Antony Worrall Thompson's GI Diet is not just going to help you lose weight, it will also make sure you keep it off while still enjoying good food! Here are over 100 recipes that will taste unlike any other diet you've ever been on. Antony Worrall Thompson, advocate of both good food and healthy eating, has created recipes that are not only GI-friendly, but also completely irresistable.

The Glycaemic Index is a measure of how fast carbohydrates are broken down into glucose by your body, and therefore how fast they raise blood sugar levels. Foods are divided into low, medium and high GI. Low GI foods are slower to digest, making you feel less hungry and helping you lose weight. Dietician Mabel Blades has simplified it all so all you have to do is follow her advice and watch the weight drop off while Antony Worrall Thompson's recipes combine modern ingredients with his own trademark flair for simple, satisfying food. Authors: Antony Worrall Thompson, Dr Mabel Blades, Jane Suthering.

'Gives you the lowdown on the 'better-than-Atkins' diet that promises to be a safe, healthy and long-term way to lose weight - and keep it off, includes 120 delicious recipes.' Essentials Magazine

This is the follow-up to Antony Worrall Thompson's best-selling GI Diet and a must for those, who have adapted their diet to the sound principles of the Glycaemic Index. The GI Diet explained how to manage the blood sugar levels to help weight loss and long-term good health.

The GL (glycaemic load) is a recent development of these principles and measures more accurately the carbohydrate load of food. This means that foods that had previously been considered high GI, e.g. melon, can now be introduced into your diet, as the amount of carbs you would eat in a portion, rather than the whole melon, is calculated, giving you a greater understanding of combining foods to bring down the overall GL. Antony Worrall Thompson has created 100 delicious recipes based on the GL to help readers lose weight and eat sensibly, with a much wider selection of foods than ever before.

The diet also makes way for a greater range of desserts and treats (as the carb calculation is more precise). Whether you are already a fan of the GI and looking to expand your recipe collection, or if you are new to the GI-GL, this book will help you to eat healthily, lose weight, but still enjoy food. Authors: Antony Worrall Thompson, Dr Mabel Blades.

A healthy heart requires a healthy diet; one that includes food designed to lower cholesterol such as lean meats, oily fish, nuts and low-fat dairy produce. However such virtuous eating need not compromise on flavour, let alone sacrifice it. In the first book written by a reknowned chef for people concerned with heart disease, Paul Gayler has devised over 100 recipes that combine irreproachable health credentials with gourmet flair. Working closely with a leading nutritionist he explains the causes of coronary disease and shows how simple changes in our cooking and eating habits can reduce our daily cholesterol intake - for example substituting herbs and lemon juice for oils when dressing vegetables. These mouth-watering recipies cater for all tastes and appetites, from feeding a family to healthy fast food and stylish entertaining, proving once and for all that good food can be good for you too. Authors: Paul Gayler, Jacqui Lynas.
