1tsp fennel seeds
A good pinch of dried oregano
Grated zest and juice of 1 lemon
300g chicken breast fillets, cut into chunks
4 thick woody sprigs of rosemary, most of
the leaves removed
Spray oil
160g spring greens, shredded
2 garlic cloves, crushed
A handful of parsley, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon, cut into wedges
1 Crush the fennel seeds in a pestle and mortar and stir
in the oregano, lemon zest and juice. Add the chicken
chunks and turn them in the lemony mixture.
2 Thread the chicken onto 4 woody sprigs of rosemary
(or wooden skewers that have been soaked in water
for 30 minutes to prevent them burning). Cover and
chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.
3 Spray the chicken skewers lightly with oil and cook
under a preheated hot grill or on a barbecue for 10
minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown inside
and cooked right through.
4 Meanwhile, steam the spring greens until just tender
(they should retain a little ‘bite’). Stir in the garlic and
season to taste.
5 Serve the chicken skewers, sprinkled with chopped
parsley, with the spring greens. Squeeze the lemon
wedges over the top.

Manage your weight
this summer
Whether you are staying at home or
going away here are some ideas to
help you through.
It takes just four pints of water a day to
avoid feeling tired and groggy. Keep a
water bottle with you and hit that water
goal each day it will help you feel less
hungry too.
Choose your indulgence. If you are going
out for dinner, have a small light lunch or
a meal replacement. If you are going to
have an afternoon ice cream then avoid
dessert at dinner.
Choose fresh local healthy food. Enjoy
the local fish, fruit and vegetables.
Enjoy yourself. If you deprive yourself
too much theres a chance you’ll feel like
you’ve missed out and be tempted to
overindulge. Just chose carefully.
I recommend that my clients use at
least one Cambridge Weight Plan meal
replacement a day and keep in touch
with me for support and advice.
Avoid those savoury snacks. You are going
to have a meal, don’t fill up on those
nibbles beforehand.
Choose a small side plate and fill most of
it with salad. Choose some lean meat or
fish from the BBQ or take some healthy
options with you to avoid
burgers and sausages.
Before you go out plan
what you are going to
have and stick to it. Its
down to you and no one
else so take responsibility
and you’ll be really proud
of yourself afterwards.
The empty calories in
alcohol don’t satisfy your
appetite and often lead to over eating. If
you decide that you are going to drink
then add low calorie mixers to your drink
to make them last longer.
Get off the chair and join in the fun! Kick a
ball around, play with the kids or move
around chatting to people, its all less
time eating!
