With BBQ season upon us, it’s likely the trusty grill will be hosed down and fired up in the coming weeks.
While there’s nothing better than catching up with friends over a lazy Sunday lunch, fatty sausages and less than trim kebabs can mean that your weight loss plan is put to the test.
The problem with pre-made meats (like sausages and skewers) is that you often don’t know what type of meat they have put in them to start with, not to mention to marinade and other additives that are often poured over the top to add flavor.

Making your own skewers is a great option when trying to lose weight or follow a healthy diet as it allows you to control what goes into them (and what stays out!)
Using lean meat, like chicken breast, and avoiding salty marinades that are high in sugar and calories, means you can enjoy your lunch, while still watching your waist line.
Olive oil, garlic and a pinch of sea salt add plenty of flavor, with the acid in the lemon juice tenderizes the meat and gives it that extra tang.
Serve with BBQ’d corn on the cob and a green salad for a balanced, delicious meal.
