Salad Before Starch Meal Sequencing
Salad before starch meal sequencing eats a vegetable starter before rice or pasta in the same sitting—practical restaurant order that softens post-meal glucose for many people.
Salad before starch meal sequencing eats a vegetable-heavy starter—greens, vinegar dressing on the side, optional beans—before rice, pasta, or bread in the same sitting. Restaurant execution: order salad first, ask starch held until greens are mostly gone.
Dressing fat in moderation can further slow absorption; creamy ladles still add calories. Works with family platters when everyone takes salad round one.
Not a license to supersize starch afterward.
