Answer 1

First of all, from now on, use olive oil.
Also, if you have to eat fruits, eat them 2 hours before or after the meal.

OK, here are some very good 100% diet recipes

EGGPLANTS PUREE :
Grill the whole eggplant on the barbecue until you can peel the skin easily.
In a pot, smash them with olive oil and some whole peeled tomatoes, salt, pepper.
You can also add crushed garlic.
Eat it warm or very cold

GREEN BEANS & TOMATOES :
Boil or steam the beans for a few minutes.
In a frying pan, put some olive oil, sliced onions, whole or diced
peeled tomatoes (drained of the juice).
When the liquid you'll get has evaporate a little add the beans, salt and pepper and stir.
Cook on medium heat until the tenderness you like.

GRILLED VEGETABLES :
4 zuchini
2 eggplants
4 yellow zuchinis
olive oil
thyme, salt & pepper

In an aluminium foil, put all the vegetables that you would have sliced or diced,
the salt, pepper, thyme and olive oil,
close the foil but leav a little opening, and cook on the barbecue.
Very simple and very tasty. In fact you can do the same proces with any vegetables.
Portobella or wild mushrooms are great like this.

LEEKS VINAIGRETTE :
Boil or steam leeks. Serve very cold with this vinaigrette
Vinaigrette :
red wine vinegar
peanut or sunflower oil
dijon mustard
salt & pepper
All mixed together

Use the same dressing with cold asparagus, excellent too

RATATOUILLE (for 6 people) :
4 zucchinis
4 bell peppers of different colors
3 eggplants
2 big onions (sliced)
5 crushed garlic cloves
thyme & bay leaves
1 cup of olive oil
2 big cans of whole peeled tomatoes
salt & pepper

Diced the vegetables (all of them), not too thick and not thin.
In a pot, put the butter, the sliced onion, crushed garlic.
When the onions are golden, add the peeled tomatoes (drained
the max you can of their juice), the
thyme and bay leaves, salt pepper (a little).
Let the liquid evaporate and then add first the bell peppers,
salt & pepper ( a little), then 10 minutes after,
the zucchini & eggplants, salt & pepper, a little.
You can serve this hot, or very cold as an apetizer

TOMATOES PROVENCALES (fast & easy) :
Cut the tomatoes in half.
Put a touch of olive oil, salt, pepper and crushed garlic, shredded parsley and
bread crumb (the thin kind) on top of each pieces of tomatoes.
Put in the oven at 400° but careful that the tomatoes remain firm and don't overcooked.


FLANK STEAK, SHALLOTS & VINEGAR :
1 big flank steak (or skirt steak)
tons of sliced shallots
1 1/2 glass of vinegar
butter
salt & pepper

In a pan, put some olive oil, then when melted, add the shallots, a little salt & pepper and when golden, take them out and put the steak in the pan, salt & pepper again.
Cook on medium heat. When golden on both size, add the shallots and the vinegar and let it reduced a little.
When you have an homogeneous sauce, it's done.

Good luck with the diet, and remember, if you pass the first week, you're home free girl ;-)

Answer 2

Cous-cous, the quickest easiest low-fat meal going. Buy home-brand from Tesco (don't use Sainsbury's as it is a nightmare)
Simply disolve a stock-cube in 1/2 litre of water, bring to the boil in the pan, where you can add some sliced frozen peppers or mixed veg (even Quorn pieces if the mood takes you), once your veg is cooked after about 2 mins and the water has come back to the boil simply add a tablespoon of olive oil and then the cous-cous (leave about an inch of water above), give it a quick stir, cover and remove from the heat. 5 minutes later and hey presto...it's ready. Just fluff with a fork and a touch more olive oil to seperate the grains. A really good substitute for rice or pasta and very very quick.
My son does it for himself and he has lost over 5 stones in as many months (obviously cutting out the crisps etc too)
And there is plenty of room to experiment with it. Once cooked you can use it to stuff peppers, cabbage leaves (simply braise individual leaves of savoy cabbage for a couple of mins then use them to make parcels with the cous-cous).
And if you need to up your protein levels then mix it with soya mince (also available from Tesco). Simply soak the soya as directed on the packet but use stock to soak it as opposed to water to impart more flavour. i would suggest a blend of around 75% cous-cous to 25% soya. Good luck!!!

Answer 6

One handfull of strawberries (detrimental in energy, because of fact it takes extra energy to chew them than there are in them!) One handfull of blueberries, raspberries, as those are antioxidants and are reliable on your epidermis. Even upload some milk in case you could decide to mixture them jointly.
