Dr. Clare shared her keto take on a delicious Italian classic. She swapped out pasta for a low-carb alternative, cabbage.
She told her 95,000 Instagram followers on her account @drclarebailey what inspired the clever diet dinner.
Clare said: “Inspired by a recent meal in an Italian restaurant of pasta, walnuts and Gorgonzola – a classic combination – but it was heavy, with claggy pasta and over-thickened sauce. It needed tweaking!
“So here is how it turned out when I made a keto version for lunch – much improved by swapping in sliced cabbage pappardelle, lighter, and with more zing thanks to a little cider vinegar and the juicy sweetness of the pears.
“All cooked in one pan. So easy.”
Clare added a slice of prosciutto for some extra protein.

2. Meanwhile Add the oil to the pan on a medium heat, toss in the cabbage, and cook, stirring occasionally for three to four minutes until al dente and still firm. stir in the thyme.
Clare recently shared a weight loss diet trick Michael Mosley uses “if the weight starts to creep on”.
She suggests followers try intermittent fasting if they are looking to lose weight.
“Whether you are looking for weight loss and/or the benefits of intermittent fasting (IF) this way of eating is flexible and can usually fit into your lifestyle,” she said.
She went on: “And if the weight starts to creep back on you do a few 800 cal days to get back on track. That’s what Michael does now and then.”
