Salads are undoubtedly one of the best foods for weight loss. But we can ruin this food while trying to lose weight by adding a high calorie dressing. Here are the top five worst salad dressings that can sabotage your meal if you are trying to lose weight:
1. Ranch dressing
\"Quick Weight Loss\"
2. Bleu cheese dressing
3. Thousand Island dressing
4. French dressing
5. Mayonnaise
Did you notice that all of these dressings are creamy-based which is high in caloric content? If you are trying to lose weight, and love to add dressing to your salads, opt for low-fat or fat free versions of your favorite salad dressing. Did you know that fat-free Italian salad dressing is a 0 point condiment for Weight Watchers? Try Balsamic Vinaigrette which adds a great flavor to salads. Lemon juice is also a great salad "pickup" of flavor. Also, be careful of oil-based salad dressings. Although oil-based dressings are lighter than creamy-based dressing, oil still has calories that can add up and ruin the calorie content of your salad meal and add on the pounds.
Just because you are dieting, this does not mean you have to skimp on taste. Try different salad dressings and light salad toppings (raisins, pineapples, sunflower seeds), that are light and low calorie/fat free and expand your taste buds when you are dieting and still have a successful weight loss.
