It works really well. A good idea is to have some salad
pre-washed and ready for a nice vinegar dressing, so
when you are hungry you can just fill up a big bowl,
top it with some tuna, cheese, hard-boiled egg,
smoked salmon, bacon bits, whatever, and enjoy.
Lots and lots of chewing, read a good book
or watch a DVD. Add a bit of oil (I like olive oil)
because it helps you absorb the vitamins in the
salad.
Soup works a little different (and I think it's better
for cold days) but you can just make a good broth
or soup "base" ... keep it in the fridge or pack it in
your lunch in a thermos. Add chopped vegies, meat
whatever (I like chopped green onions and cilantro,
and egg noodles). Have a big huge bowlful.
Either one, you'll feel very satiated. This "small portion"
stuff is for the birds (actually my birds aren't into small
portions at all, but that's another story).
