Michael Mosley has shared five tips to help you create a lunch that not only adds lots of nutrients, but leaves you feeling full.
On his Fast 800 website, the health expert states that adding protein, fibre and healthy fats are all key as they can ward off a number of health conditions including type 2 diabetes.
It comes just days after the health guru explained that not including enough protein in your diet can lead to sugar cravings, fatigue and mood dips.
So what are the five rules you should follow if you want a more nutritious lunch? Here is what you need to know.
Even on fasting days, Mosley recommends you consume 60g of protein every day. This is because it "promotes satiety and helps you stay full between meals, so it’s essential to include in a fasting day lunch." If you don’t eat enough protein, you may experience symptoms like hunger, sugar cravings, fatigue and even mood dips in the afternoon.
You can try adding tinned fish like mackerel or tuna as it’s high in protein and convenient as you don't need to worry about cooking or refrigerating it. If you are a veggie, protein sources like eggs, feta or beans can all be convenient options and can be enjoyed hot or cold on the go.
The tastier your lunches, the more consistent your healthy eating will be. The experts suggest: "A tasty salad can be dressed up with a flavoursome dressing of olive oil, vinegar and mustard, or a homemade hummus. Use lemon juice, herbs and spices generously in a variety of lunch dishes to enhance their flavours and make healthy eating taste as good as it feels."
