Tesco GI Diet

Read my personal review of this dieting book which will really change your life.

I have lost weight with this great book Paul McKenna's book I can make you slim.
New revised edition!

I haven't been hungry since I started this diet and there is no weighing, measuring or special foods to eat.

Very easy to follow - you can eat ALL your favourite foods!

I personally recommend you buy this book.
It has changed the way I look at food and dieting! You will find it easier than ever before to diet - and it won't seem like dieting as you're allowed all the foods you like!

If you'd like to eat the same types of food then you need to learn about food swapping and how to reduce your caloire intake whilst eating your favourite foods.

Food swapping hints

When you're having a ready made sandwich check to see if they have low calorie versions available. If they don't then suggest it!

Check out low calorie mayonaise when doing the shopping. It will allow you more mayo for your calories!

Try sugar free sugar! Some people find it has a bitter taste though (If you don't like diet drinks cos they're "sour" then you might not like fake sugar)

Always check the calories on diet versions of products (Sometimes its a very small difference - so they've replaced the suagr/fat with somethign else.... so if you're couting calories and not fat then the slightly lower calorie might not be worth the additional cost. However if you're trying to reduce fat or sugar instake read and compare that bit of the label.

Make your own coleslaw at home - you'll control the mayonaise (and you can vary the veggies too)

Rather than frying food read the instructions and see if you can grill it instead.

Swap chips for jacket potatoes.

Swap fried egg for poached egg

Swap tinned fruit in syrup for fruit in juice.

Swap a big fast food burger for a small one
Swap large fries for small
Swap a milkshake for a diet drink or a water or even juice!

Swap a restaurant meal heavy in fat for one served with salad

Avoid cheese sauces unless you've made it yourself and know how little fat you've put in it.

Try buying mini-chocolate bars - they're easier to divide up without feeling like you have to eat a whole huge bar. It'll be healthier for the kids too!
