The simple and sustainable route to weight loss.
For many of us, losing weight can be a real battle - yo yo-ing from one extreme diet to another and never finding an approach that we can (and want to) apply long-term.
Until now. The 30g Plan reveals that by balancing 30 plants a week with 30 grams of protein and fibre in our daily meals, we will not only lose weight easily but feel full and reap countless other health benefits too.

Did you know that 62% of the food in our supermarkets is not only
processed but 'ultra-processed' (ingredients from other foods are
combined to make something 'new', often in colours that do not exist in
nature) and that data shows that by eating this kind of food over time
we are literally slowly poisoning ourselves?
In the hard-hitting, ground-breaking tradition of his NY Times
bestseller FAT CHANCE, which revealed the dangers of sugar, Dr Robert
Lustig persuasively presents a stark exposé of how our addiction to
processed foods (aided and abetted by the food industry, big ag, big
pharma, institutional medicine and the government) is behind the lethal
increase in major non-communicable diseases, including diabetes, heart
disease, fatty liver disease, cancer and dementia. We have come to
accept that these chronic diseases are simply part of the 'natural
ageing process', but Dr Lustig makes the case that this is simply not
true.
The solution on both a personal and societal level is a return to
unprocessed food and Dr Lustig offers a doable plan for us to heal and
restore our own health and wellbeing with real food, and in the process
boosting our immunity to viruses like Covid-19.
The Veggie Family Cookbook is the new essential kitchen bible for year-round family cooking.
Claire Thomson writes foolproof, delicious recipes that will please everyone around the table – as a professional chef and mum of three (two of which are vegetarian), she understands the challenge of whipping up tasty, crowd-pleasing dishes with vegetables centre stage, and all with minimum fuss at the end of a busy working day.
With an emphasis on practicality and flavour, The Veggie Family Cookbook provides you with every veg-forward recipe you will ever need, whether you're a vegetarian family or simply looking for easy ways to get everyone eating more veg. Including Broad Bean Falafels and Spring Rolls for lunchbox heroes, Fried Rice with Tofu and loaded veg traybakes for speedy suppers, ideas for veggie feasts for celebrations and weekends, and fruity desserts that can be rustled up in no time, this book is jam-packed with inspirational ideas for the curious home cook.
Osteoporosis, the brittle-bone disease, was long considered one of
the inevitable curses of aging. Many of us have watched our
grandmothers and mothers gradually become more stooped, more prone
to bone fractures. Recent medical evidence indicates that
osteoporosis may be prevented if we increase our calcium intake
beginning in our late twenties, and prevention is still possible
even if we do not start increasing our calcium intake until our
forties. For calcium to work most effectively against bone loss it
must be taken in specific proportion to other kinds of foods
something a simple calcium supplement does nothing to ensure. The
Calcium Cookbook shows us how to do just that in two hundred
delicious ways. It offers recipes that provide the calcium and
other nutrients essential for prolonged well-being, without
depending on high-calorie or high-cholesterol foods. Each recipe is
carefully designed to maximize the absorption of calcium."
Cooking for kids can be tricky but this book, packed with recipes
that have been tried and tested by thousands of kids, is here to
help. Feeding kids is a maze - one day they'll eat a whole cucumber
from one end to the other; for the next three weeks, they will
swear it's a slimy snozzcumber. Whether time or cash strapped, it's
all too tempting to turn to fish fingers, bangers and mash and
other kids' classics, whilst wishing it was easier to do it better
on all fronts: more exciting, more inspiring, more wholesome. If
only there was someone out there who knew how to feed kids really
well on a budget, who could inspire them to try different food, and
make it easy on the cook and easy on the pocket! Well, there is.
And Chefs in Schools would like to help. Chefs in Schools is a
charity that operates in over 80 schools and feeds up to 30,000
pupils a day. They have a plethora of renowned chefs that support
and endorse them as their patrons or trustees, including Thomasina
Miers, Yotam Ottolenghi, Henry Dimbleby, Prue Leith and Amelia
Freer. This cookbook stands apart from other 'cooking for kids'
cookbooks as the recipes are tried and tested on thousands of
children. They're nutritious and proven to work. This cookbook
tells the stories and shares the recipes of the people who are
helping to transform school food. Their mission is to teach
children to love and understand real food cooked from fresh
ingredients, and to inspire them not just to eat it, but to choose
it, and to learn to cook it for themselves too. Chapters include:
Breakfast, A New Way In, Midweek Suppers, Street Food & Snacks,
Feasting, Sides & Sharing, Bread, Desserts. "Bye bye boring
school dinners - this is the future of food for our kids" - Tom
Kerridge "A brilliantly inspiring book packed with seriously good
family focussed recipes. A total must have." - Thomasina Miers
