5:2 Diet: Chicken and White Bean Stew

March 19, 2014 By jbmumofone 3 Comments

5:2 Diet: Chicken and White Bean Stew

Although we are no longer doing the 5:2 diet I recently made this stew from the BBC Good Food Magazine and think that it would make a perfect evening meal option. It is healthy, cheap, filling and only 291 calories per serving, (without the bread). It was also really simple to make and even the toddler liked it, despite the vegetables! For this recipe you will need: 2 tbsp sunflower oil 400g boneless, skinless chicken thighs, trimmed and cut into chunks 1 onion, finely chopped 3 carrots, finely chopped 3 celery sticks, finely chopped 2 thyme sprigs or ½ tsp dried ...

5:2 Diet: Delicious Chicken Pilau

November 2, 2013 By jbmumofone 5 Comments

5:2 Diet: Delicious Chicken Pilau

This chicken pilau is really tasty and really filling and at just 455 calories per serving it is perfect for the 5:2 diet. I am finding more and more with this diet that it is easier for me to go almost the whole day without eating much at all, perhaps the occasional breadstick or two, and then having a decent evening meal than trying to split my 500 calorie allowance between lunch and dinner. If you are the same then this is definitely one to try. This recipes makes two servings. You will need: 6 sprays of 1 cal cooking spray 2 skinless chicken breasts, approx 150g each, ...

5:2 Diet: Delicious Chicken and Spinach Curry

Despite only losing 1lb last week I am really starting to enjoy the 5:2 diet and almost find myself looking forward to fast days.  Weird eh? Today's recipe has been a huge hit with both me and Mr B and last night we actually found ourselves getting quite full before we had even finished. I found this one on a really useful 5:2 app that I have been using which you can find here. 1 tbsp vegetable oil 4 chicken breasts, halved lengthways 1 onion, thinly sliced 2 garlic cloves, chopped 1 green chilli, chopped 4 cardamom pods, lightly crushed 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 tsp ...

5:2 Diet: Pork, Courgette and Mushroom Stew

5:2 Diet: Pork, Courgette and Mushroom Stew

One of the things that I am really loving about the 5:2 diet is that it is making me revisit some old recipes. I am also coming to realise that low fat food can actually be super tasty. I am not sure how much weight I lost last week as am due to weigh in two days time so will keep you posted. For tonight's dinner I have prepared an old Weightwatchers recipe that I managed to dig out. Here is what you will need: 350g pork tenderloin or fillet cut into strips 1 large onion, chopped 400g chopped tomatoes 150ml red wine 1 tbsp tomato puree 150ml vegetable stock 1 tsp herbes ...

Belly-busting with the 5:2 diet and a little bit of shredding.

September 6, 2013 By jbmumofone 15 Comments

Belly-busting with the 5:2 diet and a little bit of shredding.

Desperate to lose some of the baby-weight I have recently embarked on the 30 day shred once again. Whilst it feels great to be exercising again I am not too happy with the rate of weight loss. Patience is not a particular strength of mine. Not being one to let any new diet or exercise fad pass me by I have decided to give the 5:2 diet a go. I know several bloggers have had great success with it, the lovely Steph from I'm Counting UFOZ and Lucy from The Mummy Returns to name but two. Today is my first day and this is what I have just had for lunch. The recipe is actually one I got ...

Welcome!

Jbmumofone is written by me, jbmumofone, and this blog is my baby. Although clearly I didn’t think this name through because I’m now a mum of two actual babies.

I blog because I love to write, and for sanity’s sake, and have been blogging since August 2011. So why not dig on in and explore?
