When Fiona Carns wrote this cookbook, little did she realize that it was at the cutting edge of medicine. One of the biggest and best diet trials ever done has just proven that a combination high-protein and low-GI diet improves the ability to sustain weight loss and is superior to either a high-protein or low-GI diet alone. The combined diet was not only effective for maintaining weight loss; it had the lowest dropout rate (that is, the highest acceptability) of the five diets that were compared. And the good news doesn’t end there: The high-protein, low-GI diet reduced one of the most reliable indicators of heart disease risk. So with this book, Fiona Carns brings you the best of both worlds—the flavor and enjoyment of good food and the knowledge that you are doing the best for your body.
