Feeling sluggish? Feeling podgy? Or feeling like a fat bastard? Let’s be honest, if someone has told you you’re looking ‘voluptuous’ after the holidays, they’re definitely not talking about your face. Not only have we stuffed our faces over Christmas but the only ‘exercise’ we have done is walking to the fridge and back. But fear not, we have a meal plan that will help you fight off those sugar cravings and lose the chub. CUT THE GUT Breakfast 32 You know what they say ‘Breakfast is the most important meal of the day’ Well they probably have a point, there’s nothing worse than being in a lecture with your stomach growling so loud that people are giving you weird looks. Recipe: Get up early and swap the butter smothered croissants for some plain quark with honey. If you find this too tart try a flavoured quark but watch out for added whole fat yoghurt! Tip: Sprinkle some unsalted peanuts or banana on the top. You can also swap the honey for some fresh berries with a pinch of jam. This will take you a measly five minutes and will satisfy your sugar cravings without you feeling guilty. Lunch If you have the luxury of being at home then no excuses, whack out the eggs and cook up an easy-peasy omelette. Recipe: 2 Eggs, a dash of milk and some salt and pepper are the basics that will give you a protein fix. The best thing about an omelette is you can put literally anything in it, leftover meat and veg as well as cheese and spices. Tip: Try frying some leftover chicken in some chilli or Thai paste with some spinach and add your egg mix. This will give you a tasty flavoursome lunch in minutes.
