One pro-tip many of us use is a
ban on snacks. This practice was seemingly invented from the blood sugar roller coaster high carb eating does to us. So people reach for snacks to try to deal with perilous dips, only to create more. This keeps insulin constantly circulating, and the extra fat locked in our cells.
The work of Dr. Fung, fasting fan, is a good place to start understanding this process.

Once you are settled into the low carb groove, you'll find snacks are counter-productive. We want to keep our insulin low as much as possible. Most of us find fewer, larger, and more satisfying meals work much better than many small meals.
Speaking of which, dressing for that salad? Fat is crucial for the best absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, and many of us find it satiating, as well. I'd try throwing some cheese and pepperoni on the salad, and skip it as a snack. Top with some olive oil vinaigrette, and you could be on the road for No Snacks before you know it.
Your salad, as described, would last me about 20 minutes.
