Lunch help please?

Make a salad and make sure to include: protein (3 oz) , nuts (1 oz), and, as a boost, hardboiled egg whites. Works every time. Veggies will fill you up in the interim but you will be hungry. Proteins and healthy fats (avocados) are the way to go with EACH meal. A baked potato, unless accompanied by protein or healthy fat, will leave you starving in an hour. Too starchy!

Try taking a 500mg to 1000 mg cinnamon capsule with your lunch. It works wonders.

I make a quinoa salad that's really filling. Cook 1 C of dry quinoa with 2 C of water or low sodium broth. When cooled add 1 can garbanzo beans, 1 C chopped cucumber, 1C cherry tomatoes and 3 TBS fresh Parsley. Add dressing: 1 Garlic clove minced, 1/4 C Tahini, Zest of 1 Lemon, 1/4 C fresh lemon juice, 2 TBS olive oil, 2 Tbs hot water and pinch of sea salt. This recipe serves 4 so I make a batch and then put it in containers for work. Very Yummy.
