Book Description
The GDA Diet is the diet for everyone. It is the first and only diet to use the Guideline Daily Amounts (GDAs) food labelling system which has been adopted by leading brands throughout the UK. The GDA Diet is the key to losing weight and keeping it off! It’s simple to follow and doesn’t involve complicated recipes or fancy foods; in fact it incorporates the everyday products – including ready meals – you’ll find in the supermarket. Nothing is banned or off limits, allowing you to eat the foods you love while staying nutritionally balanced and making more informed choices about what you eat.
The GDA Diet has been compiled from over 20,000 supermarket products, making it the most comprehensive and varied diet ever! It is full of tips for real people, living busy lives with recommendations for people on budgets, the time pressed and vegetarians, so there are really no more excuses not to eat well and be healthy.
Follow the simple guidelines in this diet and you’ll confidently be able to break free from the ‘yo-yo diet cycle.’ This is your passport to a lifetime of permanent weight control and better health.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“The basis of this book is very good. Knowing how to read food labels encourages you to make healthier choices” (Woman & Home, January 2008)
From the Author
I wrote the GDAdiet for people exactly like you! People with busy lives who know they could eat a little better and should probably lose some weight but find the whole task just a bit too daunting. We all know how important it is to eat well don’t we? Most of us are carrying a few pounds we’d like to get rid of too but life just seems to get in the way of us doing anything about it, so we go on for another year and nothing changes. The GDAdiet changes all of that, and allows you to eat the everyday foods you know and love and fit them into that ever-elusive balanced diet. There are practical 7 day eating plans for busy people, vegetarians and people on a budget who all want to lose weight and be healthy. The GDA labels on the front of over 20,000 familiar supermarket foods tell you everything you need to know to make the right choices for a lifetime of healthy eating and permanent weight control.
