This is the first book of Diana's that I have had the fortune to read, on my constant quest to contain my ever-expanding middle-aged spread.Rather than dole out the same old low carb, Atkins based, unhealthy short-term weight loss recipes, the author has written a well researched, fascinating guide to just how and why your body needs the basic components of nourishments, which ones to avoid and which you can consume healthily, happily in the knowledge you are doing only good to your body. After the easily digested sciencey parts of the book, Diana then goes into great detail explaining the healthy, filling foods and giving simple recipe ideas for each.For me, the chapter on Broths alone was worth the price of this book - the author's idea of adding this extra simple course to my evening meal has so far been a great success. More fiber, more nutrients and more full up!
