Читать книгу The GL Diet Cookbook: Over 150 tasty recipes for easy weight loss - Nigel Denby - Страница 15

 Enjoy your food – if you don’t like it, don’t eat it!

 Eat regularly – every 4 hours is a good guide. Don’t skip meals or snacks – you are almost certain to pay for it by overeating or making poor food choices later.

 Eat a good variety of foods – try new things – there are so many fabulous foods out there!

 Get ‘slow-carb savvy’ and learn to swap high-GL foods for low-GL ones (see page 80).

 Keep hydrated – remember to get 1 1/2–2 litres of fluid a day.

 Try to avoid food with added sugar, glucose, glucose syrups and high fructose corn syrups (not to be confused with fructose). Get your sweetness from fruits and the occasional piece of high-cocoa dark chocolate (70 per cent or more cocoa). Sweeten recipes with natural agave syrup or fructose.

 A lapse is just a lapse, don’t turn it into a relapse!
