According to the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and
Dietics lunch is the meal most likely to make or break healthy-eating
habits. Women who took the time to
bring a wholesome lunch to work lost an average of five pounds more in a year
than women who ate out (even just once) during the workweek.
Bottom line: Plan ahead!
Pack a lunch! Ditch the pounds!
I admit that my lunching habits are not the best. Since moving locations I do not physically
leave the office for lunch and (thankfully) take out options are limited. I have a kitchenette here and keep it fairly
well stocked with healthy food choices.
But – oh boy – sometimes it is soooo boring!
I came across this at www.chatelaine.com/healthyonthego
and it made my mouth water. Salads are
one of the things that I never bring from home. I don’t like the mess and bother of bringing dressing and if I
dress the salad beforehand it is nothing but a soggy swamp when I want to eat
it. I know there are all kinds of fancy
bowls and things for salads to go, but quite frankly, they all seem like a lot
of trouble.
This looks easy and yummy!
