PCOS is a difficult syndrome for doctors to diagnose, but for the one in five UK women who suffer from it its symptoms can be debilitating and depressing; they include weight gain, difficulty conceiving, mood swings, excessive hair growth, acne, low energy and irregular periods. Low GI foods address insulin resistance - the underlying cause of PCOS - as well as being a scientifically proven way to lose weight safely and keep it off. In this easy-to-understand guide, the authors explain what PCOS is and how to recognise and get it diagnosed, guide you through low GI eating principles, and provide the tools to help you create and stick to a healthy lifestyle and a low GI diet. This is the definitive, scientifically sound guide for anyone who needs to know more about living a healthy life with PCOS.

Based on the practically perfect Nordic Diet, this gimmick-free and scientifically proven approach to eating will help you keep unwanted pounds off for good. Powerhouse experts Arne Astrup, Professor Jennie Brand-Miller, and Christian Bitz know that the Nordic Diet is the “best diet in the world” for getting healthy and staying lean, even into middle age and beyond. As leaders in obesity research, glycemic science, and healthy living, respectively, they’ve learned that eating a specific ratio of proteins, whole grains, and vegetables and incorporating traditional Nordic ingredients such as rye flour, skyr yogurt, and rapeseed oil into one’s diet are the most effective paths to overall health and stable weight. There’s complex science at work behind the Nordic Diet, yet it’s remarkably simple and delicious to adopt. Readers will be able to see significant improvements in their health and weight—and even prevent the dreaded middle-age spread—without ever having to count a single calorie or eliminate carbs, dairy, and meat. Featuring an in-depth look at peer-reviewed studies that support the diet and more than 60 stunningly photographed recipes, The Nordic Way is the health-forward cookbook that readers need to get and stay healthy for life.
