An easy-to-follow plan for healthy weight loss!
If you're tired of sugar-free this and low-carb that, constantly restricting your diet to lose weight and stay healthy, The Everything Low-Glycemic Cookbook is the perfect choice for you! According to experts, switching to a low–glycemic index (GI) diet is the key to losing weight--and keeping it off. The GI diet isn't a low-fat diet; you won't find calorie counting or reduced portion sizes. In fact, following the low-GI diet just means eating more low-glycemic foods and avoiding others that have a high GI number.
Popular food blogger Carrie Forbes has compiled 300 low-GI meals that are as tasty as they are healthy, including:
- Strawberry-banana pancakes
- Spicy cilantro dip
- Butternut squash soup
- Poached chicken with pears and herbs
- Country-style pork ribs
- Easy vegetarian lasagna with spinach
- Grilled lemon-and-dill swordfish steaks
- Peanut butter–chocolate chip cupcakes
Armed with glycemic index values of common foods and hundreds of recipes for satisfying, delicious dishes, you'll have all you need to lose weight and eat well--every meal of the day!
