Skinny Toad-in-the-Hole for 5-2 Diet

December 9, 2018 by Fiona Maclean 12 Comments

Toad in the Hole on plate

5-2 diet recipe for Toad in the Hole and low-calorie recipe planning: I think it is much easier to diet when the weather is good.  At this time of year, I really want comfort food, warm starchy things that fill me up with a kind of internal heating system.  And if I wasn’t following the […]

Tarragon chicken Diet Recipe

Low-Calorie Tarragon Chicken for the 5:2 Diet and Pinot Gris: Today I got a craving for Tarragon Chicken.  One of the challenges with any diet, including the 5:2 diet, is that weird psychology that kicks in and makes you really want what you shouldn’t be eating.  I cared for my diabetic mother for some time […]

Rum and Raisin 3 ingredient Banana Pancakes

5:2 Diet Recipe for Three Ingredient Banana Pancakes: Hurrah!  I’ve actually hit my target weight (60kg) through the 5:2 diet and am now theoretically maintaining by doing a mixture of one fast day a week and something called 16:8 where I eat within an eight-hour window.  But, it’s Christmas and I’m fully anticipating gaining a […]

Curried Parsnip Soup

Curried Parsnip Soup for the 5:2 Diet. I didn’t plan to write this recipe for curried parsnip soup up on London-Unattached nor was I doing a 5:2 diet fast day when I made it, but when I was busy eating it yesterday for lunch and tweeting (yes I know…it’s sad!) three people asked me how […]

5-2 Diet Prawn Curry: Shopping List: Raw Prawns (Shrimp) Tomato Passata Coconut Milk Onion Chilli Ginger Garlic Mustard Seed Cumin  Tumeric Cayenne Pepper Lemon Juice Fresh Coriander (Cilantro) Cooking Oil It feels like a while since I’ve done any cooking.  Partly because I was testing some ready meals suitable for the 5-2 diet (you can […]

Adapting Recipes for the 5-2 Diet – Fish Tagine

April 4, 2018 by Fiona Maclean 5 Comments

Diet Fish Tagine

Spicy 5:2 Diet Fish Tagine Sometimes on a 5:2 diet fast day I get a real yearning for a spicy dish.  I think spice helps to reduce hunger pangs and stop you craving sugar too.  Curries and Tagines can be quite high in calories – if you want to make a low-calorie version, you need […]

Low Calorie Leek and Potato Soup

Diet Leek and potato soup

Diet Leek and Potato Soup Recipe – comfort food from my childhood: Every weekend that I am in London I wander over to the Farmers’ Market at Oval.  My first stop is always the same.  I go to the first farm stall to buy chicken carcasses – 4 for a pound.  I boil them up […]

December 28, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 5 Comments

5-2 diet turkey meat balls

5:2 Diet Frugal Fast Days – Spicy Turkey Meatballs These low-calorie spicy turkey meatballs are a result of looking for healthy ways to use turkey leftovers.  One of the biggest challenges of the 5:2 diet for me has been how to cope with family Christmas.  To some extent, I haven’t tried too hard.  An advantage […]

The 5-2 Diet and Me

December 26, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 10 Comments

tom yum soup 5-2 diet

The 5-2 Diet – a Lifestyle Choice? When Michael Mosley’s Horizon TV programme about the 5-2 Diet first aired, some months ago now I watched, fascinated.  Many of the diet and nutrition ideas I’d grown up with, like eating three balanced meals a day and never eating less than 1000 calories a day, seemed to […]

5:2 Diet Recipe Chicken, Aubergine and Chickpea Lebanese Style

November 20, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 23 Comments

chicken and aubergine stew with spices of Lebanon

A Lebanese Pantry used for a 5:2 Diet recipe: OK, I’ll admit there’s a bit of calculated cooking going on here.  I’ve been intending to enter Bethady Kedy’s competition to win a trip to The Lebanon for a while, and I needed to blog about something Lebanese as part of my entry.  But, I’m also […]
