This hot sunny day was this time last week on the Isle of Wight beach.
Just posting to remind us what our brief experience of Summer was like and give us hope it will return…..
Start each meal with a teaspoon of sauerkraut. (Fermented foods are great for good gut health and getting your digestion going)
Good oil contains Omega 3 which is good for your brain, joints.
The omelette with chopped chives, spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms are a great combination of protein and low carbs. Did you know vegetables are good carbs?
Appetising and appealing food on a plate can be comprised of healthy low carb and protein ingredients. Including some good fats in your diet is better than eating low and no fat, as it can actually help your weightloss and help you feel satisfied.
The hormonal and metabolic benefits of eating more fat are great, but one of the best benefits might be the satiating effects of fat. Nothing is worse than eating a lower-calorie diet that leaves your hungry all the time. This is traditionally a huge problem in diets which deny you foods with a higher fat content such as nuts, fatty fish, cheese, and avocado.
Satiating fat leaves you feeling full. When the fat you eat hits your small intestine, it sets off a cascade of signals which includes the release of hormones such as CCK and PYY. These two hormones play a major role in appetite regulation and satiety; they leave you feeling full and satisfied. The more satiated you are, the less likely that you’re going to sneak in snacks between meals or pile on a second helping.
So for a weekend brunch I have cooked crispy free range streaky bacon, organic scrambled egg in a little organic salted butter, wilted spinach, baby Isle of Wight tomatoes, avocado, with some chopped red chillies.
And an Expresso coffee.
Have a lovely weekend.
Place kale first in a baking dish and lay a boned and filleted wild sea bass fillet on the top. I also added some fennel.
The fish is seasoned with olive oil salt pepper and lemon.
The kale is also sprinkled with olive oil or if you wish, coconut oil.
Bake for about 15 minutes.
A delicious, low carb and healthy meal!

A healthy iced coffee poolside
Fancy an icecream or a traditional iced coffee which are both full of sugar?
Instead you could make an expresso coffee and then put it in your blender or nutribullet with crushed ice and extra water. It will froth up and appear like a traditional iced coffee but with no calories or sugar.
Perfect and healthy for a hot day!
