[QUOTE="Heathenlass, post: 742104, member: 84861"] So I have some free time while waiting in for a delivery, and have had the chance to read the book completely . For those who haven't got the book, the Table of Contents reads : What is a very low carb/ high fat lifestyle ? The science of carbohydrate The science supporting a very low carb/high fat lifestyle How could this lifestyle benefit me ? Not a quick fix but sustainable lifestyle change Questions to ask yourself before you start. Step 1: What are you currently eating ? Step 2: identification of carbohydrate foods Step 3: Eliminating carbohydrates - how low do you go? Step 4: What can you eat? Step 5: Monitoring success Step 6: Maintainence Essential tips to ensure success e.g eating enough salt and fat. Frequently asked questions Filling up on fat Focus on alcohol Zero and low calorie sweetners Glycaemic index Reading and understanding food labels Carbohydrate content of everyday foods Sample meal plans Low carb recipes Where can I obtain further information and support ? Health indicators Monitoring health There is a lot of useful information in the book, and it is clear and waffle free ( pardon the pun! ) . I particularly liked the LCHF " Eatwell Plate" and the explanation of food groups, daily portions and what is a portion . It's a good starting point with more information given on achieving the right balance and resources such as how to use myfitnesspal. The carbohydrate content of common foods again, is a good starting point, with suggestions as to how to obtain the carb count of others not in the list. Vegetarians note - vegetarian protein such as Quorn are mentioned, but there is not a huge deal to be found in here, neither is there in the recommended " Carbs and Cals " book and app. However, this information can be found through myfitnesspal and other resources online. The recipes are good though not that many as I believe them to be a starting point - there are a wealth of low carb cook books out there . I tried the low carb bread at 1g carb per 56g serving, and the Beef lasagne with leek pasta, substituting the beef with Quorn mince, and both were very, very good :) I think that the book is an excellent start for those who are contemplating adopting this lifestyle and those who have questions about the current advice of eating low fat/ high carb , and also has items of interest for those of us that already live a LCHF lifestyle . If you need further convincing of the lack of credibility of the current dietary advice for diabetics, there is an excellent link given by [USER=127898]@Pasha[/USER] that I will post a link to thread after closing this one .
