Hi Guys,
My name's Lou, I'm new to the forum and I've always had weight issues. I've tried a few diets that were calorie counting-based and although I lost weight, I always piled it right back on again. I'm trying Dukan from tomorrow (I received the book on Friday so I've practically read it all now) because it seems much more sustainable than, say, Weightwatchers. I only want to lose 17lbs, so it's not a huge amount, but it'll be the least I've weighed and also my ideal weight and size to be. I mainly want to be healthier, but getting into a size 10 dress size wouldn't go amiss either!
The thing I'm worried about is taking packed lunches to work. I can already predict that I'll soon tire of cottage cheese, yoghurts and ham/chicken slices, and I'm not someone who has a lot of time to spend preparing food the night before, or spending lots of money on fancy meats. Has anyone got any great cold packed lunch ideas that would be easy to prepare and give some nice variation whilst still remaining affordable?
Also, I'm having grilled chicken breast for dinner tomorrow, can I make a nice sauce to go with it from quark and herbs, because that's all I really have in the house at the moment (I'll be going shopping later on tomorrow to stock up!)?
Thanks so much for your help, and good luck to all dieters!
