An interesting book, but as I said in my title, it's quite hard going and sometimes I find myself switching off. I tend to like books that are in reference type sections and are easy to refer to, but this is a bit laboured. The author is obviously a clever guy, but I wanted a book which wasn't such a chore to read.

I recently embarked on the lighter life program and lost 3 stone. When I got the end of the 100 days the maintenance programme seemed long and drawn out (not to mention expensive). Once I had established the principles of Low GI, I set out to find a book to help me maintain my weight. I brought several books and I have to say this book was by far the best. It imparts common sense and logical facts on eating rather than tell us what we cant eat. I have found the 10 principles very easy to follow and so far, I have maintained my weight. Whats more, I feel very healthy and comfortable that if I slip up I am following the 80 / 20 rule and being a normal human being!

I bought this book purely on it's 3 x five star reviews and I am delighted with it. The recipes are delicious, versatile and the illustrations are perfect. It is a well designed in its presentation, it gives a lot of nutritional information on all the beans, grains, pulses and legumes and the recipes also cater for everyone who wants to cook with them whether they be vegan, vegetarian or meat eaters. It also gives nutritional/calorie information for each dish. 256 pages, a big book and excellent value for money.

I watched the TV series and was very impressed by the results that Gillian was getting so I thought I would get the books and give them a try.
Having tried this diet I can honestly say I believe the people who lost weight did so because the food was so bland they gave up eating, (certainly lettuce soup was enough to put me off eating for life), and the diet is just not practical for anyone on a budget, I put all the ingredients into Tesco online for one week and the bill totaled over £60.00 and as every day is different I ended up storing randon things like half an avacado.
The basic principles are sound, unprocessed food is far better for the body and everyone is better off eating fresh food than pre-packaged adative full rubbish, sadly ... Read More:

All Francoise Freedman's books are excellent and this latest is no exception. What is great about this book is that it is suitable for those who have practiced little or no yoga before and also for experienced yoginis. The book takes you safely through the three trimesters with mini sequences, explaining what muscles you are strengthening and stretching. Common complaints like sciatica and symphysis pubis disorder are also addressed. The beautifully shot photos make everything clear and easy to follow.
The book also takes you through the postpartum period. Unlike most books, this isn't just a small add on at the end of the book. Freedman gives several progressive mini routines to help realign the body and promote strength and vitality.
I can't recommend ... Read More:

This book was really great! It is useful for people who want to lose weight, because you get a good motivation: your health! And you can still choose a variety of food that even if you are picky with most of it, you will find what you like... and maybe discover some new! I am really convinced that everybody should pay more attention to what the body communicates when we eat and this book helped me a lot!

This recipe book has a great range of menus from quick and easy snacks to preparing a full meal. Only criticism I would say is that alot of the recipes don't have pictures, yet there is always space to put a small one in - it's difficult to imagine what these recipes will or should look like when done correctly!

Have to be honest, it's rare I'll even bother to write a book review but feel compelled to here. After being a veggie for 20 years, I'm toying with the idea of becoming a vegan. I'm not one for being preached at and most 'activists' irritate me beyond description. Also, I'm not one for overblown American in your face type writing, so I was a little apprehensive about buying this. I needn't have been. It's superb. Honest, humorous, non preachy and debunks many myths including several perpetuated by vegans themselves. The authors include links for further info and resources which adds to the value too. If you're considering becoming a vegan or even just flirting with the idea, buy this book.

I became a vegetarian in 2007, towards the end of my first year at university. My family were concerned about how I was going to cope with making meals that were nutritious and varied and if I'm being honest, I was a little concerned myself. However, it was something I really wanted to do. Initially it was because meat was expensive to buy and I didn't really like preparing it. I now think that if I was presented with a meat dish I'd be unable to eat it as it has become more of a moral crusade!

This was the first solely vegetarian cookbook I purchased and it's constantly in use. I love the way the recipes are laid out - the star rated difficulty levels, the step by step instructions and especially the photographs of the recipes - if you're not used to cooking ... Read More:
