Product Description

The Low-GL Diet Cookbook is perfect for everyone who wants to lose weight quickly yet still enjoy great-tasting food. It features a range of recipes that do not raise your blood sugar quickly and hence have a low glycemic load, or GL. Based on the latest research, top nutritionist Patrick Holford explains that by having no more than 40 GLs a day and eating protein with carbohydrate, you can not only lose weight quickly and permanently but also improve your health and feel truly energised. The book is packed with delicious tried-and-tested recipes that are both easy to follow and simple to prepare. The GL of each recipe is clearly calculated for you, so it's easy to stick to your daily limit, and with menu plans and recipes for both weight-loss and maintenance, The Low-GL Diet Cookbook will enable you to beat cravings and lose weight permanently.

About the Author

'Patrick Holford is founder of the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in London and the author of more than 20 health books. Fiona McDonald Joyce is a trained cook who works with Patrick Holford, lecturing on 'low GL' food and creating recipes following optimum nutrition principles.

4.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly simple & delicious recipes, 7 Nov 2006

By	Alexandra Ellard (Sutton Coldfield, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is fantastic. I bought it because I had his nutrition bible and valued his judgement on good healthy food. When I first got it I was disappointed because it didn't have any pictures but I then sat down and started to read the recipes and they are lovely. I haven't touched the meat section because my husband doesn't eat meat but we've done pretty much all the vegetarian meals and the fish dishes and the side dishes are yummie. I've only given it 4 stars though because I think to make it 5 stars it would need to do the following: Have pictures so you can see what you're making and secondly section the recipes so you know what is in season. I know these days you can pretty much get anything you want in the shops whether it's in season or not but with sustainability becoming a bigger issue then I think it's important to buy food that's in season and as local as possible. They would be my only criticisms.

5.0 out of 5 stars This one works!, 20 Feb 2006

By	"absolutenut" - See all my reviews

As a nutritionist I am delighted to find a diet/cookbook to recommend to my clients that I know is full of delicious and easy to follow recipes that will result in safe, effective weight loss. All of my clients that I have recommended this to, and who have stuck to it, have successfully lost weight and found it easy. There are no cravings or hunger pangs commonly found with other diets, it is a very nutritionally balanced plan, but then what else would you expect from Patrick Holford!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good indeed, 5 Feb 2006

By	N. Morris (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The two most important things about this diet is that it works and it makes you feel great. the food looks good, tastes good and is easy and very quick to make. If the truth be known this doesn't feel like a diet at all - it just seems like good healthy eating with some useful facts on glycemic load to take the guess work out of it. I have been follwoing this for a month now and have lost 10lbs. The best thing is i never feel hungry and I have so much energy! The weight loss does start slowly - I only lost a lb in the first week but it is now so effective that I am consciously having to up my food intake to maintain my current weight.
