What do you eat for lunch?
Are you at home or
at work?
Do you pack a lunch or
go out?
Do you skip it all together?
Lunch is an important meal that you must make time for!
When you skip any meal, your body interprets that to mean that food is scarce and conserves energy (the energy you need to feel good) by slowing your metabolism.
Low blood sugar will leave you feeling irritable and unable to concentrate. Make sure your meal includes protein, a little fat and some high-fiber carbs!
I'm a big fan of leftovers. My husband and I cook on Saturday and Sunday and fill up all of our little Pampered Chef glass bowls (no, I don't sell PC but totally helping my friend Christy Morrow that does!) We make soup, chili, pasta, rice and beans, chickpea curry, enchiladas...(I'll give recipes if requested!) and then it's Grab-and-Go all week long!
Cook extra chicken on the weekend and use it in various ways during the week.
Didn't have time to cook? Make yourself a sandwich when you pack your kid's lunchbox.
I recently tried Campbell's 100% Natural canned soup. Lots of flavors and ingredients that you will recognize! Remember, when it comes to processed foods--the fewer the ingredients, the better!!
Forget counting carbs, adding calories and multiplying fat grams! Just read the ingredients! If they are healthy, wholesome and pure - Dive in! If there is refined sugar, white or bleached flour, hydrogenated oils, artificial anything or some scary looking word that you don't know - Don't eat it!
You have to make time to have something healthy for lunch. You can not wait until you are starving and run to McDonald's! Plus you are going to save money this way!! Beans and rice and much cheaper than spending $5+ going out for lunch.
