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 […]

March 11, 2018 by Fiona Maclean 10 Comments

Celeriac Soup with Croutons

Low-Calorie Celeriac Soup Recipe. As any regular reader of London-Unattached may have noticed I share recipes for a lot of home-made soup.  Celeriac Soup is one of my own personal favourites – I love the taste of celery and by using celeriac I can avoid the stringy bits on normal celery you are supposed to […]

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 […]

Low Calorie Leek and Potato Soup

January 27, 2018 by Fiona Maclean 46 Comments

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 […]

Low Calorie Miso Glazed Black Cod and More

January 5, 2018 by Fiona Maclean 5 Comments

Miso Glazed Black Cod - Low Calorie

Two Low-Calorie Healthy Ideas for Alaskan Black Cod For years I thought black cod was the same fish that I buy from the supermarket to make fish pie or fish and chips.  Perhaps better sourced, perhaps better cooked.  I’ve eaten miso-glazed black cod in some of London’s top restaurants.  And, I just thought that the […]

5:2 Diet Frugal Fasting – Turkey Leftovers

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 […]

Spicy Prawn and Coconut Asian Noodle Bowl – 5:2 Diet Recipe

October 10, 2017 by Fiona Maclean 4 Comments

Prawn and Zero Noodle Coconut Chilli Bowl

Spicy Prawn and Coconut Noodle recipe with Coriander and Ginger: Dieting in the summer is so much easier – somehow as the nights close in and the temperature drops, our minds turn to sticky toffee pudding, sausages and mash and delicious calorific food that really doesn’t work on a fast day.  But, despair not.  There […]
