NUTRITION CONSULTANT IAN MARBER SAYS…

“Jenny’s fasting diet acts to limit calorie intake. Eating main meals containing protein and vegetables further restricts calories, which is why these diets tend to work for weight management. However, she isn’t getting enough fibre. Adding wholegrains to main meals would change this.

“Jenny might also have a small snack of plain yoghurt with berries to add some beneficial bacteria as well as carotenoids, plant chemicals with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory potential. Obviously, this would be better than deep-fried potatoes or chocolate, but every diet should contain delights such as a Curly Wurly!”
