The food you allow can greatly affect your health and well-being that’s why it’s extremely important to choose your food wisely! Unfortunately, we all know what a rushed affair American Lunches are! To avoid being late for work, they’d just grab anything without even thinking if it’s good or not!
However, if you have this habit and have lately noticed that your weekday lunches are bringing you down and decreasing from your own productivity, it’s time to switch them up for healthier and more nourishing alternatives.
#1 – Pasta
Pasta is almost everyone’s favorite food especially when bechamel sauce, cream, or any other heavy sauce with fatty cheese is added. Let’s admit it! People can hardly resist it! It’s tasty, creamy, and cheesy, just the best combination!
However, what most people might not know is that the white flour noodles can easily turn into sugar and the body will store all of it as fat. Eventually, this will result in weight gain and clogged arteries!
#2 – Salad
This might be really surprising but yes darling you’ve read it right! Iceberg Lettuce is not as healthy as you think. In fact, it doesn’t contain many nutrients except water and a bit of fiber. So, eating it for lunch will make you feel hungry in a couple of hours.
In addition, if you top it with high fat or high-calorie dressing, be prepared to snack more during the day and eventually gain some extra pounds.
However, you can keep your salad for lunch but add some nuts, avocados, and some quality protein. Also, don’t forget to sprinkle on low-fat vinegar dressing.
