Decent chinese style stir fry: Rice, Soy sauce based sauce, broccoli, carrots, spring onion, ginger, galic, chili, chicken. All fried up and eaten with chop sticks. Low fat and tasty.

Risotto. Use creme fraiche instead of cream and low fat marg instead of butter. So many ways though to make it delicious.

pick 3 vegetables; pumpkin, parsnip, red pepper for example.
peel if necessary, chop into chunks, chuck them in the oven for 20 mins.
put the cooked chunks in a big saucepan, cover with hot water from the kettle, add some salt, ground black pepper and a pinch or 2 of chilli powder. (a teaspoon of bouillon and a bay leaf work wonders at this stage).
whizz it up a bit with a hand blender, leave a few chunks, stuff it in your face with some chunky bread.
if you make loads, this can see you through a few days of lunches.
(the problem with dieting with your girlfriend, is that get seriously huffy when you lose more weight, and faster, than they do...)

I'm with you FoxyChick, but I'm curious what your point of view is?
It's nice to see someone else rejecting conventional - and misguided - convention.
Posted 2 years ago # -
why misguided convention?
if someone is overweight or not eating a healthy diet
they need to change there habits??
or am i reading this wrong?Posted 2 years ago # -
Why not just move a bit more and eat less rubbish? It's not that complex really.

There are none.
Meals with fat taste better for good reason.Posted 2 years ago # -
Well, the idea that a low-fat diet is healthy and good for you is bunkum. We have been well and truly sold a lie there.
If you follow a low fat diet - as recommended by most health professionals - you are actually increasing your risk of illness. Strange, but largely true.
The most effective way to reduce weight and eat healthy is cutting down on processed foods - in particular to reduce sugar and carb intake.
See if you can get hold of the movie fathead - interesting stuff about how the existing diet orthodoxy is largely wrong and how it is being challenged. That of course is not the complete story, but it will give you a good entry point to the debate.

Stop eating when you are full and move about more.
