life saver in my small kitchen! I’ve gifted it to many people since getting mine 🤩
I LOVE sweet potatoe and ur hummus and everything combo is rlly good! I love hummus but in a diet I always thought it would be too fatty so ty
Looks amazing!!!!! Thank you for sharing.

I just subscribed, one good video did that! Nice job
Hi .. so can black beans was ok to lose weight on ? I think ill add that too . thks .
Amen. I read life changing book by Jennifer Garner's nutritionist Kelley Leveque. I think the book is called Body Love or something. The title is a little misleading because the content of the book is all very factual and it covers the methodology and science of why she has her celebrity clients eat the way they do. The cliffnotes version: "Fab Four Diet" = protein, fiber, fats, and greens at every meal. From whole sources. 3-4 meals a day. 16:8 intermittent fast. Stay away from starchy carbs and dairy (only have it VERY occasionally)....
I tried out this Fab Four diet and I was literally seeing the scale drop by 1 pound every day. Im getting back into it in prep for my honeymoon in 7 weeks. Fingers crossed for good results!
