what's in your lunch box?
Posted 3rd April 2012 by Katie
At teapigs we often find ourselves reaching for the biscuit tin to go with the 3 o’clock tea round, so when Simon from the Lunch Box Diet (and health & fitness expert to Marie Claire, Women's Fitness, BBC) got in touch we thought it would be a great idea to try something refreshing and healthy for a change. To take part in the Lunch Box Diet all you have to do is swap your snacks with a specially formulated lunch box that acts as your 'grazing' box throughout the day. Simon recommends eating every hour or so, grazing on healthy food, but never eating until you feel full. This speeds up your metabolism, helps you burn fat more efficiently and gives you great hair, skin and energy! Sprinkle matcha green tea on your lunch box for an added bonus.
A big part of the Lunch Box Diet is the support that Simon offers along the way and he is giving teapigs fans a chance to win the Full Transformation System worth £297 and comprising of:
- The Lunch Box Diet Nutrition System - including recipes, nutrition plans, and VIP facebook group access for continued support
- The Lunch box Diet Fitness System - a 90 day fitness plan
- The Lunch Box Diet Mindset System - keeping you focused to reach your goal
Two runner ups will receive the Lunch Box Diet Nutrition System.
To win simply comment below and tell us one ingredient you would put in your lunch box (the more imaginative the better).
The winner will be announced on the 16th April.

This month The Breakfast Club in Angel have caught our eye for their great matcha promotion going on throughout the store. They’ve been giving the people of Angel their daily matcha boost and are making sure that everyone knows how macho matcha makes you feel!
If you’re in the North London area pop along and check these guys out - they do lunch and dinner as well as their famed breakfasts. Personal favourite is their Reggie the Veggie breakfast – we can’t resist a delicious breakfast named after our very own chief packer who ensures that all your lovely orders arrive promptly and in perfect condition.
If you’d like to know more about The Breakfast Club and their sites then check out their website and make sure you follow them on twitter.
