This thread reminds me of an advertising campaign in Oz quite a few years ago, called
Feed The Man Meat!
(This was when everyone & their dog had decided that white meat was the only healthy meat & butchers decided they had to do something drastic.) So we had these ads that showed that a small steak had the equivalent amount of or iron as bucketfuls of spinach, etc, etc ..... I guess it worked, because red meat became more popular again - but only in sensible quantities & not every night, mind!
Anyway, about your current salad regime - you know, after your stomach shrinks you won't feel the hunger pangs at all! You might even decide there's something to be said for vegetarianism! You never know! Good luck with it!
