1/2 cup diced red pepper
3 tablespoons diced onion
1/2 cup beans cooked
Salt, pepper, and cilantro to taste

Saute red pepper and onions. Add cilantro. Beat the egg whites in a bowl. When the pepper and onions are soft enough, add the beans. Cook in low heat for five minutes. Add the whisked eggs gradually. Stir constantly. Add salt and pepper. The meal is ready when the eggs become firm.

For Lunch

Lunch is best served during high noon. And the leaner your meal, the better it is. Go for white meat instead of red. Poultry and fish are your best bets. Fish is highly preferable because it contains natural oils that can help lower down cholesterol. Cut out on harmful oils too. If you have to, make sure to use only extra virgin olive oil because it is the healthiest option. A good suggestion for lunch following a detox diet is grilled tuna.
