Twelve (Fasting) Days until Christmas!

Start your fast today, and by Christmas Day you will have lost half a stone! Just two days fasting a week and five 'normal' days. I fast on a Monday and Friday which is easy, infact hardly noticeable. If you want to change a day, no problem but it's easier not to fast on consecutive days.













Hot smoked salmon and watercress linguine

A really luxurious treat for one if you’ve fasted all day and want to savour your calories in a single fast day dinner!


SERVES 1
Calories per serving: 464
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes

90g linguine 317 cals
50g watercress 13 cals
grated zest of 1⁄2 lemon and a squeeze of juice 4 cals
2 tbsp natural virtually fat-free fromage frais 15 cals
salt and pepper
50g hot smoked salmon flakes 115 cals

● Cook the linguine in a large pan of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions. Drain (reserving a cupful of the cooking water), return to the pan and set aside.
● Place half the watercress, the lemon zest and a squeeze of juice, and the fromage frais in a small blender. Season with salt and pepper and blend together until smooth.
● Stir the watercress sauce through the cooked linguine, adding a little of the reserved cooking water, as needed,to loosen the sauce. Gently mix in the reserved watercress and the smoked salmon flakes.

This way, you can enjoy Christmas, look and feel better.
