What's for lunch?
 
Quiet around here, isn't it? ;)

Cheese, onion & crisp sandwich for me as working from home all day. Classy! :)

No lunch for me. Trying to loose baby weight.

Bit anti-social if you're meeting clients - or is that the idea?

Real food! I could murder an egg and bacon bagel with kettle chips followed by strawberry cheesecake. But instead...

Country baked Pasta from Pastamania as I seem to be chained to my desk today. :-(

Note the 'working from home' bit. No client meetings today, hence I can indulge myself.

So what are you having for lunch then?

But your body will think it's being starved, so your metabolism will slow and when you do eat your body will try to store as much energy as possible as fat because it thinks it's being starved. Nearly all reputable studies show that small, frequent meals are optimum for weight loss.

Cold lamb sandwiches. Exciting, eh?

In order for your body to go into starvation you have to eat less than half of your daily caloric intake (usually below 800 calories a day). For me eating breakfast, skipping lunch and eating a hearty (but healthy) dinner is the best way to control my calorie intake. I hate making and eating a whole bunch of little meals. It's expensive and time consuming.

hmmm...very quiet.

just had kubus bread and noodles - about as nutritional & appetising as cardboard and string - whilst perusing the bored....

see the frenchies have elected a complete socialist, political nobody to get them of the s**t......good move...

Better than my canned chicken, mustard, light mayo, onion and high fiber bread.
