- Smoked salmon, kale and 2 poached eggs excellent choice for a fast meal
- Foods to eat on a non-fasting day
- Foods you have promised yourself on a fast day
- Vegetables rather than treats
- Try wherever possible to add vegetables rather than treats. Not when you first start but as you get into things.
- Vegetables with higher calories
- Avocados - great with balsamic vinegar or some grated parmesan
- Parsnip - great roasted. Just par-boil them for 3 minutes and then add spray oil
- Kale - My staple go to. Great with smoked salmon and poached eggs on a fast day. Always steam. Also great in smoothies
- Peas - I am not a lover of peas not because I don’t like the taste but because they annoy me. These are great because they have a high calorific value. Steam them
- Beet - goats cheese and citrus salad, beetroot risotto
- Artichoke - Just eat them on their own. Chargrilled with lemon, artichoke salad, red onion and rosemary risotto
- Brussels Sprout - with bacon and chestnuts, with pistachio and pomegranate, creamed with chestnuts
- Dandelion - warm potato salad with shallot dressing
- Crosne - with halibut
- I try and do this during the week and let chocolate and alcohol in at the weekend !!
