Hello everyone....I have a question about salads..It says Dark leafy salads...I've been using regular lettuce...Is that a problem? Thanks

I eat regular lettuce sometimes and have never had a problem. The dark leafy kind probably has more nutrients, but the regular kind is fine too.

Oh, and welcome back! I am just back too!

Dark Leafy is better for your nutrient-wise, however, the good ole' standby iceburg, is fine too. I personally find that spinach leaves and romaine fills me up faster though!

God is good!! Glad you are here! You will find WONDERFUL support at each turn in this journey!

Regular iceberg lettuce won't HURT, but you can do better for yourself with some romaine, leaf lettuce, mesclun (baby greens) or even raw spinach leaves. Iceberg lettuce isn't much more than a little water and a little fiber. Not much nutrients in there. Get some bang for your buck! :-)
