Here is
an easy meal to fix - a slimming lunch Smoothie you can have ready in
less than 5 minutes - easy, slimming, satisfying, delicious and needing
very little clean-up.
Blend in blender:
- 6 oz. carrot juice (fresh, bottled from grocery store, or home juiced)
- 1/2 cup fresh spinach leaves, or 2 Swiss Chard leaves
- 1 stalk celery, cut in peices
- 1/2 small, raw apple, cut in pieces
- 2 1-oz scoops of micro-filtered whey powder
- 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
Side dish: 2 sesame seed crackers spread with 1 tsp. peanut, almond, or cashew butter
Dessert: 2 slices of candied ginger, served with hot herb tea.
This
meal will not stimulate an insulin rush which is usually followed by
hunger, followed by snacking on and off throughout the PM. Because it
provides for your body a good complete protein, some carbohydrate, and
a small amount of fat to keep you from getting hungry, you will have no
temptation to snack. The raw vegetables and fruit provide needed
vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients. It is easy, nutritious,
satisfying, and delicious.
Lunch at home for many women can be
the least nutritious meal of the day - like 2 slices of bread with a
piece of ham or cheese between (or both), a Coke, and a piece of pie or
cake. Or, it may be just pie or cake with a Coke. This is the kind of
meal that stimulates and insulin (sugar) rush. In an hour or two you will be
hungry again and you will start snacking throughout the afternoon, and
you won't be getting slimmer! And fatigue will set in quickly.
