Despite negative speculation in the media regarding the future of the low-carb diet, this revolutionary dietary phenomenon continues to attract an enormous following. The lure of the rapid weight loss causes converts to radically adjust their dietary habits in order to meet the demands of the lifestyle. Yet for many, this is simply not an option. Particularly ardent critics of the diet include vegetarians who are offered no alternatives to the high meat content; and what of those of us with a sweet tooth or those who need natural fibre in their diet? In this groundbreaking new work, Dr Charles Clark has devised a low-carb, low GI plan that caters for all types of dietary requirement. It's vegetarian-friendly and nutritionally-balanced, allowing for previously sinful foods including pasta, pulses, fruit and puddings. What's more, he has set out to counter the criticisms of those who argue that low-carb lifestyles can be detrimental to health. A series of medical case studies proves how adopting a low-carbohydrate diet can in fact be of benefit in certain key areas of health. So, if you feared you could never be part of the low-carb crowd, look no further-this is the diet for becoming slim and healthy the low-carb, low GI way, without cutting out the foods you love! "We've all heard of Jen and Madonna using high protein diets to lose weight. It's a tricky one to follow safely, but with Prof Charles Clark's sensible approach-us mere mortals can do it too." - New Woman.

This review is from: The Healthy Low GI Low Carb Diet. Charles Clark & Maureen Clark (Paperback)
I was recently told by my doctor that I needed to lose some weight. I do have PCOS and being a woman who is about to turn 40, I was told that a low GI Diet and Low Carb was the only way to lose the weight. So I have been doing that and things have been going well. I saw this book and was very excited to try some new recipes. Now I am a decent cook and love food but the recipes in this book are ridiculous. 1st you do have to convert everything since all the recipes are in metric. Grams not ounces dear. Second there is no calorie count on any of the recipes. 3rd listen to some of recipes. Balti chicken with Tzatziki, gridded duck with lentil puree, Coconut Okra curry. OK so not my thing. Over half the items I would need are not available in My city (Phoenix). Also I am honestly not that adventures or curios to try most of these items. I know if you are doing this lifestyle change as I am , If your family is participating as well this book would be such a waste. There is for sure no kid friendly ones in here. I have honestly had much better results finding recipes online. Please don't waste your money like I did. Hope this is has been helpful.Simple girl , simple taste.
