Festive fasting with friends

The festive season is upon us! For many this will mean parties, family gatherings and celebrations with friends.

The spirit of the festive season embraces kindness, generosity and thinking of other people. Regardless of culture or religion, sharing meals with loved ones unites and strengthens relationships.

For some people, making healthy food choices during the silly season can feel overwhelming but we believe that fresh and healthy food can easily be at the heart of any celebration. Not only that, a healthy festive share plate can look and taste as spectacular (if not more spectacular) than some of the more traditional but less healthy alternatives!

At The Fast 800, we encourage you to enjoy social activities whilst still doing your body a favour. The more you can plan and prepare for any event by integrating the philosophies of a lowish-carb, Med-style diet, the more you will be able enjoy yourself at gatherings.

These are some of our favourite dishes to share over the festive season:

Give yourself the best gift this year by staying on track throughout your festivities. Be kind to yourself and know that you don’t have to fall off the wagon to enjoy yourself – in fact, why not make some room on the wagon for your nearest and dearest with our festive share choices!
