I agree with ryan. baby spinach or just mature spinach is a whole lot better for you than lettuce. as a rule with greens the darker the better for you! this is why iceberg lettuce is basically nutritionally sugar and water. when i make salads i use only balsamic vinegar and olive oil dressing and no lettuces spinach only also fermented items like vinegars (particularly apple cider) help the body keep a healthy digestive system, and help the weight loss process!
however i eat nearly all the fruits and vegetables and just cut out the processed carbohydrates and sugars. rule of thumb when dieting for health:
natural is better than processed.

You should start eating spinach in place of lettuce. Lettuce is just empty calories. Spinach is delicious, plus its nutritional profile makes lettuce seem like a sick joke.

@claude, I get plenty of fruit, eating strawberries and lemons three or four times a day… plus, tons of different types of lettuce… and, lean meats… plus, i’m taking vitamins… and i cook everything in coconut or olive oil… oh, and i should add that i eat some broccoli and carrots… i don’t see anything unhealthy, at all, about the plan… and, the nuts have lots of healthy fat…

not to be too critic or anything, but that has to be one of the worst meal plans (or diet plans in general) I have ever heard… where is the rest of the veggies, and the rest of the fruit? Or fish? Or healthy oils?

Limiting yourself like this is A) unhealthy, and B) setting you up for certain failure IMHO
