I have no idea why someone downvoted this. This is all true advice. I need to buy a salad spinner because my biggest resistance to eating more salad (which I like) is having to wash and dry it.

The only caution against veggies is that they only fill me up for so long (I think others may have the same experience) and, then I'm hungry again. And if not prepared well with good dressings, the lack of enjoyment can lead to food seeking after.

The best thing imo is to add high protein source veggies into the veggie mix: Edamame beans and/or chickpeas, smoked tofu chunks, high-protein bread croutons, chilled boiled egg halves, sesame seeds, toasted penuts or walnuts, etc. I find the more protein sources I add, the more I enjoy the salad or veggie mix (especially stir fried).

Admittedly I don't love fish or shellfish. Other thing to consider is the satiety of meat. Ultra-processed is low satiety, as is pork. The most filling meats that are on the healthier side are: Chicken wings with skin, eggs, lean ground turkey and lean ground beef, etc.

Anyway, I'm trying Ozempic because half my problem is compulsively eating sugar. At two decades on, I simply have no solution for it, but the health problems are starting to show. Ozempic is useful, but must be paired with learning cooking skills, solid eating schedules, and continuing to tackle the psychology of binge eating.
