  • Always wash your lettuce!

    So I was rolling along quite well on induction...8 pound loss in 10 days...when I broke open a new package of romaine lettuce heads. I was in a hurry, stupid me, and did not wash my lettuce. Ate a wonderful salad for lunch and spent the next 2 days in bed so weak from vomiting and diarrhea I could not walk! I am a huge advocate of buying local but in Maine we just don't have any local lettuce right now. This is not something I wanted from Mexico!

    Just a reminder, always wash your lettuce and other vegis as you have no idea how many hands have touched it before you.

    Take care all and happy losing!

    Great reminder, Robin! Years ago I just used to run produce under water and think that was good enough. Nope. You really need to use a veggie & fruit produce wash. Fortunately it is available in most grocery stores in the produce section. My salad spinner (produce dryer) gets used everyday. I don't even bother to put it in the cabinet anymore!

    Thanks for the helpful reminder for everyone.

    p.s. Sorry you had such an unpleasant reminder.
