Tried and Tested Recipes

There are over 120 recipes, half of which were winning entries in a competition – so they’ve been made by ordinary dieters in their homes, and are all tried and tested.

Calorie Counting

The idea of the book is to help you cut 500 calories a day. By fine tuning your diet like this, making small changes in the way you cook and the ingredients you use, you can start to lose weight – and more importantly keep it off. It certainly helps with calorie counting, as each recipe tells you just how many calories there are per serving. So you can indulge in a breakfast of tasty Coconut and Banana Pancakes drizzled with maple syrup, safe in the knowledge that there are 193 calories per serving. (Mind, the recipe makes enough for 4 people, so be sure you’ve other people there to share them with. Otherwise it would be all too easy to polish them off yourself.)

Daily Menu

The book is intended to be adaptable, and is divided into chapters that help you plan daily menus. There are sections on breakfasts, lunchboxes, vegetarian dishes, desserts – and dishes that will fill you up when you’re ravenous.
