      There are many options for leafless salads. In addition to the above vegetables, you might try some of the following for salads: beets, green and yellow wax beans, green and yellow zucchini, celery, cauliflower, kohlrabi (unless your body sees any of these as leafy, as some are in the same family as kale), and sprouts.

    Can you please explain a weight instead of saying a cup. We don’t all use this as a measurement. If you use grams or ounces we will know what you mean and hopefully this should help us to lose weight more effectively.

    Hi, BettyBanks. Are you using the Menu Planner application? If so, just click on it and a list of nutritionally equivalent items will pop up, and you can select a substitute. If you are using the readymade menus, you can just swap in a cup of any green-type vegetable.

    Hi, to all wishing to use a different dressing: that option is fine, of course. We suggest lemon and olive oil because studies have suggested the combination with raw vegetables to be metabolically advantageous. However, if you have another dressing that you like, that is absolutely fine – just pay attention to the ingredients to make sure there are no artificial additives or excessive sugar or salt.

    Hi, Milliereb. They are actually unrelated, but share a lot in common in terms of use and nutritional value. Notable nutritional differences include the following:
    – Yams have more than twice the potassium of sweet potatoes, as well as more vitamin C.
    – Sweet potatoes have much more vitamin A activity (from carotenoids) than yams
    – Yams contain a little fat, while sweet potatoes contain essentially none/

    Jicama is a wonderful veggie….sort of on the order of a large white radish but sweet…some say the texture is like a water chestnut. It’s great chopped up in all kinds of salads, or just sliced and eaten. I haven’t tried cooking it, so I don’t know what that is like, but I love it raw.

    Hi garykate I too wondered what on earth Jicama was so did a Google search and this is what I found:
    Jícama
    Plant
    Pachyrhizus erosus, commonly known as Jícama, Mexican Yam, or Mexican Turnip, is the name of a native Mexican vine, although the name most commonly refers to the plant’s edible tuberous root
    still non the wiser but I suppose you could use yam instead ??
    anyway hope this helps
