Tea and coffee
Meg I have two questions :

1. Are you vegetarian?
2. What is the 5-2 eating plan? is that where you eat light healthy food for 5 days and then have some yummy stuff at the weekend?


How do you stave off cravings? (sorry that's a 3rd question! )

Hi Annie
I am an almost vegetarian ,I do eat meat occasionally.

The 5-2 (diet) was devised by Dr Michael Mosley but it is a lifestyle not a diet for me.
For 5 I days I eat what is normal for me (approx 1500 calories from healthy food I don't count every calorie ) then I eat less for 2 days.
It was originally supposed to be 800 calories for 2 days but I have about 1000 and the 2 days don't need to be together.

I don't really get cravings these days. I have been following this regime for almost 4 years . When I did I would eat some celery, a little carrot or tomato or a few almonds.
Eating healthily is no hardship for me, if I can't for some reason I crave my way of eating .

'Yummy stuff' for me is dried apricots and nuts. When I make cakes for the family I will have a little one but can live without it.

Re: The healthy eating challenge!

Reading all your healthy eating foods has made me realise how unhealthily I eat especially in lockdown...I seem to have drifted into an ...oh what the heck attitude. Ok I can do this.... today is the first day of the rest of my life.....no more pies

Traditional full Irish is bacon, egg, sausage, white pudding, black pudding, saute potatoes, tomato, field mushrooms - all fried and served with Soda bread (fresh or toasted) and butter.

Modern (American) version sometimes includes baked beans and hash browns.
