Meal 3- Lunch

Eating a good lunch will have a big impact on how you feel the rest of the day. If you eat a huge lunch because you skipped breakfast and a mid-morning meal, you will have that sluggish tired feeling during the afternoon. So skip the crappy fast food or large lunch at a restaurant and try this- get a grilled chicken salad (skip the croutons) and get a light dressing or something made with olive oil (vinaigrette) instead of the high fat creamy dressings which can add as many as 400 calories to the salad- add some fruit on the side like an apple or pear. If you are thinking “where am I going to get fruit?”, remember that almost all grocery stores have a deli where you can get almost anything you want. So get a salad and some fruit or get a turkey sandwich on a croissant. Skip the cheese and mayo if you can and get spicy mustard, lettuce, tomatoes and onions. Add some pickles- they are almost calorie free. Iced tea, water, coffee or low calorie drink is best. Skip the sodas.

Nice lunch and I promise you will feel better during the afternoon. The key here is to be moderate. Remember, you are going to get to eat again in a couple of hours!
