Slim to Win: Diet and Cookbook

Childrens Toy Shop > Food and Drink > Diets and Healthy Eating
by: Rosemary Conley

October 02, 2008
I have just spent my lunchtime pouring over this book, and I cannot wait to try the recipes out. Rosemary starts out with her usual splurg about dieting, and then explains about the Slim to Win Diet. There is a fat attack to start your diet, or you can simply personalise your own diet, and after looking through the book, you cannot fail by personalising. There are starters, lunches, recipes for meat eaters, fish eaters and vegetarians, and whole section on roasts and also a fail free christmas menu, and for those of you who have a sweet tooth a whole section on puddings. I simply cannot recommend this enough -

The Really Useful Ultimate Student Cookbook

Childrens Toy Shop > Food and Drink > Diets and Healthy Eating
by: Silvana Franco

September 15, 2007
I got a copy of this book in the old cover style and it has definitely been a lifesaver.

All the recipes are easy, you don't need any fancy equipment and the dishes range from incredibly cheap to something to splash out on (Like the vodka chili!!) although the majority of them will definitely not break the bank.

Although it is a student cookbook I'd recommend it to anyone as some meals are impressive enough to serve to guests, but it also has fun family meals as well. All quantities are for 2 people so easy to divide or multiply up as well. I also like the snacks and standbys section at the end which has great lunchtime recipes.

This book was written by combining the Student cookbook and the Vegetarian student ... Read More:

I am a current sport therapy student at university. This is the book that we were recommended by top physiotherapist. This book is easy to read and easy to understand, it will teach you everything you will need to know and has clear and easy to flow photos of how to treat different injuries that your client might have. It is well worth the money

Childrens Toy Shop > Food and Drink > Diets and Healthy Eating
by: Marisa Peer

January 03, 2008
No other book that I have ever read has had such an affect on my life. I have tried every single diet there is going to try to loose weight and have had absolutely no success. I was about to give up and accept that I would be over-weight forever, when I heard about Marisa's book. I read it in one-sitting and have never looked back. I have now lost four stone and have never felt so happy and energetic. Marisa's programme has transformed my relationship with food, this really works and I would recommend everybody to read it.

Deceptively Delicious: Sneaky Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Foods

Childrens Toy Shop > Food and Drink > Diets and Healthy Eating
by: Jessica Seinfeld

October 04, 2007
This book is fab. I cook for twins who are 19 months old so I adapt the receipes to suit them. I think the recipes are very yummy, and my kids think so too. The aloha Kebabs are delicious - i cook extra for myself always. The children's favorite is the Avecado spread on their bread.
The meals take on average about 40 minutes in total including the prep, which isn't that long in my opinion and they are all so easy.
I know the slogan is to decpetively put vegetables in each meal, which I do as per the recipe, but I always put a seperate vegetable on the side of their meal so they learn to accept and eat them. My twins love their vegetables and enjoy eating these meals.
This book is a life saver. They are getting a variety of healty meals and ... Read More:

How to Quit Without Feeling S**t: The fast, highly effective way to end addiction to caffeine, sugar, cigarettes, alcohol, illicit or prescription drugs: ... Alcohol, Illicit or Prescription Drugs

It is undoubtedly true that nutrition plays an important part in maintaining mental and emotional equilibrium.

This book sets out, in some detail, many of the biochemical factors which may influence the way we feel. It suggests foods and supplements which may be beneficial for generating a sense of well-being. It is a very informative book and gives a useful account of the association between the various neurotransmitters (serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine etc.) and mood.

Some parts of the book are more suitable for specialists with some knowledge of biochemistry than they are for the general reader. Some of the suggested regimes of supplements seem rather complicated (and possibly expensive).

I would have found the book ... Read More:

Antony Worrall Thompson's GI Diet

Childrens Toy Shop > Food and Drink > Diets and Healthy Eating
by: Antony Worrall Thompson, Mabel Blades, Jane Suthering

March 24, 2005
I have recently been diagnosed with insulin resistance, and told I needed to follow a low GI diet. A recipe book created by a chef who was also diagnosed as insulin resistant seemed like an obvious choice, but I was very disappointed for several reasons.

First, most of the recipes do not seem practical for everyday living. Many of them have long cooking times and need perishable or unusual ingredients, and therefore need forward planning.

Second, I feel there is not enough information to enable the reader to make their own low GI recipes. There is GI table in the front, but over-simplified (for my tastes) into low, medium or high GI and not containing that many foods. Also, bread in particular may be low, medium or high GI depending on variety ... Read More:
