I always eat them first because if I eat my main course first I don't want my salad anymore!. It also helps to suppress your appetite, and if you want desert eat it last!Www@FoodAQ@Com
I like to eat salad after the main course!. I am used to the European style of dining and we don't eat enormous portions of food!. The appetizer is usually just 2 ounces of food and the main course 3 or 4 ounces!. A small salad comes next to both cool and cleanse the mouth with a small amount of a savory dressing meant to complement the greens, not cover them!. The final course is an equally small dessert portion!. There is a theory that says your brain will feel full regardless of the amount of food eaten after about 15 minutes of chewing!. So if you eat a huge meal quickly you can feel full in 15 minutes or if you eat 4 smaller courses spread over 30 to 40 minutes, you can feel just as full having eaten less than half the quantity!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The part about filling you up before you eat the heavier foods is good but there is also a theory that it is better to eat carbs b4 protein!. The reason I believe is one digests faster the salad and fruits & vegs in general!. If the salad sits in your gut on top of the slow to digest proteins and fats, it could create a lot of gas, & that bloated feeling!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
according to the French a salad should be eaten second!. this will help you downsize on your hot dish portions so you'll have room for the salad and help you maintain your weight!. I think salad can also be cleansing to the palate!.
