Can you still be healthy if you...?

eat nothing but salads for lunch & dinner every day- mix with different types of vegies each day- example: lettuce, tomatoes, onions & tuna/ lettuce, onions, green pepper, cheese & bacon or lettuce, eggs, ham, cheese, & onions? Drink nothing but water & orange juice? Eat breakfast as you would normally do (cereal with milk or eggs & toast)- lose weight safely & excercise daily? Thanks.

Answer:
make sure you're careful about dressing, it packs a ton of calories and fat. some salads in restaurants are the most fattening thing on the menu just because of the dressing.

use low fat, or fat free
Absolutely..You. are doing well.. with the protein and veg..
SOunds yummy.. remember to'mix it up' so you are not too bored with it.. I eat a tonne of veggies everyday.
I'd think so - care to share your diet after say, half a year with us?
as long as you balance the 5 food groups, fruit veggies protein, cereals and dairy. sounds fine, and visit your doctor regularly and before starting your regime.
Sure. But you need potassium throughout the day. Need also lean proteins and fruits so you have plenty of energy.
