      Have as much as you like of the salad ingredients – but only 1 tbsp of home-made salad dressing.

       Mixed Sprouts

      Mixed sprouts are a wonderful addition to salads. These are easy to grow, delicious and highly nutritious, providing, weight for weight, more nutrients than virtually any other food. They are an excellent source of vitamin A, C and the B complex, fibre and protein. And they are so cheap – 1 packet, costing £1.99, keeps me in sprouts for a week! They are easily available at garden centres and health-food stores. I tend to buy mixed sprouts in packets which contain a lovely variety of delicious seeds. Some common sprouts are: alfalfa, fenugreek, peas, clover, broccoli, mung, and chick pea – but many more are available.

      Caution: If you have lupus do not use alfalfa sprouts as they may trigger a reaction.

       How to Grow Sprouts

      You need a jam jar, an elastic band and either a muslin cloth, a Jay cloth or similar. Put 1 tbsp of seeds into the jam jar and place the cloth over the top, fastening it into place. Half fill the jar with warm (not hot) water, gently shake the jar and then pour the water out without removing the cover. Place the jar on its side in a warm dark place. Repeat the process every day; on day 3 place the jar in the light. The sprouts will be ready to eat after about 4–5 days.

       Fruit

      All fruits are allowed in the amounts shown in the daily menus. The best fruits for weight control are ogen and cantaloupe melons, raspberries and strawberries. Buy your fruits and vegetables in season and as fresh as possible. If possible, buy organic as they are free from chemical sprays and are grown in soils fertilised naturally.
