Healthy Diet Plan for Women: Lunch

Ok we’re well on our way in Phase 3, and you should have had some pretty healthy breakfasts this week (if not please read Healthy Diet Plan for Women).

Today we’re going to look at some super healthy and yummy lunch ideas. Some of you may ask about calories but I want to get you out of that head state because I think it leads to too much stress when eating and leads you down a wrong path. A much better idea is to try these ideas and see how your body specifically changes.

In other words, increase or decrease your portion size according to how your body feels. If you’re not fully satisfied after eating then add some more veggies and make sure to drink lots of water so you get more minerals and nutrients and allow the water to also satisfy any dehydration (which may be disguised as hunger).

If you are wondering if you should have had a snack between breakfast and lunch, the answer is a definite YES! But let’s take everything a step at a time and first focus on your staple meals. Of course, I will be including an article dedicated specifically for healthy snacks, but in the meantime I would suggest ordering yourself some Whey Protein powder. The benefits are completely overwhelming and I even have my mom enjoying the benefits from including it in her diet. I highly recommend Optimum Nutrition Complete Protein Diet as it includes riboflavin and folic acid which has extra benefits for women.

Have any questions or feedback about any of this? Please leave a comment below, I would love to get more feedback from you ladies, don’t be shy!

    Let me see if I can wrap my mind around those recipes…HAHAHAHA JK

    They all sound fresh and healthy – but a bit too similar for me. As someone who is wheat intolerant (and attempting to give up all flour), it would be great to have some non-wrap/bread recipes. And something besides salad would be refreshing, too.

    I appreciated the comment that we shouldn’t focus so much on calories, instead, we should pay attention to the signals our bodies are telling us. That was a good reminder for me.

    Thank you for all of your knowledge!

      Excellent Kari, they are pretty similar but hopefully you can find some wraps that aren’t wheat based, I believe the flaxseed wrap that I get is actually wheat-free. I will be releasing other healthy lunch ideas in the near future but thought these were good because they are very easy and quick to make. Please feel free to post any recipes you think would be a great contribution to this article!

    These all look really great and easy to do, but just to get a count of calories and nutrition facts like how you have on the dinners would be VERY helpful! Thank you so much!

    I will have to look into this but I have heard that hemp products are some of the finest for strict vegans.
