Title: Tom Kerridge’s Dopamine Diet<br />
Author: Tom Kerridge<br />
Publisher: Bloomsbury/£20.00<br />
Ebook: £6.29<br />
I’m a huge fan of Michelin starred chef Mr<br />
Kerridge who has amazingly shed eleven stone<br />
over the last three years. If you’re struggling to<br />
lose weight, read this book and learn about Tom’s<br />
Dopamine diet. It’s a different diet as the recipes<br />
feature ingredients that trigger the release of the<br />
‘happy hormone’ dopamine in your brain, so you<br />
actually feel good. By ditching alcohol and starchy<br />
carbs in favour of plenty of protein, fresh fruit and<br />
veg, you will be eating meals that will help you<br />
shed the weight, whilst giving your taste buds lots<br />
of flavours so you’ll enjoy what you’re eating. A<br />
recipe book with a difference and the difference is<br />
you’ll lose weight and enjoy your food too. U<br />
Title: Diamonds Are Forever<br />
Author: Mary Long<br />
Publisher: John Blake Publishing /£14.99<br />
Shirley Bassey has come a long<br />
way since her early days back in<br />
Tiger Bay, Wales. She is without<br />
doubt one of the iconic singers<br />
and performers of all time.<br />
Her story, told by devoted fan<br />
Mary Long is a fabulous read,<br />
detailing Shirley’s journey from<br />
singing in the pubs and clubs<br />
in Tiger Bay to singing at<br />
events such as the Oscars<br />
and the Royal Variety Show.<br />
Unbelievably Ms. Bassey<br />
this year celebrates her<br />
80th birthday she has<br />
been a great ambassador<br />
for Wales and given so<br />
much pleasure to people across the<br />
world – what a star. U<br />
Title: Mindful Eating<br />
Author: Rachel Bartholomew & Mandy<br />
Pearson<br />
Publisher: Cico books /£12.99<br />
Would you describe yourself as a<br />
person who eats ‘mindlessly’?<br />
Do you nibble away whilst on<br />
the computer, forget lunchbreaks<br />
and just keep nibbling?<br />
Well this book offers hope. It<br />
applies ‘mindful principles’<br />
to everyday eating habits. By<br />
becoming mindful of what<br />
you eat encourages you to<br />
become aware of the whole<br />
experience of eating and<br />
allows you to appreciate and<br />
savour what you eat. By using this<br />
method you can also break the negative habits such<br />
as over-eating and those horrid experiences of yo-yo dieting,<br />
letting you lose weight and keep it off as well!<br />
