Hi all,
I recently picked up the 80/10/10 diet book and started following some of the included meal guides.
The dinner last night as 3 courses, fresh orange/pomegranate juice (which was delicious), yellow pepper, tomato, cucumber soup which was also pretty good but the last course called for
A POUND of red leaf lettuce, 8 oz cucumber 8oz tomato and 1oz pistachio nut.
I was thinking a POUND of lettuce, really? that was 2 full heads at the grocery store.
I cut up 1 head and it filled the largest salad bowl I have. After eating the other courses I couldn't even eat half a pound of lettuce, I probably at about half of it, maybe. I couldn't imagine eating a pound of lettuce, there's just no way I'd be able to eat it.
Has anyone eaten this much, or tried the meals in this book? Is it a typo maybe? I doubt it tho cause there are a few other salad recipes that call for a whole pound. I just can't wrap my head around how it will be possible to eat that much lettuce lol.
