Why do people think I'm dieting when I eat salad?!
Question: Why do people think I'm dieting when I eat salad.?
I am 5'2". 120 lbs. I'm 34 and have kids. I love a good salad. And when I go to someplace like golden corral my salad is anything but a diet food. It will have all the veges on it, of course. As well as blue cheese dressing, croutons, sunflower seeds, feta cheese, maybe some chicken or ham. Thats my meal. And I will be having seconds. I've counted the calories before and its more than I want to admit to. But whats the point of going out to eat if you can't get what you like.? And I figure at least it has lots of fiber, folic acid, vitamins, calcium, and yes fat which I happen to think is important too. But make no mistake, this is no "diet". Are people really so ignorant about the nutritional value of their meals.?Health Question & Answer

Yes, they really are so ignorant. Look around you one day and count the people who are a healthy weight like you are. The results are sure to sadden you. I know they did when I started to pay attention. We have a big job for our kids.Health Question & Answer
I think that the real question is... why are you so sensitive about what other people think about what or why you are eating certain things.? Your question really doesn't make much sense. Just because people are curious or you think they are doesn't mean that they are ignorant, maybe if you would have answered yes you are on a diet, then they would have explained that your salad is not very nutritious. Just because it is a salad doesn't mean it isn't loaded with calories or fat.Health Question & Answer
Its just that people are so ignorant thinking that in order to eat a salad you have to be on a diet...they don't understand the point where people just enjoy salads as their meal...not because its healthy or anything but because it tastes good! your just like my wife she loves salad and when ever we go out to eat she has to order salad! And theirs absolutely no problem with thatHealth Question & Answer
This thread is funny. I just love salads and make a salad at every meal for my family. My daughter's favorite part of the meal is the salad (she's crazy about spinach) and my husband, who wouldn't go anywhere near veggies when I met him, now loads up on salad each night.

Honestly it should be nobody's business what you eat. Eat what you like. Not all salads are "Diet Friendly", like some people imagine. They need to get a life and leave you alone.Health Question & Answer
