Rather than going for 'diet' recipes why not just pick healthy low fat things, for example: Seared tuna in a soy, garlic, ginger and (tiny bit of) honey marinade, cooked in a griddle pan with negligible amounts of oil wiped over it Salad nicoise with an oil light, balsalmic, garlic and mustard heavy dressing Home made chicken soup with lots of vegetables Home made minestrone soup with only a tiny bit of oil/bacon Smoked trout/salmon terrine with horseradish dressing, rocket salad and boiled new potatoes Baked aubergine with cherry tomatoes, red onion and a small sprinkling of parmesan Melon with parma ham Baked bananas with low fat Greek yoghurt And use posh dark chocolate if you get a craving, 'cos that way you need to eat less to feel satisfied -----Original Message----- From: Jakob Whitfield [mailto:jakob.whitfield@xxxxx.xxx] Sent: 16 July 2007 17:01 To: london.food@xxxxxxxxxx.xxx Subject: Re: [london.food] Low fat food Me and the missus decided to try the dieting thing a while ago, and I had much the same reaction to lots of the healthy recipes I saw. We used the Grauniad's online dieting thingy which I believe is a rebranded e-diets. A fair amount of tasty stuff there if you look through. I found that the most important/useful thing was really seeing how much food is in x-hundred calories, and realising that in order to be losing weight I needed to be eating 15-20% less - OR eating less fat/meat/carbs and more veg. I did feel hungry for the first few days mind. Alas like many things I have started to slip back into my bad old ways so I may have to try and instill discipline again before my GP starts muttering about my cholesterol. -JakobThere's stuff above here
