Anthony Worral Thompson's GI Diet

Here's a list of some recipes:

fruited teabread
fragrant asian carrot & lentil soup
celtic lamb & barley soup
warm calf's liver salad
piquant avacado salsa
chunky aubergine & yoghurt dip
aromatic tomato tart
chickpea curry
crab & asparagus fettucine
gi style shepherds pie
barley risotto
moroccan lamb stew
pear crumble
rice pudding

thanks puff, that sounds much more my style IYKWIM (that sounds very food snobby)

will put that on my Amazon wish list, buying on Amazon UK is still cheaper than the bookstore here in Oz

Well done Puff! You are staying well on track .

I didn't lose any again this week. Not really sure why as I have been pretty good and "feel" a bit thinner. It does seem hard going at the moment.

Saker, although I've lost, I'm finding it hard going at the mo. I'm sure my body rebels against losing it's fat stores in the winter!

Well done grumpy!

I'll try to post the recipe later

Well done grumpy!

Bought a nice organic muesli the other day - it's called Pertwood Farm organic muesli with fruits and seeds. No added sugar - contains oat flakes, sultanas, barley flakes, rye barley flakes and kibbles, chopped apricot, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and linseeds. Just mention for anyone who doesn't feel like making their own or wants something to take on holiday.

puff, thanks for the book title, as well as the list of recipes! They sound lovely.

I got the Helen Foster book on ebay. Diet starts when it arrives. Do I have to admit my exact weight before? I think I'm about 10 and a half. Ideal is 9 stone.

hurray I lost 2lbs this week despite Mum's sabitage for which she apologised today! I can't tell you how relieved I am. ^Think the reducing carbs has worked. Well done everyone else.

Anyone know what the GI index would be to this recipe. A guess is welcome.

1 cup porridge oats
1 cup white flour
1 cup brown flour
Qtr cup sugar
2tbls golden syrup
2 eggs
1 cup semi skimmed milk

It is very nice and fills you up for ages. I suspect you coul use 2 cups brown flour.

Thanks

Brilliant melbob!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am soooo pleased for you!!!!!!!

grumpy, the recipe is loooooooong, not difficult as such, just a lot to type out.

If you want to CAT me, I can send a photocopy if you like.

Hooray Melbob - excellent news .

Eaney, I can't guess the GI but I would suspect there is too much flour and sugar in there for it to be low. Sounds nice though.

I think I've got a book with advice on this, will look

Hmmm, all the chinese stuff I love is high GI

Here's the advice:

Low GI choices:

clear soups
strir fried vegetables
baked and grilled fish
stir fried chicken
dishes made with tofu
savoury sauces such as soy, oyster sauce, ginger and garlic

High GI to avoid

any white rice or noodles
sesame prawn toast
dim sum
spring rolls
sweet & sour dishes
the pancakes with crispy duck
toffee apple/banana

The thing is, its difficult to avoid any rice or noodles, so just don't have too much

I'd say eat what you want and be good for the rest of the week

roast potatoes yummmmmmmm
