It’s very easy to fail at eating a healthy
lunch, especially one that adheres to the
Mediterranean Diet principles. We’re
often too rushed and too starved to
bother with having a delicious, healthy
lunch.
If you’re eating your breakfast and
having frequent snacks, you should be
feeling satisfied enough to avoid those
afternoon binges on deli food or drivethrough
lunches. The key then is to have
meals available or accessible that
follow your plan.
As we’ve said before, it’s important to
eat intentionally and consciously on the
Mediterranean Diet. Slowing down,
focusing on what you’re eating and
really enjoying it is so important.
If at all possible, please schedule time to
really enjoy your lunch in a nice
atmosphere, whether you’re alone or
with coworkers and friends. If you’re at
work, try skipping the cafeteria, break
room or kitchen and head outside to a
patio or park. If you’re at home, put a
flower on your table, put on some nice
music and eat on one of your prettiest
plates.
