Back to real food (without punishment)
This is the point where people start talking about “being good again.”
We’re not doing that.
We’re just eating something warm, nourishing, and steady — the kind of meal that gently brings you back into your body.
Nutritional highlights
- Lentils = fibre + iron
- Warm food is easier on digestion
- Lemon brightens without heaviness

- 1 garlic clove
- 1–2 cups baby spinach

How to make it
- Warm olive oil in a pan. Add garlic.

Swaps & tips
- Add feta or a soft-boiled egg for protein
- Keeps well for next day lunch
- Great alongside grilled chicken or fish
This is reset food that doesn’t feel like a reset. Save it for future “in-between” days.
