What is a Proper Lunch?



If you regularly feel tired, snacky, or unfocused in the afternoon, the issue often isn’t willpower…it’s lunch!

In this video, I explain what a proper lunch actually looks like, why sitting down to eat a full midday meal is essential for energy and appetite regulation, and how skipping or under-eating at lunch quietly sabotages the rest of the day.

We’ll cover:

✨Why lunch is a key refuelling point (not a luxury)

✨What makes a lunch satisfying and sustaining

✨Simple lunch ideas that work in real life (soup, salad with protein, leftovers)

✨Why feeling “guilty” for eating a proper lunch is so common and why it needs to go

✨How a balanced lunch can reduce afternoon cravings and evening overeating

This video is part of my 30-Day Reset, where we focus on building sustainable eating habits that support energy, digestion, and long-term health, without restriction or extremes.
