Cucumber before meals
I'm trying to lose weight and want to consume more salads instead of carbs. So is it advisable to have cucumber before or during meals as it has a high content of water and it could potentially dilute the digestive acids ? If not, then what other salads may I have ?

Hi
You can eat cucumber,carrots, beetroot, turnips, tomatoes in salads.it is good to eat salads first then your food,as it make you feel full and gives satiety. So you will consume less of carbs. Don't skip carbs completely, body needs it for its normal functioning.
Eat whole foods and avoid refined foods like bread, bakery products, processed and fried stuff
Go for daily walk for atleast 40 minutes and do weight training.

Don't worry about dilution of acids in digestion, cucumber can be taken with or before meals, carbs should be 40% atleast in all meals, don't skip totally.
