Michelin-starred chef Tom Kerridge has been developing top recipes for nearly three decades & knows how to make things taste good. He also understands how much willpower it takes to shift unhealthy excess weight, because he has lost over 11 stone in the last four years by following a low-carb diet. Now Tom is turning his attention to helping food-lovers who have chosen a low-calorie diet as their own route to weight-loss. This is a low-calorie diet with a difference
- it`s based on hunger-satisfying portions of delicious, low-calorie dishes that taste amazing. The focus is on the food that we can & should be eating to lose weight, which is easy to make & won`t make you feel as though you are missing out. Recipes include warm halloumi salad; salt & pepper squid; sweet potato & black bean burritos; sticky pork chops; & baked doughnuts with sweet five-spice dust. As Tom says: ` It`s impossible to stick to a diet if the food you`re expected to eat is boring & doesn`t fill you up. So I`ve developed lots of tasty & satisfying recipes that people will love to cook & eat, but that will also help them lose weight. I truly believe that this attitude works. I`ve been there myself & now I want to help others get there too.` By adopting a new, healthy approach to eating you really CAN lose weight for good.

Lost Among The Birds: Accidentally Finding Myself In One Very Big Year

Early in 2013 Neil Hayward was at a crossroads. He didn`t want to open a bakery or whatever else executives do when they quit a lucrative but unfulfilling job. He didn`t want to think about his failed relationship with ”the one” or his potential for ruining a new relationship with ”the next one.” And he almost certainly didn`t want to think about turning forty. And so instead he went birding. Birding was a lifelong passion. It was only among the birds that Neil found a calm that had eluded him in the confusing world of humans. But this time he also found competition. His growing list of species reluctantly catapulted him into a Big Year--a race to find the most birds in one year. His peregrinations across twenty-eight states and six provinces in search of exotic species took him to
a hoarfrost-covered forest in Massachusetts to find a Fieldfare; to Lake Havasu, Arizona, to see a rare Nutting`s Flycatcher; and to Vancouver for the Red-flanked Bluetail. Neil`s Big Year was as unplanned as it was accidental: It was the perfect distraction to life. Neil shocked the birding world by finding 749 species of bird and breaking the long-standing Big Year record.He also surprised himself: During his time among the hummingbirds, tanagers, and boobies, he found a renewed sense of confidence and hope about the world and his place in it.
