Thai food can sometimes have a bad reputation for being high in fat and sugar. A great way to indulge in your favourite foods without worry is to make a healthy pad thai version at home.

This is a really simple and Healthy Pad Thai recipe that has all the flavour but none of the bad stuff and you won’t have to feel guilty if you add it to your plan on the 28 Day Weight Loss Challenge.

Customise it to your own tastes (try prawns or tofu instead of chicken; or more chilli if you like it hot).
