Dan Green knows how hard it is both to lose weight and to keep it off. He lost 29.5 kg (65lb) and has kept it off for 20 years and so he has developed his recipes so that they facilitate long-term, sustainable weight loss.
In his latest book, The Paleo Diet, Dan advocates returning to a healthier way of life - cutting out all the heavily processed, high fat, fast food that is an invention of recent times, and getting back to the fruits, veg, meat, seafood and nuts that our Paleolithic ancestors thrived on when our species evolved. The digestive system we have now was shaped back then so it makes perfect sense to return to a similar diet - eating organic, omitting dairy and cooking with healthy fats and the right kind of carbs. This diet offers a welcome change in lifestyle and is perfect for those with an interest in simple, easy, healthy cooking that not only want to lose weight but also enjoy many of the additional health benefits that come with it. The 100 recipes in this book cover breakfast, lunch, dinners and snacks and include Walnut and Banana Bread, Portobello Mushrooms with Almond Crust and Seared Lemon Tuna with Olive Tapenade. They are easy to follow, low in fat and high in flavour and as each recipe includes a nutritional analysis by a registered dietician, they will inspire and encourage you to cook and eat well so you not only lose weight but also look and feel fantastic.
