If you want to lose weight, take a look at your current diet and make some important swaps.
You can still eat your favourite foods, just healthier versions. For example, your Friday night fish and chip takeaway can be easily exchanged for Jamie Oliver’s fantastic fish skewers with zingy lentil salad and yoghurt, at just 507 calories per portion.
Jamie said this dish is “perfect for getting the whole family to enjoy eating fish”. He said: “This quick and easy dish is fun, fresh and zingy, and can be easily rustled up on a weeknight when you’re short on time. Pop them on the barbecue for bonus smoky flavour if the weather’s looking good.”
The recipe serves four people so is perfect for family dinner, but quantities can be amended depending on party size.
Budding chefs won’t be holed up in the kitchen for hours on end making this “super easy” fish dish, as it takes just 22 minutes to put on the table.

Losing weight might feel difficult but is totally possible if you take the right steps. The NHS has provided some guidance on how to do it responsibly.
Fill up on fruits and vegetables and aim to get your five-a-day. 80g of fresh, canned or frozen fruit or vegetables count as one portion.
Making key swaps can make a huge difference in achieving your weight loss goals. When reading food labels, try to go for ones with more green than orange or red. Exchange sugary drinks for water, adding slices of lemon or lime if you’re not too keen on taste. Try to cut down on foods that are high in sugar and fat, swapping your sugary cereal for a wholemeal variety.
Make realistic weight loss goals rather than attempting to lose it all at once. Aim to shed 1 to 2lbs, or 0.5 to 1kg, a week.
While a healthy diet is essential, getting enough exercise is fundamental too. The NHS recommends getting active for 150 minutes per week.
