   Lean meat – turkey is a good one. Pasta and rice (and bread) should be brown (yes I know it’s boring – that’s why it’s called healthy). Steamed veg and fish. Grilled meat and fish. Use spray oil or a little olive oil if you are frying stuff. Lots of fresh fruit and veg. Get at least five portions of fruit and veg a day – this can include smoothies, fruit juice, tinned and frozen fruit and veg and baked beans. Be sensible but don’t cut out everything otherwise food will become boring and you’ll crave something ‘naughty’.

   The less processed food is the better it is for you. So a big dish of crunchy raw veggies is a must for summer nibbles. I love grilled swordfish with chilli and a big salad.

   Grilled Dover Sole with lemon – serve with salad and fresh bread. Pricey, but nice (and healthy!)

   I love steamed fish with steamed veg and the lovely new potatoes that are out at the moment. I am having this for dinner tonight. I will indulge myself with a little butter on it, !!!!

   Get some General Tso’s sauce from the supermarket. (I like the Iron chef brand). Mix up some sauteed chicken (or tofu) with broccoli and sauce then put on top of brown rice.

   Make a yummy smoothie every day. Use yogurt, silken tofu, unsweetened frozen fruit, and juice. Put a scoop of whey powder (protein) into it. That will help you build muscle without fat.

   When I first got into eating healthy, the George Foreman grill became my best friend. You can grill up chicken in a few minutes for awesome grilled chicken salads.

   This is my new favorite recipe. There’s only 150 calories and 3 fat grams per serving.

   Spinach-Cheese Bake

   1 tbs butter
   Cooking spray
   2 (6-ounce) packages fresh baby spinach
   1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
   3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded Monterey Jack cheese
   1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (about 5 3/4 ounces)
   1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
   1 cup egg substitute
   1 teaspoon salt
   1 teaspoon baking powder
   2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
   1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
   1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
   1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

   Preheat oven to 350°.
   Pour the butter into the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray; tilt dish to coat. Place spinach evenly in bottom of dish; sprinkle evenly with cheeses.

   Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl; stir with a whisk until blended. Pour milk mixture over cheese. Bake at 350° for 40 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve immediately.

   I find the healthiest recipe is

   Fresh air and side steps . . .

   with a run around the table for dessert.

   My mum used to cook this for us when we were younger and all three of us kids have great figures 🙂

    Hummus – the best food ever. Has protien, Omega 3 (olive oil), got your garlic for heart, fiber, fills you up, but won’t slow you down.

    It’s cheap to make and it will keep for a few days if covered and refrigerated properly. The secret to really good hummus is the Tahini sauce (ground sesame) and the best comes from Lebanon.

    You should eat mediterranean food: pasta, pizza, rice, bread, a lot of fish, fruit and vegetables. Don’t use butter but olive oil. Eat meat, eggs and cheese only once a week.

    one of the healthiest dishes and has the most flavour is a Japanese curry. You don’t need to add any oil.You can get the curry paste from most Chinese supermarkets. Boil what ever vegetables you want and grill any meat put in a wok with a little water add the paste (it comes in cubes) you normally only need 1 for 2 people. Add more water and leave. It thickens up naturally. You can add a little tomato ketchup for flavour. It has a little sweet flavour to it. Its totally different to Indian and Chinese Curry’s.
