The World Health Organisation recommends that overall fat intake should make up no more than 20 - 30 per cent of our daily calories, or in other words, no more than 60 grams of fat each day - of which no more than 20 grams should be saturated fat. However, recent research by the UK's Food Standard's Agency reveals that there is still a lot of public confusion about fat, with nearly half of us not fully recognising that saturated fat is bad for our health. To make it easy for you to follow a healthy low - fat diet, each recipe in this book comes with an easy - to - follow nutritional breakdown, detailing overall fat content, saturated fat level and calories, as well as symbols highlighting nutritional benefits. So you can mix and match recipes to reduce your intake of damaging fats, while making sure that you're getting all the nutrients you need. The invaluable Menu Plans show how to stick to these recommendations, enabling you to balance meals on a daily basis. In other words, if you choose a higher - fat lunch then you simply pick a lower - fat dinner.

Eating low - sugar foods doesn't have to mean being condemned to a dull diet, as the wonderful range of recipes in this book amply demonstrates. The good news is that there are numerous naturally sweet foods and different flavourings that can be substituted so that there's no need to resort to artificial sweeteners with their reported adverse health effects. One hundred easy - to - follow recipes are divided into Breakfasts & Brunches, Lunches & Dinners, with special extended chapters featuring low - sugar versions of those notoriously sugary Teas & Snacks and Desserts. You'll find delicious family favourites such as fruit crumbles, sponge puddings, biscuits and cakes. Savoury foods can also be surprisingly high in added sugar, particularly canned foods and sauces, and you'll find specially adapted recipes for healthier, low - sugar alternatives. All recipes have been carefully created to be suitable for diabetics to meet their dietary requirements. This means that the recipes are also low in salt and saturated fat and high in unrefined carbohydrates and fibre - not forgetting packed with bountiful amounts of fresh produce.
