Low-Calorie Celery Soup – 5:2 Diet Celery Soup Recipe I’m still doing the 5-2 diet, despite all apparent appearances to the contrary. Some weeks I find I don’t have 2 days when I can fast, but I try to balance that out on the weeks when I am less busy. And I am slowly […]
5:2 Diet Frugal Fasting – Turkey Leftovers
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.

5:2 Diet 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 Recipe – Cauliflower and Jerusalem Artichoke Soup
Cauliflower and Jerusalem Artichoke Soup for the 5-2 Diet This is one of my favourite winter soups.

And, DO […]

5-2 Diet – The Fast Diet Review: As someone who has followed 5:2 now for a few months, I was really looking forward to the release of the 5-2 diet book. The Horizon TV programme was really illuminating and I’ve been doing pretty well so far using my own research and the advice of friends […]
Leek and Celeriac Gratin
5-2 diet leek and celeriac gratin and a full-fat option. Supper last night was not quite what I intended! I’ started with great plans to make a low-calorie leek and celeriac gratin and serve half of it with a salad and a quinoa burger. But, then my day seemed to vanish! In the end, as […]
5-2 Diet Made to Measure Vegetable Curry
Low-Calorie Vegetable Curry for the 5-2 Diet: I was sent a large box of rather beautiful organic fruit and vegetables from Soil and Seed last week. Now, when I was asked if I would like to trial one of the boxes I looked at the range currently on offer and was a little bit thrown. […]
Tomato Soup Recipe with Roasted Garlic and Basil – 5:2 Diet Recipes
Tomato Soup Recipe = Summer Flavours – A Fresh Soup Recipe with Roasted Garlic and Basil – 5:2 Diet Recipes: Tomato Soup with Roasted Garlic and Fresh Basil isn’t a recipe I make through the year.

Easy Healthy Eating – 5:2 Lifestyle Diet – Carrot and Celeriac Soup
Low-Calorie Carrot and Celeriac Soup with Coriander: I’ve been something of an irregular follower of the 5:2 diet over the last year. The result is that my weight has gradually crept up and I now feel a need to lose a few kilos again. Around 8kg would be perfect. For 2017, I’ve decided on a […]
