Most of us think that having a huge bowl of salad on a daily basis will help them to lose weight. Yes, you're right! A bowl of greens is very low in calories and will provide you with all the nutrients, vitamins and minerals that your body needs.

Those are sneaky calories and they are probably ruining your diet, without you realizing it.
