The High-energy Cookbook: Low-GI Recipes for Weight Loss and Vitality

Customer Review

At last! A practical guide to healthy eating!

This book is already by far the most used cookery book I have: it's not just about weight loss, but also how to get through the day without reaching for a Mars bar at 4pm for that sugar boost!

The best thing about it is that virtually every meal can be made in under 20 minutes, and you don't have to make your own stock or buy ingredients which you'll hardly ever use. Particular favourites are the chicken chilli chickpea salad, and the asparagus wrapped in parma ham. I did the asparagus for a friend, and she now thinks I'm the next Nigella!

The other useful thing is, if you're taking the GI diet really seriously, you'll find out everything you need to know but were afraid to ask at the start of the book - and thank God for the section on low GI options if you're eating out. At last someone appreciates that you might want to go for a Chinese without being the only one eating a salad!

All in all, a great buy - highly recommended.
