Evelyn Cole is aware of the challenge of juggling a hectic schedule with weight loss targets. Her answer is: Lunches inspired by the Mediterranean that are both filling and encouraging of her path of health.
She says these meals are full in taste, loaded with protein, and high in fiber.
A Greek salad wrap is among Evelyn’s faves. She says she loads whole-grain wraps with fresh vegetables, grilled chicken, and a splash of hummus. “It keeps me full until dinner and is portable.”
She also makes a basic quinoa bowl from roasted vegetables. Evelyn roasts eggplant, bell peppers, and zucchini with olive oil and herbs, then tosses them with quinoa and feta cheese.
She points out, “the roasted veggies add so much depth of flavor.”
Evelyn advises individuals seeking variation to try her Mediterranean tuna-stuffed tomatoes. She advises hollow out a tomato, mix tuna with Greek yogurt, capers, and parsley, then stuff it back in. “It’s light but filling.”
Evelyn stresses that planning is really vital. She counsels, “you’re less likely to reach for something unhealthy if you’re ready with healthy components.”
Her Mediterranean lunches show that losing weight can be a wonderful adventure rather than necessarily mean boring cuisine.
