Читать книгу The Lunch Box Diet: Eat all day, lose weight, feel great. Lose up to a stone in 4 weeks. - Simon Lovell - Страница 21

15-30% Pick 1

Here’s where you’ll be getting your staying power. Protein takes longer to digest than carbohydrates and therefore leaves you feeling satisfied longer. Pick one type of protein source for each lunch box.

Choose quality meat and avoid the pre-packaged stuff that is mostly fillers and water and is poor in nutritional value. Although better-quality meats cost a bit more, you’ll quickly realise that you need less of them to satisfy you. I also advocate buying organic if you can afford it (see page 80 for the reasons why) but it’s not imperative.
