Lunch Box Diet

Save Tip

This is actually a program you can purchase, but even without spending the money, you can follow the basic principles and eat healthy throughout the day.
The Lunch Box Diet is based around the concept of filling a lunch box with healthy foods and grazing on the contents during the day. Simon recommends snacking every hour or so, only until satisfied, and never eating until full. Breakfast and dinner are taken as normal ,however some general suggestions are given for healthy meals.

Simon, the diet's creator, claims that by eating food in smaller portion sizes the stomach will gradually become smaller so that you will be less likely to overeat at dinner.

Recommended Foods
The focus of the diet is on the lunch box which should include around 60% vegetables, 30% protein and 10% salad dressing / condiments.
