Packed Lunch for work

SailorSam

The omelette rolls gave me an idea, i don't know what you'd call it but
i've had rolls with mince and veg in them and wrapped in big cabbage leaves. I steam them but suppose could be heated in a microwave.

Salads are always a good idea. I did that myself for quite a while.

Thank you. Think I have got stuck in a rut with sandwiches so this might make lunch more exciting xx

There isn't really anything wrong with a sandwich and a bowl of soup either. It's the portion size which matters.

I don't eat Bread so i have either Ryvitas or Rice Cakes instead and just top with whatever you like

Just bread, but as I want to lose some weight would probably be wise avoiding pastry, thank you the ideas. The omelette rolls sound intriguing xx

In not sure what cutting out just bread/flour based profits will achieve.

For best results you need to cut out any root veg (inc potatoes), rice, pasta, fruit, pastry, crackers, couscous and up veg and good protein intake.

I've been following a Healthy Eating Plan devised by a NHS Dietician based on 'The Eatwell Plate' -

http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/Goodfood/Pages/eatwell-plate.aspx

That gives some idea of what it's all about - but the actual 'Tailor Made Plan' is devised especially for each individual. It's mostly about understanding what constitutes 'portion sizes'.

I'd recommend seeing your GP and asking to be referred. I can honestly say that I've never felt hungry or deprived on this Plan.

Incidentally, I'm 62, lost 7stone and managed to maintain for around 6mths at the moment. From tomorrow - I'm back into it again with a renewed effort - with the aim of losing another 2stone.

Another little snippet - my eldest son (aged 40) has lost 12stone on the same Plan. He's gone from 27 down to 15 and has maintained for 12mths :j :T.

Couscous, with roasted veggies or anything really.
I usually have leftovers a lot when avoiding bread/carbs

I take pasta dishes to work and heat those up in microwave. If you keep the sauce separate it doesn't absorb during the morning/overnight
