Instead of putting a sandwhich in the sandwich box out a couple of spoonfuls of last night's dinner in one side then fill the rest of the box with lovely chopped salad. I like the little cherry tomatos, they are lovely and sweet. OK they are a bit expensive but its better to make something nice that you will eat thanenjoy eating than something nasty that you wont.

Your mission is now to make this into something that is going to be nice rather than boring. Build up a stock of things that you like. I get tubs of spicy olives and sun dried tomatoes from the supermarket. The Chinese supermarket is a great place to go to buy pickled chillies. Sometimes I even sprinkle chilli flakes on as well. This one has spicy olives, beetroot & a chilli.

I make my own salad dressing with all kinds of good stuff in it. Pour a bit of this into a little pot and put that in with the salad. Its a delicious alternative to a sandwich and it has helped me to slim down.
