I have a pretty good question for all of you salad lovers. I was just thinking to myself after reading another discussion about salad. Is there a such thing as eating to much salad? I mean the other day I fixed one and it was so good I had to make another bowl. I had like three bowls of salad and three glasses of water and then I felt like a fat pig. Was that wrong can that be unhealthy to eat that much salad in one sitting? Like really was that to much cause I could have eatin like two more bowls. LOL

Too much is not good but if its veggie salad then i guess its ok... As for me, i love eating buko salad ( young coconut salad) its a dessert so obviously too much dessert is very bad.

Yeah, coconut salad would be dessert I dont eat to much of anything sugary or sweet, It would make me very sick eating a lot of that. LOL sounds good though.

If the salad contains healthy ingredients, go ahead. But if there's like a gallon of dressing in it, you should eat in moderation, because it's bad for your health. Greens on salads, though they are good for the health, may sometimes be not so good for the tummy, if you know what I mean. :-)

LOL, thats funny, I know what your are talking about but I dont have that problem. I usually use either like moderation of french and ranch mix. Or some Italian. Just a little is good enough. But yeah I will make sure I dont over do it on the dressings.

If that was all green salad like veggies and fruit, there is no such thing as over eating your salad because those greens are good for the body and most of all it can eliminate toxins in the body so you will detox yourself for that.
But if your salad is composed of sweets and with meats, then I guess having two or three bowls would be an issue already. Drinking water together with your salad is just fine but I sure hope that is not cold water but just tap water. Cold water will never be good to your spleen and it can only harden the oil that was placed in your salad.

Wow that is really good information, i never knew that. I will just have to drink water at room temperature. And now it was just green salad that I was eating with some cheese and croutons. Tomatoes and eggs was that bad?

I suppose if you ate only plain lettuce, tomatoes, raw veggies, you could eat bucketsful. But, once you add dressing, all bets are off, unless it's the tiniest bit. And then the salad is not so tasty. I suppose you could eat "too much of a good thing" either way, but, the tasty way is more satisfying, and, sadly, less healthy. Too bad, 'cause I love salad with lots of dressing! I think I'm going to fix one right now.
