    Another thing I like is salad as a full meal. Microwave a generous portion of frozen sweetcorn, add it to a pack of mixed salad leaves and add some flavourful cheese (e.g. Blue Stilton or feta). You can also add slices of red onions, tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber or whatever you fancy. Drizzle some olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar on it if you want to, but it's really optional as the cheese in itself does the job of adding flavour.

    I low carb to keep diabetes in remission, so those & lovely crisps are off the menu. They were my preferred snacks, as I'm a savoury not a sweet tooth. So my go to are pork scratchings, cheese or a few nuts. I'm very lucky, today, Szymon (just found out the spelling of his name) brought me round some beetroot hummus, regular but special hummus & some lentil crisp things, a bit carby, but a 'couple' a day won't hurt. I've never been into natural yoghurt or kefir (although that's a kind of new thing) but my tastes have changed & I don't mind them 'neat'. The pesto tagliatelle was good & simple, ta!

    Re protein....I can barely tolerate traditional protein sources - poultry, fish, beef or pork. I just gag when eating it and can't digest it if I manage to get it down. So I've found it helps using very small portions and using organic sources. But typically I get most of my protein from beans, chickpeas, dairy products, eggs and protein powders. For the protein powders, I use peanut powder that's just defatted and dehydrated, and the whey powder is quite pure too with just 2 ingredients.

    Since I've improved my dietary protein, my mental and physical health have improved a lot. Mind you, I'm still not the poster child for health 😊. Maybe those tips can help others.

    I really enjoy fish and chips with a jumbo sausage and vinegar. It's the only time I like a bit of salt too, usually I don't like salt on anything, but I can't have it anymore because of high blood pressure.

    Hi Bib, toasted sourdough with olive oil or peanut butter and rice cakes with tahini are quick and easy snacks for me.

    To replace greasy crisps, I recommend lightly salted rice crackers from Lidl for when you want that savoury crunch without spoiling your appetite. Pringles contain x14 more saturated fats than these crackers..

    For a quick and easy meal, I keep pouches of rice/quinoa which take 2 minutes to heat and top them with cold sardines or mackerel mashed in lemon juice and balsamic vinegar. Delicious! Scrambled eggs can be ready in under 2 minutes with less washing up..

    There is no such thing as "too much" cheese!!

    I'm having minted lamb steaks, crispy potatoes, savoy cabbage and minted lamb gravy. Really looking forward to it, it's currently my favourite meal!
