Pinch of Nom: They don’t do denial. They do delicious! 

Kay Featherstone and Kate Allinson’s weight-loss website, Pinch of Nom, is an online sensation. Their cookbook has made publishing history. Now they have a new six-month diet planner to help you reach your weight-loss goals. Here they explain how it works…

A REAL-LIFE PINCH OF NOM

As two chefs on a mission to lose weight, we started our recipe website Pinch of Nom to offer inspiration to slimmers on ways to shed unwanted pounds

As two chefs on a mission to lose weight, we started our recipe website Pinch of Nom to offer inspiration to slimmers on ways to shed unwanted pounds without feeling deprived. We’re not dictating to people which diet they should follow and what they should eat. For us it’s all about the recipes. We share the dishes we make with others and every now and then we ask our followers what they want and do our best to provide healthier options.

All our recipes are calorie-friendly without compromising on taste, and compatible with the UK’s major diet plans, so they can work for people following particular popular weight-loss programmes, as well as calorie counting.

They’re very family-friendly, so no one has to make two or three separate meals each night. Plus every recipe has been tested by our wonderful team of taste testers.

Today’s special pullout section includes four exclusive recipes from our new food planner – they can’t be found anywhere else – plus some all-time favourites from our cookbook and from pinchofnom.com. We really hope you enjoy them all!

HOW OUR RECIPES WORK

To help you plan, we divide our recipes into categories. Here’s a quick rundown. It’s explained in full detail in the mini planner.

Everyday Light

We believe in the ethos of ‘everything in moderation’. With this in mind, our Everyday Light recipes are those you can have at any time: they’re easy on the calories, filling and perfect for every day.

Weekly Indulgence

These are recipes that have one or two ingredients that make them slightly more indulgent, so use in moderation.

Special Occasion

Lower in calories than regular desserts snacks and treats, save these for pushing the boat out.

Calorie counts

These are all worked out per individual serving. This does not include accompaniments for specific recipes, such as rice, potatoes or bread: we give these notes as a serving suggestion only.
