Forget the bread and go for vegetables!

You may be wondering… ’How can I omit the bread when making a sandwich?’ Well, here is a simple yet delicious idea that may help prevent you from putting on more weight this season (or any other!).

When making a sandwich or wrap, try ditching the bread (especially the refined ones!) for a more nutritious and healthy filling holder that is lower in calories. You could perhaps use a fresh leaf of lettuce or cabbage to hold your filling or scoop out the inside of some vegetables and use the edible outer layer to hold your filling. Cucumbers and tomatoes are excellent examples of vegetables that you could use, and instead of discarding the inside, try combining it in the 'sandwich' filling.

You will find that the vegetable is a great source of fibre, contains valuable minerals and best of all, it will be lower in calories than the refined bread that you may have traditionally been using. So try experimenting with different vegetables and see which ones works for you!
