CRETAN BOWL IN BLUE

An average cereal or soup bowl that can hold at least half a litre or just short of a pint of water is what you should be aiming for.

The beautiful hand made Cretan Bowls available from this site direct from the Greek Island of Crete are just perfect!

You can throw in a few sunflower or pumpkin seeds if you want to onto the diet lunch. Try as much as you can to buy the bulk of your shopping as fresh seasonal, locally grown produce (preferably organic).

This is not just a green environmentally sound life style choice but also the produce usually contains more nutrients.

The total amount of salad vegetables in your lunch bowl should be around 12 ounces or 350grms. A handful of additional seeds should not exceed 1 ounce or 25grms. Around one and a half tablespoons of olive oil should be added. The protein amounts should be 200grms (7 ounces) of cooked meat, poultry with bones or 150grms (5 ounces) of boneless meat, poultry, fish or shellfish. Cheese should weigh around 50grms (just short of 2 ounces). Or alternatively two large eggs can make up the protein amount.
