Diet tip: start packing a lunch box.
Posted on Dec 11th 2007 12:28PM by Martha EdwardsFiled Under: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements
Remember the good old days, when your mom would lovingly pack you a healthy lunch inside your Smurfs lunch box, complete with some warm soup inside your Care Bears thermos? Yeah, that was a long time ago, but maybe you should consider digging out your old lunch box (wait, scratch that. Buy a new, grown up one.)
What I'm getting at here is The Lunch Box Diet. Developed by a personal trainer in the UK, this diet is simple to follow: Pack your lunch box full of healthy stuff, then allow yourself to graze on it throughout the day. This way, you'll never be ravenous because you'll be filling up on healthy veggies and protein.
Your lunch box should be 60% veggies, 30% protein and 10% fats and dressings. Carbs, even whole grain ones, are only advisable if you have an active job, not if you're a desk-dweller. Sounds simple and effective, don't you think?
