August 30, 2012 by Fiona Maclean 15 Comments

5-2 Diet Recipe – Spicy Tomato and Lentil Soup Whether you are trying to follow the 5:2 diet or following a more conventional low-calorie diet, soups are a wonderful thing and this diet tomato soup, spiced up with chilli or paprika (or both) and thickened with healthy lentils is no exception.  Warming, filling and healthy […]

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 […]

Diet Celery Soup Recipe

Diet-Celery-Soup-recipe

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 […]

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 […]

5:2 Diet Curried Parsnip Soup

November 18, 2018 by Fiona Maclean 23 Comments

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

December 11, 2012 by Fiona Maclean 6 Comments

cauliflower + artichoke soup 5-2 diet

Cauliflower and Jerusalem Artichoke Soup for the 5-2 Diet This is one of my favourite winter soups.  And, although Jerusalem artichokes are quite expensive, it is worth adding one or two to the dish because they give a lovely nutty flavour and add just enough texture to make this soup thick and comforting.  And, DO […]

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 […]

The Fast Diet – Michael Mosley

January 5, 2013 by Fiona Maclean 34 Comments

The Fast Diet

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 […]

Celeriac and Leek Gratin 2

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 […]
