My reading material of late. 
So after trying every diet under the sun, most of which consist of bland boring eating and hunger pains I am now on my new diet-expedition. I was given this book by a friend because, as like most girls, believe anything written about foods/diets on websites, magazines etc. Food Myths is based on science and 'dumbs' down the facts and explains in a language anyone can understand. I used to be afraid of carbs especially at night, this is my favourite fact so far:
Avoid carbs after 5pm to lose weight? The time you eat carbs makes no difference to your weight - it's the total amount you eat over the day that counts. Withholding carbs at the evening meal can trigger late-night snacking. Eat smaller portions of carb-rich core foods such as bread, pasta, rice, noodles and the like, and choose lower GI versions combined with plenty of veggies, satisfying amounts of milk products and lean meat, chicken, fish or vegetarian alternatives.


But you already knew that right?
