Lunch at the Office
Eat a high-fiber breakfast at home and you’re happily on
your way to 35 grams of fiber. Dinner will be a breeze.
The trick is lunch. You can carry portable fiber foods,
pack a brown bag, or make a quick and easy fiber meal in
the kitchen at work.
Office Kitchen
Many companies have a lunchroom with refrigerator
and microwave—not much, but enough to prepare a
high-fiber meal or snack. You want a blender for making
smoothies? Ask the boss if you can bring your own. And
don’t forget to drink plenty of water throughout the day.
Most people get dehydrated at work, and thirst makes
you eat too much.
Most Portable Homemade
Fiber Foods
Fruit
Pita pockets with hummus & veggies
Whole-grain salads (such as tabouli)
Bean salads
Whole-wheat sandwiches with avocado & tomato

Friends
In chapter 4 we mentioned the advantage of having
friends join you on The Full Plate Diet™—you can
find new favorite foods together, give each other
encouragement and watch the pounds melt away.
Talking makes you eat slower, and when you eat slower,
you eat less.
Brown Bag
Bringing lunch from home gives you complete control
of your fiber intake. If you eat plenty of fiber at lunch
you’ll be less hungry at dinner. The earlier you eat your
calories, the more time you have to burn them before
going to bed. Eat late and you’ll add weight.
