Beat the temptation to grab a fattening snack from the vending machine or order an instant take-away meal by packing a nutritious and slimming lunch box.
Here are a few healthy lunches and snacks that will keep you energised and help you meet your weight loss goals:
- Use high-fibre seeded or rye bread instead of white bread
- Spread slices of bread with low-fat hummus or cottage cheese instead of cream cheese or mayonnaise
- Flavour low-fat plain yoghurt with honey and/or chopped fruit instead of eating artificially flavoured yoghurt
- Pack fresh home-made popcorn instead of crisps
- Fresh fruits and slices of cucumber, carrot, whole cocktail tomatoes and celery sticks make great snacks
- Bake low-fat health muffins for office parties, rather than eating pastries, biscuits or cake
- Unsulfured dried fruit/raisins, raw nuts/seeds, and biltong are fuss-free substitutes for unhealthy snacks
