new diet - lunch box

hi all,

hope everyone is succeding with their weight loss goals and had a great xmas! stuffed, as usual.

i came accross the lunch box diet after reading the review in elle and will be starting it in the new year.

has anyone else been on this diet, seems like a simple and doable concept with good feedback etc. i've been dieting for years and decided i need more of a lifestyle changing plan than something i pick up and put down time and time again

anyway, if you have and have got on with it please share how you've got on, i'm going to start a diary on here.

the review i found was here

The Lunch Box Diet
Quote:
So what is the "lunch box diet"?

It's a simple concept:

Get yourself a large plastic lunchbox
Fill it with a highly nutritious mix of vegetables, proteins, and fats.
Slowly graze on the lunch box contents all through the day (i.e. in between breakfast and dinner). The idea here is to snack on some food every hour or so (never gorge).

Elle calls it a "tried & tested party diet".The mix in the lunchbox should be something like 60% vegetables, 30% lean proteins, and 10% dressing.

Favorite vegetables include Broccoli, Spinach, Avocado, Chilli pepper, Sugarsnap peas, and asparagus. Proteins may include things like Tuna, Grilled Chicken or Turkey Breast. Dressings will be something like olive oil, chutney, seeds or nuts. Note that the small ebook provides a much larger list. There is no mention of precise amounts or quantities.

Starchy carbs (such as brown pasta, brown rice) are only recommended if you engage in an active job or lifestyle.

The Principle
The concepts behind the diet make sense. Spend the day consuming nutrient-dense vegetables. Train your stomach to become smaller - thus when it is time to eat dinner you probably won't be able to binge. Don't get too rigid or restrictive.

Breakfast and dinner should be kept "normal" although some good diet recommendations are made.

Sample Lunch Box: 'Chicken Surprise'

Flavoured Chicken breast strips
Rocket, Lettuce, Avocado, Sugarsnap Peas, Broccoli
Cheese, Nuts, Chutney, Seeds
Price
Simon charges £9.95 (USD21) which is steep for a 10 page text document. That amount of money can buy you some wonderful and detailed hardback books.
It's really no different than a low calorie diet -only it's using a gimmick.. if it works for you -great - but it's not the lifestyle change that you want to make lasting results it's just another diet...
