Why no mention of calories in the Salad and Salmon diet?
The Salad and Salmon diet is nutrient dense, but not calorically dense. Further, our focus is more on controlling total carbohydrate than total calories. Individuals for which the Salad and Salmon diet is warranted are usually carbohydrate sensitive. Very rarely are calories a factor. In those instances, overindulging in high calorie foods, such as nuts may inhibit weight loss. But those cases are quite rare. In the vast majority of cases patients begin the Salad and Salmon diet and lost weight without really “trying”, and never count calories.
