The Paleo diet is the latest and greatest eating innovation,
helping people everywhere slim down and live healthier lives. Free
yourself forever from faddy food replacements and low calorie
alternatives, and simply observe one golden rule: stick to the
foods the human body has evolved to eat. Follow the example of your
caveman ancestors and fuel your body with a diet of meat (organic
and grass-fed where possible), fish, vegetables, fruit and roots.
This book is your simple and accessible guide to eating simple,
delicious food within the Paleo guidelines, with a huge range of
ideas for breakfasts, lunches and dinners. This
beautifully-designed book has even more ways to make the paleo diet
work for you. With full colour illustrations throughout, this book
covers all the basics, while over 75 delicious recipes will enhance
your repertoire - staying motivated on your journey to better
health and weight loss needn't be a trial when you can enjoy
satisfying, healthful meals like Spinach-stuffed Squid,
Slow-roasted Pork Belly with Celeriac Mash and Jerusalem Artichoke
Soup with Parsley Pesto. You can even enjoy desserts such as
Blueberry and Raspberry Cobbler.
In the UK in 2012 an estimated 60,000 people had their gallbladder
removed because of gallstones and over 2010-2012 the figure for
Ireland was nearly 20,000. This number has been increasing year on
year into a virtual epidemic, almost certainly related to
contemporary high sugar/fructose diets. But it is fats that bring
on gallstone symptoms - `gallbladder colic', said to be one of the
most acutely painful experiences we can have. While seeking
treatment for gallstones, the only way to avoid this pain is to
follow a no-fat or very low-fat diet so that the gallbladder is not
stimulated into action. But how to change the habits of a life
time? Juliet Sullivan has been on that journey and shares what she
has learned along the way (now in an expanded second edition),
including what worked for her and the recipes she developed that
saw her through to surgery and beyond. With star ratings for fat
levels, her guidance is quick and easy to follow and provides
low-fat alternatives of family favourites - from a roast dinner to
spag bol - so sufferers can eat with family and friends and not
feel excluded on account of their medical problem. As many
reviewers have said, this book is like getting advice from a close
friend with whom you have a shared experience.
