The Big Salad | How I lost 30 Pounds in 90 Days
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ม.ค. 2020
- Today I'm sharing my go-to salad recipe that I used to lose 30 pounds in 90 days. This is a BIG salad. It's a whole meal. And it'll take you at least 40 minutes to eat the whole thing! Staying full while still losing weight is honestly the best feeling in the world. This salad comes together in about 5 minutes thanks to my weekly meal prep! Whether you follow a vegan / nutritarian diet or just enjoy a big salad from time to time, this is a great base to build on.

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 🥗
@Jayden Chris slime ball
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.
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?
@Falhawk73 Nothing works for me
@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!
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!
I'm on a weight-loss journey myself, and I am down 37 lbs., and your salad makes me happy :-)
Amazing achievement! 🎉
Wow congrats!!!
Congratulations! You are beautiful!
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!
Did u excercise?
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.
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
Love the idea of fresh herbs! I made a salad topped with roasted squash that included lots of parsley and the punchy flavor was amazing!
@@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
Leave the oil out! Nothing good in there.
Geoffrey can you highlight the roasted squash salad recipe?
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.
Yes!!!! You had me at “entire clamshell of salad”!
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 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
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.
“I’ll have a big salad. You know, a big salad...”
Ha ha ha 😂 🤣 😆
@@GeoffreyAlan clicked the video because of the big salad reference!
@@pamiam7511"The Big Salad ...tomatoes the size of volleyballs! "🤣
As a fellow TH-camr 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.
Thank you so much 😊
Yess I am learning to eat lots of salad too and I am loosing weight even more than ever 🙂
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 😂
Congratulations on your weight loss! I will use scissors in the future 🤣
Congratulations on your weight loss ss well!
The mom in you was cringing, but the 5-year-old in me was going 'COOOOOL, that guy's a badass.' XD
The mom in me was cringing when he did not rinse his greens!'
🤣
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.
Wow!! you are so organized... I need to get back to eating salads every day...thanks for the video...
I love how your quick and easy..getting right to the point..no bull**** off topic info...amazing and delicious simple salad. Budget friendly
That salad cutter just changed my life!!!!
Just ordered it! Can’t wait!!! 🙏🏼💙💙💙
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.
That sounds incredible! I love warm dressings with slightly wilted greens.
Scissors are great also for cutting salad. X
AMAZING tip - thank 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.
LOVE mandarins and clementines on salad! Especially during citrus season 🤩
Cashew yogurt? That sounds divine!!
@@coachdebby564 It is! Adds creaminess and a bit of probiotics--can't go wrong. ;-)
I love that food chopper idea!
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.
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?
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).
Thank you for sharing. You’re so organized. Not only does the salad look delicious but a great way to lose weight.
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!
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!
@@OriginalMeanGirl Thanks for that. I'm getting more and more convinced of the "gut health" aspect of weight gain.
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.
Sounds delicious!
Such an awesome big salad! I really need to get back to having a huge salad at lunch.
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!!
Geoffery just found you and wanted to congratulate you on your weight loss!! You are an inspiration 🤗
I love my salads. This one looks amazing. Thank you for sharing Geoffrey!🇨🇦❤️😊
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.
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.....
Your complexion is beautiful. Those salads work!
Super yummy 🤤 I eat salads everyday. I am 40 and all my friends say I look 25. I credit this to salads.
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!
Great to hear! I'll be making lots more salad videos -- especially as we go into spring and summer with all the great produce 😄
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!
I add cooked brown lentils, kidney beans, chick peas, etc and I add olive oil for the fat soluble vitamins in my body
Thank you! You have inspired me to eat more salad.
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!
I’m trying this now. Will post in one month. Thank you!!
I Love how everything is so well organized. That's me! 🤩
Except for the sweet potato and hummus dressing- that salad is exactly like those I make for lunch!
Subscribed, dude. I wish you health and safety. I'm gonna try it.
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..
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!
Agreed, and links to the meal prep containers as well!
I’m not vegetarian, I suffer from horrible anemia. But I love your prepped ingredients idea. Love it.
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.
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 😄
Hey friends - I’ll be back next week with another Bon Appétit recipe test! Hope your new year is off to a great start 🥳 Any big resolutions for 2020?
Geoffrey Alan
Love your videos! :)
Please try to incorporate more healthy recipes in your video schedule. Either yours or BA’s.
Definitely planning on more healthy recipes in the new year! 😄
Thanks for these salad recipes. I love salads so this will be no problem twice a day.
That salad looks divine.
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!😊
Eating salads in the winter can definitely be more challenging than in the warmer months!
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.
Thanks Geoffrey! You added allot of great options to your salad 🥗. I'm really looking forward to implementing this into my routine. 😁
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.
Sounds great! I'm posting another BIG salad recipe idea tomorrow which includes a creamy cilantro-lime fat-free dressing. 🤤
Love the food prep into those containers x!x
Bet your fridge looks fab 💖
Tried the salad today... Yumi. Thanks 💥
Great video! I just found this video on the sidebar. I'm now a happy subscriber. Well done, the easiest video I've ever watched. Thanks!
Thank you so much! Glad you found me 😊
I'm glad I came across your video. I've been struggling with eating healthily. I will be using your method.
Good idea about having everything shopped up so you can just make it quickly ! Ima doing this
Excellent ideas! Very impressive. I really appreciate how concise your video was and gave me lots of great ideas. Thanks!
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.
This is awesome!!! Thanks for sharing! 😊
looks delicious---also avocado, celery, tomato, sprouts, radish, kale, carrot, to name a few more ingredients
Great additions!
@@GeoffreyAlan Thank you
I went and bought the bowl and shredder you used. Love it. Thanks for the tip!
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!!
Good video and the salad looked delicious! Thank you.
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.
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 th-cam.com/video/UOZYejxGr1A/w-d-xo.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.
Awesome video! You are my inspiration 💙💙 getting prepared to follow your 90 day journey 🥰🥰 so excited!!!!
Thank You for your Great recipes and explanations. I really love that you get right to the point. Easy to watch and informative!
Greetings From Florida 🏄♀️ I’m SALIVATING ‼️‼️‼️‼️ Thank You So Much 4/ Sharing ❤️👍❤️ I’m a new subscriber!!
Thank you so much!😄
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.
This is video is the perfect thing at the perfect time for me, thanks so much!
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. 😊
Wow great salad tips! Thank you for sharing!
You're too cute making that salad.
I'm going to follow this I'm 262 lbs a strong guy but feeling the gains 🤙
Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! Thank you! Very inspiring...need to lose 30+ pounds...will try this!
Yes, yes yes. You got this!
Excellent! Exactly what I do a big bowel and I’m loosing weight and definitely feel satisfied!
Loved the video and thank you. I liked and subscribed and look forward to future 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🙂.
lol the cutter! I use scissors *cheap and great!*
Yum! Thank you. Easy to watch your video! PS. Like your hair!
Thank you! 😊 I’ve added a few more healthy salad recipes in this playlist, too: th-cam.com/play/PLk9SFCGd-WkiRnrMZvfAWTXZBda3BgDYb.html
Thanks for the video, Looks like a nice change up, looks yummy great job.
That is PERFECTION!
Kitchen shears would be the best tool to cut the sweet potato
I ate a nice salad with tuna today. I cheated a little for dinner. What do you eat for breakfast?
Wow.. I’ve never thought salad could have that much stuff in it..
also me: I’m Asian and I just started to enjoy eating salad at age 25 (I only eat romaine🤣) now I feel like I’m not doing much. I’ll try some of these toppings for sure.
I used to eat only Romain too. I also though that Ranch was the only salad dressing 🤣 I’m planning to upload more salad recipe ideas soon! Hope you’re having fun trying new toppings 😊
I just can’t wait to do this
your salad looks amazing!!!
Thanks. Will try.
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.
Looks amazing!!!!! Thank you for sharing.
I love a good salad! Will be doing this!
I just subscribed, one good video did that! Nice job
