ANTONY WORRALL THOMPSON'S GI DIET Antony Worrall Thompson with Dr Mabel Blades&Jane Suthering
If you’ve seen Antony Worrall Thompson on TV looking ever so slim after going on a low GI diet, you’ll want to know how he did it. An advocate of good food and healthy eating, and committed to losing weight himself, Antony Worrall Thompson has created over 100 recipes that are not only low GI, but also irresistible. The glycaemic index is a measure of how fast carbohydrates are broken down by your body and therefore how fast they raise blood sugar levels. Low GI foods give you a feeling of fullness for much longer, so that you don’t feel the need to eat so much. They also reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Unlike other diets, a low-GI diet distinguishes between different types of carbs, so that you do not completely eliminate any group of foods. This ensures that your weight loss is steady and healthy. Antony includes recipes for breakfasts, snacks, dinners and deserts, and combines international influences with British ones, so you’ll never be stuck for ideas.
