Has anyone else out there tried this?  The Lunch Box Diet is something I heard about recently, and for the past 2 weeks I've been trying it out.  You eat a normal breakfast and dinner, but between those two meals, you graze from a lunch box every hour or two. The lunch box is filled with 60% (by volume) vegetables, 30% protein, and 10% fat / dressing.

I've come up with some combinations that I like, but I need more variety and am hoping others have ideas.  I really hope to see more activity in this group -- so please, everyone, if you've got some ideas, I'd sure love to hear them.  Please add a post!

So far my favorite boxes have all the same ingredients except the protein.  Basically I start with a salad mix from the store that is spinach, rocket (arugula) and kale.  To that I add chopped green peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, shredded carrot, pea pods or cucumber, and alfalfa sprouts.  The protein is either some vegetarian chicken-style roast, diced -- or a grilled veggie burger chopped into chunks.  I generally grill some onion and toss that in as well.  The dressing/fat portion has been my home made pumpkin hummus, mixed through.  These boxes are DELICIOUS, but I would love more ideas.

I'm still loving my lunch box mixes, and have experimented with various dressings to add -- but I would still LOVE to hear ideas from others out there.  Anyone still wishing to participate in this group?  I really don't want to give up on it, but no one seems interested in posting. :(

Sadly, I can't keep this group going all by myself -- there are 24 members, but no one wants to post anything? I'd love to hear from some of you.

I just added another favorite recipe -- how's about you guys? Any favorite low-cal low-fat vegan recipes you can share?

I hear ya -- though losing weight has not been automatic since going vegan, I would still never go back to consuming carcasses.
