Thai king prawn Laksa curry lunch in the sun today at Phat Phuk noodle bar London
Low carb and protein Thai lunch on London’s Kings road Chelsea. My favourite little cafe with Thai street food. Yummy healthy and inexpensive.

Friday’s healthy low carb and protein breakfast
Scrambled eggs cooked in organic butter, mushrooms, tomatoes and wilted spinach. What did you have for breakfast?
Light protein and complex carbs fish supper
Amarinth microseed leaves, Samphire, organic salmon fillet, baby new potatoes. New potatoes have a lower glycaemic index than baked potatoes. Low GI helps maintain blood sugar levels longer. Samphire greens are great for iron. Salmon is a good oily fish for Omega 3. Microseeds and microleaves are hugely nutritious.
Poolside Lobster pasta (wheatfree)
Would be rude not to! Lobster with gluten free, wheat free buckwheat and sweet potato pasta, smashed avocado with chillies, wilted spinach and olive oil. Yummy and healthy.

Parma ham with fresh figs and green pesto ( basil, pine nuts, garlic and olive oil) dressing and salad leaves.

This is a Thai prawn Laksa with broccoli, basil leaves, pal choi, a few rice noodles, big fat juicy prawns in a thick coconut broth flavoured with […]
